[Conventional technology]

The copy mode (copy magnification, exposure I3 number of copies, copy paper size, etc.) of the copy machine is registered as data in a storage medium device such as an IC card, and the above registered data is stored by connecting the IC card to the copy machine. The copy mode specified by
A method has been proposed in which this is set in a copying machine.

In the above, the copy mode data of the IC card △ is registered using a dedicated data input device such as an edit input ZW.

Alternatively, you can connect the IC card to the copying machine and use the copying machine's I
By operating the C card key, the data of the copy mode set in the copying machine may be registered in the IC card.

Note that the IC card key here refers to a key switch installed on the copying machine side for instructing the transfer of data to the IC card.

] Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, mode data registration is performed by the IC on the copying machine side.
This is done by operating a card key or inputting data from a data input device.

However, the IC card key is an unnecessary switch for users who do not use IC cards. For this reason, it is generally installed as an option.

However, the key switch is added as an option not when the operation panel is manufactured, but generally after it is shipped from the factory. Therefore, the sheets (sheets with the switch layout printed on them) are often reupholstered using Sabisma, and mistakes due to inexperience are likely to occur.

In addition to the key switches closely related to copying operations (key switches that are frequently operated during normal use of the copying machine, such as the copy start key and numeric keypad), the above-mentioned IC If key switches that are used less frequently, such as card keys, are arranged in a concentrated manner, a problem arises in that it is difficult to find key switches that are frequently operated.

In addition, when performing data ML using a data input device, there is a problem in that a data input device, which is a device with poor versatility, is required.

The present invention is intended to solve such problems.

[Means and effects for solving the problems] The present invention includes a main unit that performs image processing, and a data storage medium that is detachable from the main unit, and the data storage medium includes a data storage means; When the input means for instructing access to the data storage means is connected to the main device, when the input means is operated, the data of the image processing mode set in the main device is transferred to the data storage. An image IS processing device characterized in that it has a data management means for registering data in the image IS processing device.

That is, data of the mode set in the main device: i,
After connecting the storage medium to the main unit, the information is registered in the data storage means by operating the input means on the storage medium side.

Therefore, on the main device side, there is no need for input means for instructing access to the data storage means. For this reason,
On the main unit side, identify frequently used key switches.

Furthermore, there is no need for a dedicated data input device for registering data in the storage medium.

In addition, in the embodiment described below, data storage means A1
The input means for commanding the 7th process is realized as a copy mode memory key.

<3> Connection between IC card and copying machine The IC card and copying machine are connected by one of the following two connection modes.

(1) Connection Mode A FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing a case where the IC card 200 and the copying machine are connected with the end of the IC card 200 on the display unit 50 side being the top. IC card 200 in this case
is different from the +C corner shown in FIG.
It is formed at the end on the display section 50 side.

As for the connection mode, as is clear from FIG.

Therefore, in order to flip this vertically, it is necessary to
The c, e, f, and g elements may be turned on as shown in C).

In addition, the numerical value "34" is in the normal state as shown in Figure 12 (B
), the number one value "4" is displayed by the rightmost segment element, and the tenth place value "3" is displayed by the second segment element from the right end.

Therefore, in order to horizontally invert this, Figure 12 (
As shown in Δ), the first-place numerical value "4" may be displayed by the leftmost segment element, and the tenth-place numerical value "3" may be displayed by the second segment element from the leftmost position.

1 is a flowchart showing the processing in step 1.

(1) Main routine: FIG. 13 The control CPU 201 of the copying machine starts processing by connecting the power line.

First, perform the initial settings (5ll), then start the internal timer that defines the execution time of one routine (
313).

Next, Ic card RAM check processing (S15),
C card insertion/removal processing (S17), Total Fubi number counting processing (319), )-Tal check key processing (S21), calculation processing (S23), copy operation processing (3
27) and processes other than the above (S29: other processes) are executed as necessary, and after waiting for the internal timer to end in step 531, the process returns to step S13 and the above processes are repeatedly executed.

Each process will be described below.

(2) Ic card RA M check process Figures 14 to 1
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the IC card RAM checking process.

The IC card RAM check process is a process executed when the IC card and the copying machine are connected to each other (5101; YES), and the status of each bit of the read pit, write bit, and interrupt bit is checked. The following processes are executed depending on the situation.

In addition, in order for the read pit gap and write bit to be 1, the following (Fig. 24; S 1205° Fig. 25:
51307), key 17 of the IC card 200
．． It is assumed that the connection building A (FIG. 7) is able to operate 18 in a connected state.

Further, detection of the connection state between the IC card and the copying machine is performed, for example, by accessing the RAM 550 of the IC card and reading out a bit indicating the state of the key switch 5W22.

(2-i) Lead pit check FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing lead pit check processing.

The read pit of RAM550 of the IC card (see Figure 10) is set (or has been set) to 1.
(5201; YES), on the condition that the copying machine is not in copying operation (S203; YES),
After resetting the read pit of RAM550 to O (S
205), the copy mode (number of copies) stored in the RAM 550;

tX light level, magnification, paper size code: see Figure 10) Read the data and set it on the copying machine (520

(2-ii) Write pit check FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the write pit check process.

If the write bit of the RAM 550 of the IC card (see Figure 1 O) is set to 1 (S301; YE
S) After resetting the write bit in RAM 550 to 0 (8303), the copy mode (number of copies, exposure level, magnification, paper size code) set on the operation panel 70 of the ffl photocopier is changed to the corresponding data in RAM 550. It is written in the area (see FIG. 10) (3305).

<2-ROL) Interrupt bit check FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing interrupt bit check processing.

If the interrupt bit in RAM 550 of the IC card (see Figure 10) is set to 1, (Sit]l:Y
ES), first reset the interrupt bit in the RAM 550 to O (S403), then set the interrupt status flag (
5405). The interrupt status flag is a flag that manages the interrupt copy mode set by the IC card.

Next, it is determined whether or not copying is in progress, and if copying is in progress (S407; YES), copying is interrupted (5409), and the data at the time of interruption (number of copies, number of remaining copies, exposure level) is displayed. , magnification (paper size code),

S) Performs start-up processing of the copying machine.

That is, if the main itR of the copying machine is turned off (S505; YES), the main power is turned on (
5507).

Furthermore, even if the main power source is turned on (S505: NO), if the power saving mode is set (5509: YES), the power saving mode is canceled (5511). For example, power saving measures are aimed at reducing power consumption by turning off the display on the operation panel and maintaining the temperature of the fusing heat roller slightly lower than the operating temperature, and also by turning off the display on the operation panel and maintaining the temperature of the heat roller for fixing slightly lower than the operating temperature. This state is provided so that the copying machine can be started up in a shorter time compared to startup.

On the other hand, the IC card was not set in the copy machine (55
13; YES), if copying is not in progress, then (S
515; YES), if the interrupt flag is set (3517; YES), reset the interrupt flag (3519), and restore the copy mode that was saved in the RAM 206 of the copying machine (5521). ). Thus, for example, if the IC card is removed during execution of a copying operation, the interrupt mode will be canceled after the operation is completed.
