Step 7: The bind mode flag indicating the bookbinding mode setting is turned on, and this flag information is sent to the bookbinding device for pairs 1 and 2.
Even if it is sent.

Next, it is determined whether the bookbinding is designated as left binding or right binding based on the manual instruction from the binding direction key 126 of the operation unit. If there is no designated manpower, the left binding mode will be automatically set. In this example, left binding is specified, and as a result, the left bind mode flag is turned on, and this flag information is sent to the bookbinding apparatus. (Steps 508-509 in Figure 5 (1))
When right binding is specified, the left bind mode flag is turned off (step 508-5 in FIG. 5 (1)).
10).

Next, information about the size and number of sheets of the document is received from the document processing device, a cover that matches the size and number of sheets of the document is selected from the cover data, and the selected data is written in the communication data. When binding 2 copies of 5 A4 originals, A
4 Covers 1 to 5 covers are selected.

Further, in step 511, the number of glue blanks corresponding to the number of originals is determined. In this example, when there are 1 to 5 originals, the length of the white glue is 10 m+s, when there are 5 = 10 originals, the white glue is 12 mm, and when there are 10 to 20 originals, the white glue is 14 mm. In addition, in order to provide a set amount of white area on the transfer paper, a shift (-recording mode) of the original image is set.The shift person for the original image is variably set according to the number of originals, as in the case of white paper.

Next, in step 512, it is checked whether the number of bound copies is one or more. When the number of bound copies is one, the single bind flag is turned on, and when the number of bound copies is plural, the single bind flag is turned off. Depending on the empty flag information in the information sent from the bookbinding device, the temporary hand λ in the bookbinding device
After confirming in step 516 that there is no transfer paper in the bin, the set number of copies is made in the image shift mode.

- When the presence of transfer paper in the time storage bin is detected, a warning is displayed on the liquid crystal display 150 and the operator is instructed to remove the transfer paper. Copying of the original is completed according to a well-known copy processing procedure. Then, the start flag for instructing the bookbinding apparatus to perform bookbinding is turned on (1), and the flag information is included in the data sent to the bookbinding apparatus (step 519 in FIG. 5(2)). Next, after transmitting the above-mentioned transmission data to the bookbinding device, cancel the image shift mode and reset each flag used internally in the software (steps 520- and 521 in FIG. 5 (2)).

Next, the control processing operation executed by CPt1 on the bookbinding apparatus side will be described.

(i-B) If the main body of the multi-copy binding copying apparatus does not send the instruction information for ^4, 54 copies, 2 copies, left, etc., the control procedure in Figure 6 (1) is executed first. .

In FIG. 6(1), initialization is performed in step 7001, and then the breech flag indicating the preheating state is turned on. Turn on the end flag (Figure 6 (1)
) Step 7QO2) Then, in step 7003, it is checked whether there is paper in the temporary storage bins 2301 to 2305 based on the sensor output, and the temporary storage bin 2301 is checked.
When it is determined that there is no paper in any of the areas 2305 to 2305, the empty flag is turned off to store the paper presence/absence state. (Step 7004 in FIG. 6(1)).

If there is paper in any of the temporary storage bins 2301 to 2305, the empty flag is turned on (step 7005 in FIG. 6(1)).

In this embodiment, binding is instructed by the binding key 125, so the procedure is from step 7006 to step 7007.
Proceed to step 7008. In step 7008,
Cover data “001-” in the received data (see Figure 8)
A heater suitable for the A4 cover 141 corresponding to is selected. At this time, after confirming that the pre-heater flag is on, the above-mentioned heater is preheated.The contents of various display data used in this embodiment are shown in FIG.

In FIG. 8, bit positions O to 2 indicate the size of the cover, and bit positions 3 to 5 indicate the appropriate thickness of the cover.

Bit positions 6 to 7 indicate the color of the cover, and bit position W8 indicates the presence/absence of the cover.

When the cover cassette is attached to the main body for the first time, similar to the transfer paper cassette of a conventional copying machine, a pair of micro switches on the main body are turned on due to the unevenness attached to the cover cassette. Is the above code signal indicating the type of cover inserted into the cover cassette a micro switch? , 8tl occurs from the second.

The width adjustment plate 2504 is adjusted in the thickness direction (X direction).

In addition, by adding an adjustment allowance of 2 mm to the 64 cover length 298 version specified by the received data, the width adjustment amount in the X direction can be calculated as follows:
Set it to 300■. For the width adjustment ball in the Z direction, the adjustment allowance is 30 from the A4 paper width of 210mo+ determined from the received data.
Set the width adjustment amount to 180■ by subtracting 0.

