Abstract

PURPOSE:To sort sheets of recorded copying paper easily by repeating a copy cycle once more on every copying operation when a partition indication button is operated, and discharging copying paper as partition paper from a paper feeding means to a discharge part. CONSTITUTION:An operation part 1 is provided with the partition indication button for indicating sorting mode wherein copied transfer paper is sorted. When an operator presses a copy indication button after operating the partition indication button, a series of copy cycles is started to take copies as many as a set number and then one sheet of transfer paper is fed automatically from a paper feed cassette other than a paper feed selected by a cassette selection part 4 before the 2nd cycle is entered. This transfer paper is used as the partition paper by irradiating the entire surface of a photosensitive drum by a blank exposure light source to inhibit the formation of an image.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Gisaeng Buntu? The present invention relates to a recording device for a copying machine or a laser beam printer. The sorting of completed recording sheets is related to device-♂1.

Conventional technique i1iI.

Conventionally, sorting devices such as a sorter and a collator have been proposed for sorting copy sheets that have been output from a tJI after being copied in a copying machine or the like. This divine device is configured to sort the copy paper into each number 1'1 by finally feeding it into #i number of bins provided for sorting the copy paper into each 71 yen. However, such an apparatus η requires a bin for sorting copy sheets 411, and therefore has a large structure and occupies a considerable amount of space.

So, l! A 1'1 swing tray was next proposed. This is done by shifting the stack of a'rf papers put out 1-1 to tray 1- (by shifting the Vt position every 1 + i). However, this It had the disadvantage that it had to compose a swinging R-Magic, and the composition of I. Ray (;) was complicated.

- Is there a type of paper that inserts a partition paper into each group ij1 of the force and copying machine Jt?
A special paper insertion slot is used, one by one] The author Kuwa
Insert the paper into [I or 1:ψ] the paper feeder specially configured for 1:ψ and start the copying process from that paper feeder 1"1" This system was constructed so that the paper was fed without cutting, which made the device complicated and forced the manufacturing price to rise.

In view of the drawbacks of the prior art, the eleventh object of the present invention is to:
The recorded members discharged from the main body of the recording apparatus can be sorted by a partition member in a simple and inexpensive manner 1'! ) The 41st minute of the electrified t7.6B material is to provide a device.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. j4-1-ru.

FIG. 1 shows an example of sheet 'j48 to which the present invention is applied,
Here l is the operation section, and the number of copies is set 'Jl, I +

It has various operation keys and table) as shown in Figure 1. In IA, - is either tier paper feed cassette 2 or lower tier paper feed cassette 3, or cassette 7 for selecting the force.
Only the +- selection section 4 is shown. Furthermore, in this example, a partition instruction button 5 for instructing a mode is provided for 1'1 in which sorting of copied transfer sheets is performed.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the internal configuration of the copying machine shown in FIG.

To explain the copying operation of tsubatake, hara 4 ('j+・I・
h1j'! The crow 6) scans the original that has been scolded by the second one using the lamp 7 and the first mirror 8. A second mirror 3. moves the scanned original image at 1/2 the scanning speed of the lamp 7 and mirror 8. Lens 10. The image is projected onto the photosensitive drum 13 via the third mirror 11 and the fourth mirror 12 sequentially.

In the photosensitive I/ram 13, the original image is subjected to a well-known process using a 1B' tube (not shown), etc., and +'i'
fl'ilj,' 1Ft(ψ is formed on the tram surface. Here, in the later development Il culm, I-na() is formed in the non-image area.
In order to avoid unnecessary consumption of toner, the blank exposure light source 14 removes the burden of non-image areas. Thereafter, a toner image is formed by the developing device 15, and after lr, the toner image is transferred to the transfer paper fed by the rotation of the paper feed roller 16 or 17 from the spool selected by the spool selection section 4. do. After that, the transfer paper is sent to the fixing device 19 via the conveyance fKR+8, and the I/toner image is fixed by heat or pressure.The transfer paper after the transfer 71.4 is then transferred to the tray 21]. J, Il will be published.

Next, in the 41st minute of transfer n (which is the gist of the present invention), the operation will be explained.

