Embodiments of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an example of a copying machine to which the present invention is applicable, and its structure and operation will be explained.

The surface of the drum 10 is made of a three-layer seamless photoconductor using a CDS photoconductor, and is rotatably supported on a shaft, and is moved in the direction of the arrow by the main Tanabata 21, which is activated when the copy key is turned on. Start rotating.

When the drum 1 rotates for a predetermined period and the control processing (preprocessing) is completed, the original placed on the original platen glass 36 is illuminated by the illumination lamp 2 integrated with the first scanning mirror 24.
The reflected light is scanned by the first scanning mirror 24 and the second scanning mirror 25.
4 and the second scanning mirror 25 move at a speed ratio of 1:π, so that the document is scanned while the optical path length in front of the lens 30 is always kept constant.

The reflected light image passes through the lens 30, the third mirror 26, and the fourth mirror 27, and then forms an image on the drum 1 at the exposure section.

One drum, the pre-exposure lamp 8 and the pre-static charger 2 remove static electricity at the same time, and then the charger 3 charges the corona band i! (For example, +). Thereafter, the image irradiated by the illumination lamp 23 is exposed to light at the exposure section of the drum IFi.

At the same time, a secondary charger 4 performs corona charge removal with a polarity opposite to AC or - (for example -), and then a high-contrast electrostatic latent image is formed on the drum 1 by uniform surface exposure using a full-surface exposure lamp 9. Form. The electrostatic latent image d1 on the photosensitive drum 1 is then developed by the developing roller of the developer g# device 7 and visualized as a toner image, and the toner image is transferred by the transfer charger 5.

The transfer paper in the upper cassette 13 or the lower cassette 14 is fed into the machine by the paper feed roller 11 or 12, and is sent in the direction of the photosensitive drum 1 with accurate timing by the register roller 15, so that the leading edge of the latent image and the paper can be aligned with the tip of the transfer section.

Next, while the transfer paper flows between the transfer charger 5 and the drum 1, the toner image on the drum 1 is transferred onto the transfer paper.

After the transfer is completed, the transfer paper is separated from the drum 1 by the separation belt, guided to the fixing rollers 32 and 33 by the conveyor belt 17 via the paper detection sensor 16, where it is finely fixed by heating, and then the paper is detected by the discharge roller 42. It is discharged to the tray 47 via the sensor 18.

Also, 29 is a conveyance fan for reliably conveying the transfer paper.After the fixing is completed, the fixing roller is cleaned by the lifter 20. Also, after powder copying, the drum II/i continues to rotate and is moved by the cleaning roller. The toner surface is cleaned and collected by a cleaning device @6 composed of an elastic blade and an elastic blade, and the collected toner is collected in a discharge toner device 43 through a pipe 45 and proceeds to the next cycle.

Figures 4-a, 4-b, and 4-a are general flowcharts of the microcomputer program in the timepiece controller 56. Figure 5 is a general flow chart of the program of the microcomputer in the clock controller 56. General 70 - This is a list of flag settings and reset conditions used in the chart.

Next, referring to Figures 2, 3, and 5, Figures 4-a~
The general flowchart shown in FIG. 4-a will be explained.

Plug 51. is inserted into a power outlet or back, 5. When the power supply 53 is connected to the clock controller 56, the microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as microcomputer) in the clock controller 56 starts operating, and the fourth
-5 aid ~ 4- Execute the program as shown in the flowchart in Figure a. First, in step 1 in Fig. 4-a, the RAM in the clock controller 56 is initialized, the display on the operation section (A) 58 is set to the eLOcK mode display, and the line is set to display oo:00 on the clock display. L2
Data is output to the display driver 57 throughout.

Furthermore, the count number of the microcomputer internal timer in the clock controller 56 is set in the RAM, and the clock timer is started. After counting up, the internal timer interrupts the microcomputer program of the clock controller 56, and repeatedly updates the clock timer data every minute.

