Next, the operation will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing a program which the logical operation element 4 of the print card 3 calculates on the basis of the information of the first counter 5 and the second counter 6, and P _{1 to} P _{5 in the} drawing show respective steps of the flow. ing. FIG. 7 is a timing chart showing the operating states of the first and second light receiving sensors 1 and 2 and the first and second counters 5 and 6, and the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 based on FIG. The specific contents of will be explained.

First, at P ₁ , it is determined whether or not the first light receiving sensor 1 has received light, and when light is being received, at P ₂ , the count of the second counter 6 is returned to the initial state, that is, reset and returns to P ₁ . First
Returning to P ₃ again when not received to determine whether the second light receiving sensor 2 P ₃ are received when the light-receiving sensor 1 is not received, when it is received, the process proceeds to P _4. At P ₄ , while continuing to count the second counter 6, 1 is added to the previous count value of the second counter 6, and P ₅
Then, the count value of the second counter 6 is displayed as a number on the display element 7, and this program ends. This program is
It returns from P ₅ to P ₁ again and is repeatedly executed.

That is, in FIG. 4, when the pressure plate 13 of the copying machine 9 is opened and the original 12 is removed from the contact glass 11, the first light receiving sensor 1 receives the light in the room and is shown in FIG. Then, the second counter 6 is reset. Next, in FIG. 4, when the next original 12 to be copied is placed on the contact glass 11 while covering the print card 3 and the pressure plate 13 is closed again, the light reception of the first light receiving sensor 1 is cut off and the operation shown in FIG. In the middle (b), the signal of the first light receiving sensor 1 is stopped, and accordingly, the first counting of the first counter 5 is performed. In this state, the copying machine 9 is operated to copy the original 12, but since the second counter 6 is reset in step P ₂ in FIG. 6, a display element for displaying the count value of the second counter 6 is displayed. The numeral 7 indicates an initial value, that is, "1", and the copy of the original 12 is such that the numeral "1" as information such as the number of pages or the number is copied together with the image of the original 12. The second light receiving sensor 2 receives the exposure of the light source of the copying machine 9 in accordance with the copying of the original 12, and outputs a signal between (c) to (d) in FIG. 7, and the second signal is output based on the signal. The counter 6 continues counting, adds "1" to the initial value and outputs a signal to the display element 7 in (c) in the figure, and the display element 7 adds "1" to the above-mentioned initial value "1". The displayed number, that is, "2" is displayed. When the original 12 is copied again without replacement, the number "2" as the information such as the number of pages or the number is included in this copy.
Is printed. Next, when the third copy is performed in (e) in FIG. 7, the number "3" is printed on the copy by the same procedure, and this operation is continued until the original 12 is replaced and copied. A number indicating the order of copying is printed on the copy of the same original 12 on the copy. Then, in FIG. 7F, the above-mentioned printing is continued until the original 12 is replaced and the second counter 6 is reset, and the copy of the original 12 replaced in FIG. The same printing is performed by resetting the 2 counter 6. That is, the logical operation element 4 of the print card 3 performs a logical operation based on the information of the first and second counters 5 and 6 and continues counting of the second counter 6 after the counting of the first counter 5 until the next counting. In addition to outputting the signal to the display element 7 every time the second counter 6 counts, the count value of the second counter 6 is displayed on the display element 7, and the second counter 6 is reset every time the first counter 5 counts. . Therefore, no matter how many originals 12 are present, the second counter 6 of the print card 3 is reset every time the originals 12 are replaced, so that the copies of each original 12 are printed with the same procedure numbers.
Of course, even when 12 is continuously and automatically fed by the sorter of the copying machine 9, the same printing is performed using the printing card 3. Note that FIG. 8 shows an image of a copy printed by the print card 3 of this embodiment.

Thus, in this embodiment, the original 12