In the next step 7010, the A4 cover and the number of original sheets are 5.

In step 3, the printer waits for permission to perform the operation (bookbinding production i1) to be sent from the copying machine, and detects reception of the permission by turning on the start flag.

In response to this detection, in step 7014, the temporary storage bin 2 is
301. Staple the 4 or 5 sheets of transfer paper set on 2302 using the stapler @231G. In step 7015, the bre-heat flag is turned off, and the heat flag is turned on instead, causing the heating section to perform main heating. The heating temperature is adjusted to 150°C.

The procedure proceeds to step 701G in FIG. 6(2), where the received data is examined and it is detected that the binding direction is left binding instruction.

After the binding direction is detected, in step 7017, the stiblized East (A4.5 sheets) is transported to the bookbinder 2103 via the transport paths 2104 and 2105. On the other hand, if the left bind flag is off and the right doji is instructed,
The stable bundle (84.5 sheets) is transferred to the reversing roller 21.
Then, in step 7020, the heat 1-I/day flag is monitored. The heat 1 day flag is a flag that turns on when the temperature of the heating section reaches 150° C., that is, the temperature necessary for gluing the east side of the cover and the transfer paper.

When the heat 1/day flag is turned on, step 702
1 starts the first timer. Note that the ts first timer is a timer that measures 15 seconds, and step 702
Step 2 checks whether the first timer has timed up (time measurement has ended). When the time-up is detected, in step 7023, the amount of width shift in the X direction of the width shift plate 2504 is changed from 180011 to 1400μ, and the transfer paper bundle is pressurized.

Next, in step 7024, a second timer is started. The second timer is a timer that sets the pressurization time to 15 seconds at 84 hours. When the second timer ends jζ, the cooling flag is then monitored in step 7026. The cooling flag is a flag that is turned on when the bound bundle is stopped on the cooling bus 2604 and the cooling state is reached.

If the cooling flag is on and there is a previously bound bundle in the cooling bus 2604, a standby state is entered in step 7026'r until cooling of the bound bundle according to the procedure number is completed.

When the cooling flag is turned off, step 8 determines whether the cooling flag has ended or not.
The heating section under 503 has been moved, and now bookbinder 2
The bundle of bookbinders located at 503 is transported to the cooling bath 2604.

Subsequently, after stopping the bundle of bookbinders in the cooling bath 2604,
The cooling fan is rotated to cool down the bundle of bookbinders, and the heating unit, which is currently in the evacuated state, is moved to the specified position (M
After returning, set the cooling flag to on. Check the number of copies of the bound bundle in step 702B, and repeat the above binding operation until the specified number of copies are bound.l)

In FIG. 6(3), the value of the cooling flag is determined in step 7030, and if the cooling flag is not on, the cooling process is not performed and the process returns to the control procedure that was being executed up to kneading. On the other hand, when the Kouniling lag is on, the value of the temperature sensor output is checked in step 7031, and it is determined whether the temperature of the bound bundle has fallen to 40°C. When the temperature has decreased, the cooling fan is kept on and this control procedure is completed.

If after repeating this above procedure, the temperature of the bound bundle drops below 40, step 7032

In step r1 7035 of FIG. 6(4), it is checked whether the breheat flag is on, that is, whether preheating operation is instructed. If the breech flag is on, the process advances to step 7036.

In this step, in order to maintain the copper plate 2533 to be heated at the target value of 60°C for preheating operation, the temperature of the heater in the heating section is controlled.Next, the heater is reciprocated horizontally under the copper plate 2533. The position control is performed and this control procedure ends.

If the temperature of the copper plate 2533 has not reached the target value of 150° C., the heat 1/day flag is reset to OFF in step 7040, and this control procedure ends.

By repeatedly executing such a control procedure, when it is detected in step 7038 that the copper plate 2533 has reached the target value of 150°C, in step 7039, the controller turns on the heat-1 day flag to memorize that the bookbinding is possible. 1. This control procedure ends.

(ii-8) Number of single items binding If the number of bound items is 1, step 7007 in FIG. 6 (1)
Check the low number of copies mode in Step 7041 of Figure 6 (2) and select the heater depending on the cover and the number of originals. In this example, there are 5 A4 sheets of transfer paper, so A
Choose a heater with 4 widths. In step 7042, the width adjusting plate is controlled and the cover is conveyed. Step 7043
Then, the cover set flag indicating that the cover has been set in the bookbinding device 2053 is turned on, and this flag information is sent to the copying machine main body via communication. In step 7044, it is checked whether the toe direction is left toe. In this embodiment, the left page is 1-page, so the procedure goes to step 7045.7 The transfer paper that is discarded from the copying machine main body is transferred to the A-number conveyance path 21 in the bookbinding device.