At this stage, the power relay (K1) 61 of the role-playing apparatus has not yet been turned on, so all the displays on the operation section (B) 67 remain off.

Next, the operation when the main switch 127 is turned on and off by manual operation will be described.

(1) When the main switch 127 is turned on by manual operation Following step 1 above, step 2. Step 4. In step 7, it is determined whether the time is a timer-controlled power-on time, power-off time, or power-off notice start time. In this case, since the plug 51 has just been inserted, which model -
Since the time has also been set, proceed to step 9 and check the status of the switch on the operating section (A) 58 and the operating section (B).
Input the status of the numeric key, -105, and clear key 106 on 67 to the clock controller 56 through line L4,
Set it in RAM. Next, in step 10, FLAG (
The state of MAIN ON is determined, but it has not been set yet at this stage, so the process advances to step 12. Step 12. At this point, the key manual data in the RAM is checked, and the main switch 127's 1° (ON') press is determined by 'f41', and the process proceeds to step 13, but at this stage, FLAG (1vlAINON) is not set. Since there is no power supply relay (K1), proceed to step 17 and immediately
) 61 is turned on, and the time it is turned on is stored in RAM. It also sets FLAG (MAINON) to remember that the main switch 127 has been turned on. Furthermore, F.L.A.
Reset G (0NTIΔ・IE). FLAG
(ON TIME) will be explained in section (6) below. Next, in step 18, by checking the key manual data in RAM, it is determined that the main switch 1270'0° (off) is not pressed, and the process proceeds to step 20, where F is pressed.
It is determined whether LAG (OFF'T'IME) is set or not, but since it is not set at this stage, the process proceeds to step 25. In step 25', the status of the switch 128 is determined, and if it is the time set mode, the process proceeds to step 26, and if it is the copy mode, the process proceeds to step 2. Return to 'The following describes the case where the first copy mode is selected.

Step 2. Step 5 Step 4. In step 7, it's a trench edition 5?
is NO, so go to step 9 and return to the operating section (A) 5
8 and the numeric keypad 105 on the operation section (B) 67. Clear key 106 - [Read RA
Data is set in M, but at this stage it is assumed that none of the switches are pressed. Next, the process proceeds to step 10, but at this stage, since FLAG (MAIN ON) is set, it is determined that the power relay (Kl) 61 of the copying machine is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 11, where the connection between the device and controller 65 is determined. To explain the data exchanged between them, the data from the clock controller 56 to the device controller 65 is 10=? -105, the state of the clear key 106 is sent, and the clock controller 56 receives data on various states of the copying machine from the device controller 65.

When the copying device is in the process of copying, or within a predetermined period of time after the copying operation has finished (e.g. during auto clear time)
If you are requesting prohibition of turning off the power in cases such as
Set LAG (01"F INHIBIT) and reset when prohibition is released.0 Next, proceed to step 12 again, but in this case, there is no input of "1" (on) to the main switch 127, so proceed to step 16. Advance FLAG(O
Since it has not yet been set, the process advances to step 18. After step 18, the steps proceed in the same manner as described above, from step 20 to step 25, and when the switch 128 changes to the time set mode, step 2 to step 4. Step 7
While determining whether the time matches, the state of the switch is read in step 9, and the clock controller 56 is read in step 11.
continues to communicate data with the device controller.

Of course, the count of the internal timer of the microcomputer progresses in parallel with the progress of the steps described above, and the time continues to be counted from the initial state of the clock set in step 1, and the clock display 139 is updated every minute.

(2) When the main switch 127 is turned off by manual operation, the "0" (off) input of the main switch 127 is turned to R in step 9 during the steps explained in the first section.
AM, the data is determined in step 18, and the process proceeds to step 19, where the power relay (Kl) 61 is turned off, FLAG (MAINON) is reset, and the fact that the power of the copying machine is turned off is memorized. , step 10. In step 11, data communication with the device controller 15 is prohibited.

Next, the time set mode will be explained.

