Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an additional information recording device, and more particularly to an additional information recording device capable of recording, for example, a date and the like together with a document image.

[Prior art]

Generally, in companies, etc., it is common practice to make multiple copies of one manuscript and distribute them to related departments, and it is not necessary to write on the copies the date and time of distribution, the source of distribution, the distribution destination, etc. Usually done.

The additional information to be written on the copy is as follows:
In addition to the date, time and distribution source mentioned above, ID number, direction information, and if you copied a clipping from a newspaper or magazine, write in which article the article was published in, or if there are multiple manuscripts. If the number of copies is multiple, it is customary to number them serially.

However, writing the various additional information mentioned above into each manuscript is a very complicated task, and
For example, when there are multiple manuscripts, filling in each manuscript is not only a tedious task, but also has the drawback of causing errors.

In order to eliminate this drawback, in the past, a printing device was installed to print on the copied image, or a liquid crystal display section was installed on the platen glass or document holding drum, and the displayed contents of the liquid crystal display section were printed on the copied image. Display devices have been proposed, but those equipped with a printing device have the disadvantage of increasing the overall size, and those equipped with a liquid crystal display on the platen glass or document carrying drum have been proposed. In this case, it is necessary to provide a separate key for displaying the display on the liquid crystal display, which has the drawback that the entire device is very expensive.Furthermore, when displaying on the display, the Additional information is entered while monitoring which characters should be displayed in which positions, and the cursor is moved to the possible input positions to make it clearer. When inputting information on the display section in a different order from the normal input order, additional information can be input at any desired position on the display section by operating a cursor movement key. Therefore, the above-mentioned drawbacks have become more and more serious.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional ones as described above, and uses the operation panel of an electrophotographic copying device as a key for inputting additional information, thereby inputting monthly information from the keys on the operation panel. By writing the additional information entered using the keys on the original when copying the original into the copied image together with the original, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of writing additional information into the original one by one, and to make the entire system smaller. An object of the present invention is to provide an additional information recording device that can perform the following operations.

[Structure of the invention]

This invention records additional information such as "day" and "day" when copying manuscript information. , the cursor indicating the input position on the additional information display section can be moved using a density setting key of the input means for copying operation.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

An exposure lamp 4 is provided inside the upper part of the main body 1 to irradiate light onto the lower surface of the document glass table 2, and the light reflected from the document irradiated by the exposure lamp 4 is transmitted to the exposure section 7 via a group of reflectors 23. , and a lens group 24 movable in the horizontal direction (in the direction of the arrow), and a drum-shaped photosensitive drum 5 serving as an image carrier is rotatably provided in the center.
A charging device 6 facing the photosensitive drum 5 is provided near the top of the photosensitive drum 5, and an exposing section 7, a developing device 8, a transfer device 9, and a separating device 7 are provided in front of the charging device 6 in the rotational direction of the photosensitive drum 5. A device 10, a static eliminator 11, and a cleaning device 12 are each arranged close to and facing the photoreceptor drum 5.

A cassette case 13 is removably installed on one side of the inner lower part of the main body 1, and when the cassette case 13 is inserted, there is a feeder that comes into contact with the top surface of the uppermost sheet of a stack of sheets. A paper roller 14 is provided,
Then, between the vicinity of the paper feed roller 14 and the vicinity of the transfer device 9, the paper in the cassette case 13 is transferred to the transfer device 9.
A paper feed path 15 for general feeding is provided.

A portion of the guide plate constituting the paper feed path 15 is cut out, and a pair of upper and lower registration rollers 16 are disposed in the cutout portion.

A fixing device 19 is provided on the other side of the lower part of the interior of the main body 1, and a paper conveyance path 20 is provided between the fixing device 19 and the portion 811 device 10 provided near the photosensitive drum 5.
A paper discharge section 22 is provided on the opposite side of the conveyance path 2° of the fixing device, and a paper discharge tray 22 is provided outside of the paper discharge section 2.

A scale plate 25 is placed on the left end of the original glass stand 2 of the electrophotographic copying apparatus configured as described above, and a liquid crystal display is disposed between the scale plate 25 and the original glass stand 2. A display section 26 is provided.

The liquid crystal display section 26 is connected to a central processing unit (CPU) as shown in FIG. An operation panel 58 of the electrophotographic copying apparatus that causes the liquid crystal display section 26 to display information is connected thereto.

When obtaining a copied image using the electrophotographic copying apparatus configured as described above, an original is first placed on the upper surface of the original glass stand 2. In this case, the edge of the document is brought into contact with the scale plate 25 to set the document at a proper placement position, and then the document is covered with the platen cover 3 and the operation panel 58 is operated.

This operation panel 58 is as shown in FIG.
When the number of copies is selected using the numeric keypad 70, the selected number is displayed on the set number of copies display LED 69. Also 68
is the auto mode key, and when pressed, the mechanism (APS) detects the original size and automatically determines which size paper to feed, and automatically determines the original density and adjusts the copy density. A mechanism (EE mechanism) for setting is operated, and a cassette selection key 66 and a density setting key 67 are provided for manually performing these settings.