After being reversed at step 4, it is transported to the fourth transport path 2J05. Conversely: In the case of right 1 and ji, is it a single part conveyance path? 103 to the third conveyance path 2104. Step 7046
Then, the angle of the paper feed flapper 2205 is controlled so that the transfer papers that are dropped into the bookbinding machine are lined up in the order of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on. In step 7047, it is checked whether the processing for the number of original sheets has been completed. If the angle control of the paper feed flapper 2205 has not been completed, the process returns to step 7044 and waits for the completion of this control processing. When the angle control of the paper feed flapper 2205 is completed T-4-, the procedure proceeds to step 7048. In step 7048, heat treatment and pressure treatment are performed in the same manner as in multi-copy binding, and then the temperature is lowered to 40 °C. Cool the transfer paper. When the request is completed in step 7049, step 7050
In step 7003, reset each flag and turn on the end flag indicating that the bookbinding operation has been completed.

Next, the cooling process related to the present invention will be explained in detail.

FIG. 9 shows the circuit configuration of the cooling drive system 3013 in FIG.
The timer 5001 activated by 01 generates a drive-on signal while counting a certain period of time after being activated.

When the fan drive circuit 5002 receives the m-motion ON signal, it supplies a fan drive current to rotate the fan 2603 (see the timing chart in FIG. 9).

In this circuit configuration, when the bookbinder 2503 integrates the cover and the transfer paper bundle and heats them, the heating unit 2505 is retracted and the bookbinder bundle is transported to the bus 2602. At this time, the leading edge detection sensor 2601 detects the leading edge of the bound book bundle. The fan drive circuit 500 responds to a one-novel change in the output fg of the tip detection sensor 2601.
2 drives the fan 26o3, and the bundle of bound books being moved on the bus 2604 is forcibly cooled down.

Next, a second embodiment of the cooling drive system will be described. In this example, in order to improve the bookbinding performance and to improve the integration of the transfer paper and the cover, the conveyance of the bundle is stopped at a position where the air blown by the cooling fan is sufficiently exposed to the east of the bookbinder. Next, after the fan is driven until the temperature of the bundle reaches a constant temperature, the bundle is conveyed again to the bookbinder.

FIG. 11 shows a cross-sectional structure of a cooling drive system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Note that the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those shown in FIG. 2, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

The fifth bus 2602 is driven for a certain period of time to transport the east of the 7" 2, 1, 2, and L bookbinders to the cooling bus 21804 (
Step 903 in FIG. 14). After a certain period of time has elapsed, the cooling bus transmission mechanism 2606 stops the conveyance operation of the cooling path 26o4 and stops the east side of the bookbinder at the cooling position (first
Timing T2 in Figure 3. Step 903 in FIG. 14).

The CPIJ 3001 waits for the bundle of bookbinders to reach the set temperature (target temperature) by comparing the temperature detected by the cooling temperature detection sensor 2605 with the set temperature (step 904 in FIG. 14). When the CPll 3001 detects that the east side of the bookbinder has reached the set temperature, the CPU

(Effects of the invention 1) As explained above;:: ,k)I-J',,In the present invention,
A cover coated with heat-melting adhesive on a predetermined portion is stored in a cover storage means, and the recording paper discharged from the image forming recording device and the cover stored in the cover storage means are integrated by a bookbinding means, Since bookbinding is performed by heating, it is possible to perform bookbinding processing in conjunction with an image recording device. Further, since the recording paper and the cover are forcibly cooled by the cooling means after bookbinding, not only the hardening of the adhesive is enhanced, but also the bookbinding process is completed more quickly than natural cooling. moreover,
Since the cooling time of the cooling means is set to a fixed time using a timer, unnecessary power consumption can be avoided. Furthermore, cooling is performed until the temperature detected by the temperature sensor falls to a certain level, which not only stabilizes the adhesion of the adhesive but also prevents the operator from getting burnt by touching the bound Book B paper and cover. Nor.

In addition, by providing a temporary storage means for cooling the recording sheets and covers of the binding section, it is possible to carry out the single-disposal process and the bookbinding process in parallel, so that the bookbinding process for multiple copies can be performed at high speed. be able to,