(3) When setting the time in CLOCK mode,
First, when the switch 128 is switched from the copy mode to the time set mode, the status is read in the subtub 9 and the data is set in the RAM.Then, the program progresses and when it reaches step 25, the mode is determined here. Since it is in the time set mode, the process advances to step 26.

Switch on operation part (5) 58 and operation part (B) 67
If there is no input from the upper numeric keypad 105 and clear key 106, step 26. Stub 28° Step 30.
Step 32. Since all the judgments in step 334 are NO and step 34 is YES, proceed to step 39.
FLAG (CHECK) is judged, but at this stage the trench is not set, so go back to step 2 and repeat the above (3).
) Repeat from the start of section. Also, at this stage, the user uses the numeric keypad 105 to set the time to 12:3.
To explain the case of inputting 0, first press 1, the input will be read in step 9, it will be determined that the data entered on the switch 28 was entered manually using the numeric keypad, the process will proceed to step 29, and 00 will be displayed on the display 139. : Display 01. 2.3°0 is read in the same way, and the display 139
00:12, 01:23° and 12:30 are displayed sequentially. Next, when the user presses the 5TART key 135, the data set in the RAM in step 9 is determined in step 33, and the process proceeds to step 43. In this case, since the CLOCR mode is selected, the process proceeds to step 44. Since the numerical value displayed, that is, the numerical value already set by the user, has reached 4 digits, the process proceeds to step 45, where it is determined whether or not the ON TIME mode is set.However, since the answer is NO, the process proceeds to step 47. Step 47
Then, it is determined whether or not it is the OF'F i'IME mode, but since the answer is No, the process proceeds to step 49 and stores a 4-digit # value in the RAM address indicated by the CLOCK mode display counter. The display counter will be explained in section (4), but in CLOCR mode, it is impossible to set multiple times, so the display counter always remains 0, and the CLOCR
The time data in the RAM address represented by the display counter O in the OCK mode always represents the current time, and the time is continuously added to this data every minute by the internal timer of the microcomputer. Next, the process proceeds to step 50, where the numerical data on the temporary memory for manual numeric keypad operation is cleared.
The time set on the display 139 starts counting as a clock display. Furthermore, FLAG (C) LECK ) is reset, but in CLOCK mode, FLAG (CHE
Since CK) is never set, it will be explained in (5)m. The explanation so far has been about the case where 4-digit numerical data is input, but if only 3-digit j is input and the 5TART key 135 is pressed, in step 44, the numerical data is input as 4-digit Since no input has been made, the process proceeds to step 51, where the 5TART key 135 is pressed.
Since there is a 0 input, proceed to step 50. 0 In this case, step 49 is skipped, so no new time data is set in step 50, and the old time at which counting was continued is displayed on the display 139.

(4) To ONTI 84E or OFF TIME
When setting the power on time or power off time in the mode, l111. when the power is on. Since the setting method for both the power off time and the power off time is the same, only the power on time will be explained. When the user presses the ON TIME mode key 133, the state is read and set in RAM in step 9. Then, in step 30, it is determined that it is the ON TIME mode key, and the process advances to step 31. In step 31, the display 130 of the tiONTIME monitor
is turned on, and the time in charge is displayed on the display 139.

This is to clear the data on the temporary memory for the numeric keypad that was being set in the middle of setting another time, so that the power-on time can be set. Next, similarly to item (3), the numerical data input to the RAM in step 9 is judged in step 28, and in step 29, after being displayed in 4 digits on the clock display 139, the SET
When key 138 is entered, step 32 indicates that it is
Step 44. Proceed to step 45.