Further, 65 is a variable magnification setting key for changing the size of a copy image relative to the original, 64 is a sorter selection key, and 63
72 is a copy start key, and 71 is a stop clear key.

Furthermore, a plurality of other groups of keys are added to the operation panel 58, and these +a functions will be described later, but they are a character input key 59, a cent key 60, a mode switching key 61, and a print key 62. .

Then, by turning on the numeric keypad 70 and auto mode key 68 and then turning on the copy start key 72, the copying operation is started, the photosensitive drum 5 starts rotating, and the charging device 6 is also started, and the photosensitive drum 5 Electrification is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the At the same time, the paper feed roller 14 also starts rotating, and the uppermost paper among the papers in the cassette case 13 is conveyed through the paper feed path 15, and when this paper reaches the registration roller 16, the micro It is detected by a detection member (not shown) such as a switch and stops at that position.

At the same time that the paper reaches the registration rollers 16, the exposure lamp 4 turns on and illuminates the lower surface of the original glass table 2, and the exposure optical system starts moving, forming an electrostatic latent image corresponding to the original image. It is formed on the circumferential surface of the photoreceptor drum 5.

Thereafter, as the photoreceptor drum 5 rotates, the electrostatic latent image is developed by a developing device 8 to become a toner image and positioned opposite to a transfer device 9.

On the other hand, the paper is conveyed through the paper feed path 15 by the activation of the registration roller 16 to a position facing the transfer device 9, so that the toner image on the outer peripheral surface of the photoreceptor drum 5 is transferred to the paper by the transfer device 9. After being separated by the separation device 10, the paper is conveyed to the fixing device 19 via the conveyance path 20, where it is fixed and discharged onto the paper discharge tray 22.

Further, the photoreceptor drum 5 is cleaned by the static eliminator 11 and the cleaning device 12, and one stroke is completed.
And the charging device 6 stops operating.

In an electrophotographic copying apparatus that performs the above-mentioned operations for a set number of copies, various additional information is written on the copied images in the following manner.

First, when the print key 62 of the operation panel 58 is pressed, the central processing unit (CPU) enters a state in which additional information is written on a normal copy image, that is, a state is displayed on the display section 26.

As a result, a reduction mode is entered in order to write additional information on a part of the copy image, and in this case, the appropriate reduction ratio is about 2%, and the magnification is Xo, 9B.

With this magnification, the size will not change much from the original manuscript, and moreover, you will have enough space to write additional information.

As an example of this reduction, if a 2% reduction is included in the general magnification, ×1.0 becomes Xo, 98, and Xo, 81 becomes ×0°7.
9 is Xo, 71 is Xo, 69 is Xl, 24 is Xl,
It can be made to be 22. The method of moving the lens group 24 to this reduction ratio is to use a pulse motor, and by providing a home position sensor (for example, Xl, O) and controlling the morph with the number of pulses from there, an arbitrary magnification can be achieved. The position of the lens group can be moved.

In addition to the method of automatically reducing the size as described above, for example, when the print key 62 is pressed, feeding the registration roller 16 faster to advance the paper feed timing may be effective if the transfer paper is larger than the original. be.

Then, press the print key 62 on the operation panel 58, and then input additional information from the keys on the operation panel 58 to display it on the display section 26, or use a card on which additional information, which will be described later, is recorded. Whether or not to display on the display section 26 is selected by turning the character entry key 59 ON or OFF.

Therefore, when the character input key 59 is turned on, the character input mode is selected, and since this character input mode is further divided into a katakana mode and an alphabet mode, for example, the katakana mode is selected by the mode switching key 61. In this case, two pilot lamps 73 and 74 are provided above the mode switching key 61, and when in Katakana mode, one of the pilot lamps lights up, and when the mode switching key 61 is pressed again, Katakana mode is activated. At the same time as switching to alphabet mode,
One of the pilot lamps is turned off and the other pilot lamp is turned on, and by the blinking of the pilot lamps 73 and 74, it is possible to know which mode the vehicle is in.

In katakana mode, input is performed using the following method.

First, a character is selected using the numeric keypad 70 according to the address in the code table shown in FIG. For example, 4 on the numeric keypad 70,
If you input 2, this 4.2 will display the set number of sheets LED 69.
will be displayed, and after this, if you press the set gee 60, this 4,
The address corresponding to 2, ie, "S" is input and displayed on the display section 26 (FIG. 9(a)). Similarly, 2.0
And when the set key 60 is turned on, "tsu" (Fig. 9 (bl)
), and when 2, 6 and set key 60 are turned on, "MU" is turned on (FIG. 9, FC+>, and 0.1 and cent key 60 are turned on.
When the button is turned on, "force" is input (FIG. 9(d)), and the display section 26 displays "(j"tsu""mu""force").

