DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a plate making press. 2. Description of the Related Art There is no conventional stencil printing machine having a memory for storing the number of prints and automatically and continuously sorting printed materials. Therefore, in this type of conventional printing press, when it is desired to sort printed materials, when printing of one set number of sheets is completed, a sorting means such as a tape marker is activated at that point, and the printing is stopped until the next printing. . Next, if you want to print the same number of sheets on the same plate, you only need to issue a print start command. If you want to print a different number of sheets (classified printing), re-enter the different number of sheets and then issue a print start command. Must be issued. Also, after printing one set number of sheets on one plate, and then printing on another plate after finishing, set the next manuscript at the end of printing on one plate and start plate making. When it is necessary to reset the number of sheets by issuing a command to perform plate discharge-plate making-plate feeding, set a new number of sheets and issue the print start command again to perform the next printing,
The necessary operations were performed by the operator each time. [0003] In a conventional plate-making printing machine, in order to sort printed materials, the operator is almost always at the machine side as described above, and must perform cumbersome operations. There was a problem that had to be. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional plate-making printing press. If a plurality of originals are set and a plurality of sets of print number information are stored in each original, each of the originals can be used. If multiple sets of prints are printed and classified for each original, and multiple originals are set, and a single set of print count information is stored for each original,
Since a single set of prints is printed and classified for each document, and all these operations are performed automatically, the operator does not need to perform many of the operations conventionally required. Only input and start key operations are required, and tasks such as sorting can be performed by automatic control that reduces the amount of operation and improves operability without requiring the operator to perform each operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stencil printing machine capable of performing the above. According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a printing press main body having a plate making means, a printing means, and a sorting means for sorting printed matter after discharge.

Then, the printing means and the sorting means are operated to print and sort the same number of sheets of the same number of sheets set in the memory address 1, and (2) when printing different numbers of sheets for a plurality of different originals, respectively. In the memory address, the number corresponding to each original is sequentially set in the memory address, a plurality of different originals for plate making are set in the plate making means, and the plate making and printing operations are started. The plate making, the printing means, and the sorting means are operated to print and sort the number of sheets corresponding to the first printing number set in the memory address 1 to perform the first printing.
The plate is discharged, then the next plate is made by the next plate-making manuscript, the printing means and the sorting means are operated, and the number of sheets corresponding to the next plate set at the next memory address is printed. It is characterized by performing classification. In the above-described plate-making printing machine, the control unit (1) stores a plurality of sets of print number information in the storage unit and the document detection unit sets a plurality of plate-making originals. When it is detected that the first plate-making manuscript is detected, the first plate is made by the first plate-making manuscript, and the printing means and the sorting means are operated to set the set stored in the storage means corresponding to the first plate-making manuscript. When the second plate making original is detected by the original detecting means after completion of the printing, the plate making means is operated to make the second plate by the second plate making original. Is operated to print and sort the next set of sheets stored in the storage means corresponding to the second plate-making manuscript, and (2) information on the number of prints of a single set is input to the storage means; The document detecting means detects that a plurality of platemaking documents are set. Actuating the plate making means to make the first plate with the first plate making manuscript, and activating the printing means and the sorting means to print the set of sheets stored in the storage means corresponding to the first plate making manuscript; When the second original is detected by the original detecting means after the end, the plate making means is operated, the second original is made by the second original, and the printing means and the sorting means are operated. Then, printing and sorting of the next set of sheets stored in the storage means corresponding to the first plate-making manuscript are performed.

FIG. 3 shows an operation panel of the control unit 2, wherein 25 is a numeric keypad, 26 is a counter, 27 is a memory, 28 is a start key, 29 is a stop key, 30 is a plus one key, 31 indicates the continuous mode key, 32 indicates the memory key, 33 indicates the clear key, and the numeric keypad 25
And the clear key 33 constitute the input means 6 for the number of prints, the continuous mode key 31 constitutes the continuous mode command means 8, and the memory key 32 is used to press the key 32 when confirming the stored plurality of prints. Thus, the next memory address and the number of prints stored at that address are displayed. When a plurality of print numbers are stored, the key 32 is used to input the number of prints, and then the memory key is repeatedly turned ON. The memory 27 is a memory address display section, and the counter 26 displays the number of prints corresponding to the memory address. Next, an example of the operation of the above will be described. Example 1 Working example of printing the same number of copies of a plurality of documents In this case, for each of two documents, 20 pages are printed. A) User's work A-1 ... Set two originals in the original setting section 22 (A
DF equipment) a-2 ... Enter the number of sheets 20 into the memory 1 using the numeric keypad 25 a-3 ... turn on the continuous mode key 31 a-4 ... turn on the start key 28 b) Machine work b-1 ... one piece Plate making operation of the second original B-2 Printing of 20 sheets using the same plate B-3 Sorting means ON (tape marker) b-4 Plate making operation of the second original set B-5 Same as above 20 prints on the plate No. 6 ... No. 0 in the memory 2 and there is no next document. Therefore, the operation is stopped while displaying the memory 1 and the continuous mode is also turned off. In this case, the number of printed sheets is different.
For the second document, 15 pages are printed. A) User's work A-1 ... Set two originals in the original setting section 22 (A
DF equipment) A-2: Input the number 25 into the memory 1 using the numeric keypad 25 A-3 ... Turn on the memory key 32 to display the memory 2 and display the number