In step 45, it is determined whether or not it is ON TIME mode, but in this case it is ON TIME mode, so step 4
Proceed to Step 6, and determine whether the difference between the power off time that has already been set and the power on time data that has been counted this time is T1 or more, and if it is 12 or more, proceed to Step 49, and store the temporary memory for manual numeric keypad operation. During the above power-on time, the designated data is stored in the RAM address indicated by the ONT'IM'E'%-code display counter. However, if there is no power off time that has already been set, proceed to snap 49 unconditionally. In addition, in OFF TIME mode, the above judgment is
Step 47. Step 48 is changed to b1 (it is determined whether there is a difference of 2 or more between the power-on time that has already been set and the power-off time data on the temporary memory for manual numeric keypad input that has been set this time). , the time between power on time and power off time is a certain time T under timer control.
This avoids the inconvenience of the copying machine being turned off immediately after being turned on due to a mistake in setting the "power off time" or "power off time" under timer control.

To explain the display counter here, when storing the power on time or power off time in the order set by the user in the power on time or power off time storage area in RAM, the display counter is assigned to that address. be.

In other words, if three power-on times are set, 1°2.3 of the display counter will be assigned to the set amount, and one set of power-on times will be displayed on the display 139 according to the number of times the CHECK key 136 is pressed. The on time is displayed sequentially.

Therefore, when the fourth power-on time is set, it is stored at the RAM address corresponding to 4 on the display counter.

Next, proceed to step 50, clear the numerical data on the temporary memory for manual numeric keypad operation, and change the mode to cr or OC.
K mode, turn off the display 130, and turn off the display 129.
1, the current time is displayed on the clock display 139. Up to this point, we have described the case where 4 digits of number 4M data have been input, but when up to 3 digits have been input, SET&?
If -138 is pressed, step 44. Step 51
The input of the IT key 138 is invalidated. However, in this case, the three-digit numerical data that has already been input is retained, and it is possible to continue inputting the fourth digit. Also, after entering 3 digits, if you want to clear the previous 3 digits, press the clear key 106, which is determined in step 26, and in step 27, the information on the temporary memory for the numeric keypad, which was manually saved in the trench, will be cleared. The numerical data and other data are cleared, the mode is set to CLOCR mode, the display 130 is turned off, and the display 129f is turned on.

Note that the difference between the llt source on time and the power off time is a certain time T! If the value is less than 1, the numerical data on the temporary memory for manual numeric keypad operation is not cleared and the mode is not set to CLOCK mode, so the display 130 remains lit.

Therefore, when setting the power on time or power off time, the user can determine whether he or she has set the timer at the correct time by looking at the CLOCK mode display 129 or the clock display.

(5) Set power on time (or power off time)
+tI) is set to a certain H level and when it is canceled, both the ON'r1ME mode and the OFF TIME mode are the same, so only the ON TIME mode will be explained. .

When the ON TIME mode key 133 is pressed, the data is read in aK step 9, same as in item (4), and set in the RAM. Next, it is determined in step 30, and in step 31, the ON
The TIME mode display 130 is lit and the time is displayed on the -m clock display 139. Next, CHEC
When the KG 13 key is pressed, a determination is made in step 35 and the process proceeds to step 36. In step 36, FLAG(CH
ECK). From now on, FLAG (CHECK
) will be remembered in ON TIME mode until it is reset. At the same time, the numerical data in the temporary memory for manual operation of the numeric keypad is cleared, and the numerical data is cleared when the time is in the middle of setting in the same mode (in this case, ON TIME mode). Furthermore,
Increment the display counter. Display counter is C
When the ICK key 136 is pressed for the first time, it is 0 in the state after reset, so it becomes 1 here. Next, in step 37, if the data in the RAM 11 corresponding to display counter 1 has been set, the process advances to step 39, and the FL
Determine whether AG (CHECK) is set or not, and if it is a check in ON TIME mode. If FLAG (CHICCK) is in a reset state and it is not a check in ON TIME mode, step Returning to step 2, in this case, immediately after the CHECK key 136 is pressed, FLAG (CHECK) is being set, so proceed to step 40 and display the data at the corresponding RAM address on the display counter IK, that is, the set power-on time on the clock display. 139 and proceed to step 41.Step 4
In step 1, it is determined whether or not the CANCEL key 137 has been pressed, but since it has not been pressed at this stage, the process returns to step 2 and the next CHECK key input is read.