When the operator desires sorting and operates the finishing finger 71\button 5, and then presses the copy instruction button, the above-described copy cycle is started. -Is it a copy of N? For example, a certain setting>i? When you have finished copying the number of sheets, or when you have finished copying the number of sheets, or when you have finished copying the number of sheets, or when you

The paper feed capacity other than the one selected by the selection section 4 (1) selects the control port for automatically feeding one sheet of paper from the paper feeder. QJ paper is also used as partition paper.

Here, in the present invention, (, 1: !, 1 sheet of paper used as lJ paper is fed through the connecting path in the normal copy cycle, so the original Jj, 6 images are transferred to this partition paper. Color paper may be indistinguishable from copied transfer paper, and color paper may not be fed as IJ paper, so it may be printed on the I/N page.So-called solid black paper. In order to prevent the adverse effects of '°9', the above-mentioned light source for illuminating the non-image area +4i light source for illuminating the entire surface of the photosensitive tram is also used.

decrease.

FIG. 3 shows the operation in the case where there is no original document feeder, or in the case where a normal automatic document feeder is installed, which feeds one document and feeds the next document after copying a set number of sheets. As shown in the figure, when the number of copies of the same original 1 reaches the set number (T1 to T3), (+Kiribokun 5 or press 1)
When it is determined that the mode is selected for sorting (f l1ll'i 74), the entire surface of the photosensitive I/ram surface is exposed (blank sales destination) by the light source 14 (-
r-order T5). Thereafter, paper to be transferred from a cassette not selected by the cassette selecting section 4 is fed as a partition paper (step T6). As a result of -, 4193 sheets of paper are loaded on tray 20J2, and then 4193 sheets of paper are loaded on tray 20J2. It will be sorted into paper.

Figure 4 shows a case equipped with a circulation type automatic document feeder. As shown in Figure \, when a plurality of originals 1 are made one cycle and either -All copies or I. Ray 201 11 are made (D++1jlTll ~ T14), 41 minutes are spent in mode 1.

Next, Figure 5 shows a bonus example of the operation when the paper feeder is medium or when the same paper feeder is configured to feed roll sheets to be used as third sheets. . On the water side, when the number of copies is set, the copy operation will change the customary (number of copies + 1) autumnal equinox roll f paper from the same cassette to 'n:'': lJ, and the last one. Regarding the sheet, blank exposure of the photosensitive tray is carried out over the entire surface, and by this, the rolling paper as the 9J paper is delivered one by one to the !-ray in a blank layer. , a similar configuration can be made when equipped with a circulation-type Hara Jr. A automatic lees removal device (11if).

In the embodiment of the paper storage, we have discussed the case where the transfer IY paper used as the partition paper is fed from the inside of the cassette in the form of blank paper. However, 1. !
Trying to divide Rj &4 or 41! If the transfer paper is the same as the transfer paper and I~ is also the same paper rj, it is not possible to clearly distinguish between the transfer paper and the transfer paper IX by cutting the paper.

In view of this point, if I < 1, the toner should be transferred onto the surface of the paper so that it can be clearly seen that it is paper.
It was designed so that it would look like this.

In the figure, 21 is a drive amplifier, which converts the output level of the computer into power sufficient to operate the lamp and motor.

6. As explained above, according to the present invention, when the sorting mode is selected by pressing the partition finger, 1< button, the following functions are possible: ・Small pieces A copy cycle is performed once every time an operation is completed, and in this copy cycle, the entire surface of the photosensitive drum is irradiated with a blank exposure light source, and the copy paper fed from the paper feeder has an i-nai ψ. He made it so that it would not be formed, and engraved the copy paper made in this way (J) into an image.
It is arranged to be used as a partition paper for sorting the copy paper 'f' and the copy paper 'q' produced by the next series of copying operations.

Therefore, in contrast to the normal copying process 2, li) turning off the electronics, developing 'A: (transferring from the photosensitive tram) ~
It is possible to do this without having to perform separate controls such as preventing copying. ;IJ paper can be fed.

In addition, by blank exposure control, we formed a pattern etc. on the copy paper fed as (+ν) paper so that it could be clearly distinguished from the copy paper which is divided into (1), so that the operator could At a glance, you can tell whether the paper is sorted using partition paper, which is convenient because you can quickly carry out subsequent work.

Furthermore, in the copy cycle in which the paper is fed, such single-light control is used, so I! i (manuscript/1 display stand 1-
Regardless of whether the original is original or not, a sheet of paper with a predetermined pattern etc. formed thereon can always be obtained.
