Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the postprocessing operation of recording papers by ejecting recording papers into bins so that there are empty bins in accordance with original groups and detecting delimiting positions of recording corresponding to original groups on a basis of positions of empty bins. CONSTITUTION:Plural originals 5 are divided to groups I -III by a slip sheet 9 and are piled on an automatic original supply device 2, and the slip sheet 9 are detected to judge group divisions, and copy contents such as a repeat number or the like are changed. A sorter is provided with plural bins 13a-13p. Recording papers are ejected to bins of the sorter so that there is an empty bin between the bin, to which recording papers are ejected for the original group I before division, and the bin, to which recording papers are ejected for the original group II after division, in accordance with detection of the division of original groups based on the slip sheet 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to a method for discharging recording paper in a copying machine equipped with an automatic document feeder and a sorter.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some copying machines are equipped with an automatic document feeder (ADF) and a sorter in order to improve copying operations. In other words, multiple originals are stacked and stacked on the automatic document feeder, transported one by one onto the contact glass, copied as many times as the required number of copies, and the recorded recording paper is sorted into each bin of the sorter. is stored,
This process is repeated for the number of original documents. In this case, in order to be able to process documents continuously even if the documents have different copying conditions such as the number of repeat sheets and copy size, the documents are separated into groups by mounts according to the copying conditions, etc.
When a mount is fed, the document automatic system is configured to detect the mount and determine that it is the end of the document, and change the number of copies to be copied from 3 to 4, for example, to a preset copy content. Some are equipped with a feeding device.

At this time, looking at the sorter, the bins used for each document group are different, and the bins are classified according to the number of repeat sheets of each document group.

However, for operators, it is not possible to immediately know the division of each group by looking at the state of paper ejected from the sorter, and they have to distinguish between each group by checking the number of repeat 1 sheets and comparing them with the originals. Processing of recording paper is troublesome.

Purpose The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a method for discharging recording paper in a copying machine, which can discharge recording paper so that it can be clearly distinguished according to document groups, and can improve processing operability. The purpose is to provide a method.

composition An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, FIG. 1 schematically shows a copying apparatus, in which a +U manuscript body 1 is equipped with an automatic document feeder 2 and a sorter 3. As shown in FIG. Basically, as shown in FIG. 2, this automatic document feeding device 2 feeds a plurality of documents 5 stacked on a document tray 4'2 from the lowest one by a calling roller 6 and then by a separation roller. 7, only one original 5 is sent onto the contacts 1 to glass 8 of the main body 1 of the copying machine. Here, interleaf sheets 9 can be used to divide the originals 5 into groups so that even originals 5 having different numbers of repeat sheets can be processed continuously.

This interleaf 9 has a detection hole 1 at a predetermined position as shown in FIG.
0 is formed, and the setting is such that this interleaf sheet 9 is detected and determined to be a separation between document groups.

On the other hand, the sorter 3 is provided with a plurality of bins 13 for sorting and storing discharged recording sheets 12, as shown in FIG.

In such a configuration, for example, as shown in Figure 2, there are document groups ■, ■, and ■, where manuscript group I has three originals and four repeat sheets, and manuscript group ■ has originals Assuming that the number of sheets is 3 and the number of repeats 1 to 5 is 5, and the number of originals in document group ■ is 1 and the number of repeat sheets is 3, insert paper 9 is placed between document groups I, ■, and ■ to separate them. . Prior to the copy operation, the number of repeat sheets for each document group I, ■, 1■ is 4,
5A/i, 3 sheets are preset on the operation unit. Therefore, when the copying operation is started, the first document of the document group I is fed and conveyed to the contact glass 8, and the copying operation is repeated four times. As a result, the number of copied recording sheets is 4.
The sheets are sorted and discharged to bins 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d in order.

The same applies to the other two originals. When the copying process for the No.jx documents of document group I is completed in this way, the interleaf sheet 9 is fed. This interleaf sheet 9 is detected by the mount detection sensor 11, and as a result, the document group I,
It is determined that it is the end of H, and the number of sheets to be sent to Repeat 1 is changed from 4 to 5 for the preset document group The copying operation is performed in the same manner as in the case of original group (■). In this case, the number of repeats is 5 and 5
Conventionally, the recording paper 12 corresponding to the originals of the original group ① would be placed in the bin 13 following the bins 13a to 13d for the original group Ⅰ before separation.
However, in this embodiment, the paper is not discharged to the bin 13e, but the bin 13e is skipped, and the paper is discharged to the bins 131 to 13.

The same applies to document group 12, and based on the detection of interleaf sheet 9, the recording paper 12 is not ejected to the next bin 13, but is ejected to the bins 13] to l3rl.

In other words, Manuscript Group +3e, 1. 3k, which causes empty bottles.

Due to the presence of such an epidemic bottle, the operator
It is possible to easily know the delimiting portions, such as that the recording paper 12 discharged from 13d to 13d corresponds to the document group (2), which improves the workability of post-processing.

what. The empty pin is not limited to one, but may be a plurality of consecutive bottles.

Effects of the present invention, since the recording paper is discharged into the bin so that an empty bin is created in correspondence with the original croup in a double series,
Based on the position of the empty bin, the operator can easily know the separation position of the recording paper corresponding to the document group, thereby facilitating the post-processing of the recording paper.