If the user does not have the power to press the CHECK key, it is determined No in step 35, and the process proceeds to steps 39 and 40, and the data in the RAM zone corresponding to 1 on the display counter is displayed on the clock display 139. continue. Next, when the user inputs the CHECK key 136 again, the step 35 and step 36 increment the display counter 1-12, and the data is set in the RAM address corresponding to the display counter 2 in step 37. If it is set, step 39. Proceeding to step 40, the data in the RAM address corresponding to the clothing counter 2, that is, the second set power-on time is displayed on the clock display 139. If the user repeats the same operation N times and wants to cancel the Nth set power-on time, press the CANCEL key 1.
37, the input of the CANCEL key 137 is determined in step 41, and the process proceeds to step 42, where the display counter (N+1) is sent to the RAM address corresponding to the display counter N.
Shift the data of the R A M address corresponding to &C
At (N+1), the data of (N+2) is sequentially shifted and the set power-on time in the RAM address corresponding to display counter N is canceled. Furthermore, CLOC the mode.
The K mode is set, the display 130 is turned off, the display 129 is turned on, and the current time is displayed on the clock display 139. In addition, the display counter is set to 7) t, FL
Reset AG (CHECK) and return to step 2 to read the next switch input.

In the above explanation, if it is determined in step 37 that "DE1" is not set in the RAM address corresponding to the display counter M, the process proceeds to step 38, sets the display counter to 1, and proceeds to step 39. This allows the user to repeatedly check the set power-on time on the clock display 139 each time the user presses the C)iEcK key 136. Also, at the first time, if no data is set in the RAM address corresponding to the redundancy display counter 1, and if no redundancy power-on time is set, the display will be blank. .

Father, during the operation of either (4) or (5) above, the STA
By inputting the R'r key 135, the mode being executed as determined in step 33 or step 51 is terminated.
It enters the CLOCK mode, turns on the display 129, displays the current time on the clock display, and prepares for reading the next switch input. Next, we will explain the operation of each mode set (above). □ (6) When the current time is the set power-on time.

2 'F! set in step 2! : All of the f source on times are made to match the current time, and
If they match, proceed to step 3 and FT, AG (O
NTIME). Then, in step 16, the state of FLAG (ONTI8 to 'E) is determined and set, so proceed to step 17 and perform the same operation as turning on the main switch 127 manually as shown in item (1). and reset FLAG (ON TIME).

(7) When the current time is the set IK source off time.

'l! set in step 4! 1. It is determined that all of the source off times match the current time, and if they match, the process proceeds to step 5. In step 5, FLAG
If the state of (OFF ALARM') is determined and the power off due to timer opening is not prohibited by the user through the operation in item (8) (described later), proceed to step 6 and set FLAG (OFF TIME). do. Then in step 20 ite FLAG (OF
The state of F'rIME') is determined, and since it is being set, the process advances to step 21. In step 21, FLAG
(Judge the state of OFF INT (IBI'r) and if it is being set, go from step 25 to step 2.
Delay power off until G (OFF INHIBIT) is reset.

That is, in the data communication with the device controller 65 in step 11 described in section (1), while the device controller 65 prohibits power off, the power off by timer control is delayed. - When the power off prohibition request from the device controller 65 is released, the process proceeds to step 22. In step 22, it is determined whether or not a certain predetermined time 18 has elapsed since the power was turned on, and if it is within T1, the process proceeds to step 24. Advance power relay (K1) 61 e O
FLAG (OFF TIM)
E) only, and cancel the timer-controlled power off. This is done by comparing the current time with the power-on time data stored in the RAM in step 17. This solves the problem of the user manually turning off the power of copying machine f# using this button, and then the power being turned off by timer control before the Samurai user who turns it on 17 starts using it. Also, if it is not within time 19, step 2
Proceed to step 3 and turn off the main switch 127 manually? lf, turn off source relay (K 1 ) 61,
Reset FLAG (MAIN ON) and then proceed to step 24 to reset Ii'LAG (OFF TIME).
Reset and end the operation.