The plurality of storage capacities are determined in advance when a program is created. In this case, it is assumed that there are “n + 1” (n is an integer) types of memory addresses. By turning on the memory key 32, the memory address order is displayed sequentially from the address 1. However, if the memory address "n + 1" is set to 0, the next display is automatically performed. It will return to 1. FIG. 5 shows an example of using memory addresses in the above working examples 1 and 2. FIG. 5 (a) shows a case in working example 1 where n = 1 where only one type of number of prints is input. In this case, the number of prints 20 is displayed at the memory address 1, and the number of prints 0 is set at the memory address 2, ie, the memory address "n + 1", and the display automatically returns to the address 1. (B) shows the operation example 2 where n = 2 in which two types of the number of prints are inputted. In this case, 25 prints are displayed at the memory address 1 and the memory address 2 is displayed. Shows the number of prints,
In the memory address 3, that is, the memory address “n + 1”, the number of prints 0 is set, and the display automatically changes to the address 1.
Will be returned. FIG. 4 shows a flow chart of the above working example. In this embodiment, only one type of start key 28 is provided. It is determined that the start key 28 is turned on when there is no original and that printing is started. Then, if the continuous mode is on after the plate making, the process proceeds to the printing process as it is. If the continuous mode is off, the process waits until the start key 28 is turned on, and does not proceed to the printing process. Next, after the printing process is completed for the set number, the set number of the NEXT memory is displayed on the counter 26 of the control unit 2.
If there is no T memory number, the number of the memory address 1 is displayed on the counter 26. In the first and second examples, the original setting unit
The 22 is equipped with an ADF, but it is not necessary to equip it. In this case, the number of prints is first stored, and when the memory of the number of prints is completed, the first number of prints is displayed, and the first document is placed in the document setting unit 22.
(Where document existence detecting means 7 is located). Then, the continuous mode key 31 is turned on, and the start key 28
Is turned on, stencil printing is continuously performed on the first document. This is the same as in Example 1, but if the next original is set in the original setting section 22 when printing is completed and the printing is completed, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. At this point, the next original is detected and the continuous mode is set, so that the plate making of the next original is automatically started, and thereafter, the process proceeds to the printing process. In other words, if there is an ADF, all the originals are set first, and then all are left to the machine.
Even if there is no DF, the same sort operation can be performed by setting the next original when printing is completed and printing is completed. [0015] The present invention is as described above, and includes a printing press main body having plate making means, printing means, and sorting means for sorting printed matter after discharge, and printing number input means. Storage means for storing a plurality of sets of print number information from the print number input means; document detecting means for detecting whether a plate making document is set; and a control circuit for controlling the operation of each means of the printing press body And a control unit having:
(1) When a plurality of sets of different print number information are input to the storage means, and a plurality of different originals for plate making corresponding to the plural sets are set, and detected by the original detecting means, the plate making means is activated. Then, the first plate is made by the first plate making manuscript, and the printing means and the sorting means are operated to print and sort the first set of sheets of paper stored in the storage means corresponding to the first plate making manuscript. When the second plate making original is detected by the original detecting means after the end, the plate making means is operated to make the second plate by the second plate making original, and the printing means and the sorting means are operated. Printing of the next second set of sheets of paper stored in the storage means corresponding to the second plate-making manuscript;
(2) When a single set of single print number information is input to the storage means and a plurality of different plate-making originals are set, and this is detected by the original detection means,
The plate making means is operated to make the first plate with the first plate making manuscript, the printing means and the sorting means are operated to print and sort the number of sheets stored in the storage means, and after that, the document detecting means When the second plate-making manuscript is detected, the plate-making means is operated to make a second plate with the second plate-making manuscript, the printing means and the sorting means are operated, and the Since the same number of sheets of paper are printed and sorted, if multiple documents are set and multiple sets of print number information are stored for each document, printing and sorting of multiple sets of printed sheets for each document If a plurality of originals are set, and a single set of print number information is stored for each original, printing and sorting of a single set of the number of prints are performed for each original, and these are all automatically performed. From what is done, In this case, the operator simply sets the original on the plate making means, enters the number of prints to be printed and divided by the number-of-prints input means into the storage means, and performs a similar operation of turning on the start key. It is possible to print and sort the desired number of sheets on the original, and it is not necessary to perform a special operation of the members for distinguishing each mode as in the related art, thereby reducing the amount of operation and improving the operability.