(8) Operation of the timer to indicate that the N source off time is approaching, and when canceling the timer-based power off.

In step 7, it is determined whether the current time is before each of all the set power off times, and if they match, the process goes to s'rgp s and powers up.
ROI"F ALARM display 140 is turned on, 1i'L
Set AG (OFF AT, AR~1). This allows the user to know that the power off time for the machine is approaching due to timer control. π is possible. In this case, if the user wishes to continue the copying process, he or she manually presses the main switch 127 at 11'' (ON), and the program proceeds through step 12 and step 13, and then in step 14, the program proceeds to step 14. , A ('T(OFF A
LARM) status is determined (in this case, POWER
Since OFF ALARMfi is being displayed and it is set while the power is off, proceed to step 15.O In step 15, in order to skip the data of the next scheduled power off time, FLAG (OFF ALARM) is reset, and then the POWER OFF ALARM is displayed. 140 is turned off. As a result, even if the next set power off time matches the current time and YES is determined in step 4, FLAG(OF'F ALAR
It is determined that the state of ~1) is being reset, and the process does not proceed to step 6, and FLAG (OFF TIME) is not set. Therefore, it is strange to press the main switch 127 even when underwater while the POWER OFF ALARM is displayed, and the power does not have to be turned off by the timer.

In this embodiment, the POWEROFF ALARM display 140 may be displayed with sound.

-1: In section (4), when the power is on: j: 8 and 1! We made the times 1 the same when the power source is off, but there is no need to make them the same all the time. In addition, in paragraph (8), POWE
r% when performing ROF'F ALARM display? The time Itil is T and 17 as in (4), but there is no need to limit it to this.

In this implementation example 1, the setting of the power on/off time or time was described, but the present invention can also be applied to the setting of the time or time for automatic clearing of the sheet V value. be.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, reservation control such as turning on/off the power supply etc. can be easily performed using the operation panel of the copying apparatus. In addition, by inputting the number of copies, the percentage
Since the on/off time or time of the L source, etc. can be set, unnecessary input means are not necessary.

When the copying device is copying to the server and after the copying operation is completed, it is possible to delay 1:11 when the power is turned off by timer control (for example, during auto clear). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the power from being suddenly turned off due to the timer III control during copy work.Therefore, the user has no choice but to make a copy again.
＋Kaburekuru. Since the power is not turned off or the like within a predetermined time after the copying operation is completed, the user can easily replace the original and make a new copy. In addition, after turning on the power manually, it is prohibited to turn off the power by a timer within a predetermined time, so before the user manually turns on the main switch and starts copying, It is possible to prevent inconveniences such as when the power is turned off.

Furthermore, according to Honjitsu QJ, not only can a timer notify the user that the power off time is approaching, but if the user wants to continue using the copying machine, the user can turn on the main switch while the power off notice is displayed. Accordingly, it is possible to prohibit power off, etc. using a timer. Therefore, even when the IT power off time approaches, the user can refuse to continue using the copying machine by simply cleaning the machine.

According to this embodiment, if the time that the power source, etc. is on or the time that the power source, etc. is turned off is shorter than a predetermined time, setting of the power off time, etc. is prohibited when the power source is turned on. This prevents troubles such as the power being turned on and then being turned off immediately due to the user setting the wrong time.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the power-on time etc. by a timer, etc.
Since it is possible to set a plurality of power off times, etc., the usage time of the copying machine can be freely set according to the work. Moreover, since the set time is the same as when the power is turned on, the power off time, etc. can be checked sequentially with simple key operations, so the time set by Sennin can be easily checked. Further, since the 'rjL source on time, power off time, etc. can be displayed on the clock display, extra space is not required.

Therefore, the user can use the image reproduction device without being confused by various troubles (for example, the power turns off during a copy operation) associated with on/off reservations, etc. Alternatively, it is possible to avoid wasting time due to resetting the reservation time.