Furthermore, before the set key 60 is turned on, a cursor 75 is located at the bottom of the display section 26;
A display corresponding to the input is displayed in the upper row where is located. Furthermore, when erasing the upper row of characters where the cursor 75 was located, the stop clear key 71 may be turned on.

The cursor 75 is moved to adjacent display positions one by one when the set key 60 is pressed after specifying the address by inputting two numbers as described above. If you want to create a blank, press any one of the density setting keys 67 to move the cursor 75 in the direction of the arrow shown on the surface of the density setting key 67.

That is, in the case shown in this embodiment, when the right one of the density setting keys 67 67a is pressed, the cursor 75 moves to the right in FIG. 9, and when the left one 67b is pressed, the cursor 75 moves to the left. It is supposed to be done.

Further, when switching from the katakana mode to the alpha vent mode, by turning on the mode switching key 61, the mode changes to the alpha head mode and the pi-nisso 1 lamp is switched.

As a result, even in the alpha head mode, input is made according to the address in the code table shown in FIG. 10, similar to the iiJ Katakana mode.

In this case, in Katakana mode and Alphabet mode, the addresses of numbers and various symbols are shared, making it easier to handle them.

In the above embodiment, the character input key 59 is turned on when inputting characters, but multiple keys, for example, 4°7 on the numeric keypad, are turned on at the same time, and the stop clear key 71 is turned on to turn on the character input key 59. A similar function can also be used, in which case multiple keys may be turned on at the same time to enter the normal copy mode.

Furthermore, the priority order between Katakana mode and Alpha vent mode can be determined by turning ON and 0FIr a dip switch (provided on the second printed circuit board).

For example, when the dip switch is ON, priority is given to Katakana mode. Therefore, when the character input mode is selected in this state, the katakana mode can be automatically selected.

Furthermore, the print mode can be forced by turning on the dip inch, thereby eliminating the need for the print key 62. In other words, when the dip switch is turned on, the printer is always in print mode, which prevents the date and publisher from being omitted.

Furthermore, the mode switching key 61 can also be used as, for example, the cassette/7to selection key 66, and the cent key 60 can also be used.
For example, the copy start key 72 can also be used.

Next, when displaying on the display section 26 using the card storing the additional information, first the character entry key 59 is turned off. As a result, only the print key 62 is turned on, and preparation for reading the card is completed.

A card reading device 30 is shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, and the stored contents of the cards are displayed on the display section 26 by simply placing a plurality of cards on a tray. That is, when the card 54 is placed on the tray 39 and the door 49 is closed, both trays 39 and 40 are raised by drive members (not shown), and the upper surface of the card bundle 54 of one tray 39 is placed on the lower surface of the transport heald 34. When it comes into contact, a detection member (not shown) will detect +'+.
The ij drive unit +J stops and stops at that position. The other tray 40 stops at a distance of one card from the transport heald 34.

Next, after setting the number of copies using the numeric keypad 70, press the copy start key 72, and the movable stopper 35 will first lower.
At the same time, the Ill feed belt 34 starts and the tray 39
Transport the upper card. Also, since the movable stopper 36 is in a protruding position, the IM-fed card comes into contact with the movable stopper 36, and at the same time, the detection member 42 detects that the card has reached the upper part of the reading member 41, and the card is transported. When the belt 34 stops, the movable stopper 35 rises to prevent the next card from being fed one step. The detection member 42 is composed of a photoelectric reading element, for example, and detects the white portion at the edge of the card to confirm the presence of the card.

The contents of the card 1a are read into the central processing unit (CPU) by the reading section A41 and displayed on the display section 2G via the driver.

As a result, the contents of the display section reach the photoreceptor drum 5 together with the original image, and an electrostatic latent image corresponding thereto is formed.

When processing of the first card is completed, the movable stopper 36 is lowered, the transport heald 34 is moved, and the first card is moved to the top of the tray 40, which is detected by a detection member (not shown). This time, the tray 39 is raised by the thickness of one card, and the tray 40 is lowered by the thickness of one card, and the second card is moved by the conveyor belt 34 and placed above the reading member 41 in the same manner as before. Located in When the conveyance belt 34 completes feeding the last card, the tray 39 descends to the initial state, and when the ejection of the last card is completed, the tray 40 also descends.

Further, when using only one card instead of using a plurality of cards as described above, the door 49 of the reading device 30
When a card is inserted into the insertion slot 55, the card is positioned on the top surface of the reading member 41. Also, since there is a detection member 43 on the back side in the insertion direction, after the card is read, the drive member moves the conveyor belt 34 to the position. The card is placed on the tray 40.

Note that the central processing unit (CI) U) has a buffer RA'.
Since M is connected, the contents of the display section 26 can also be registered on the card via the card reading device 30 (also used as an f!I-inclusive device).

〔Effect of the invention〕

By configuring this invention as described above, the size of the operation panel can be reduced, so the entire device can be made compact and inexpensive. Since the display can be displayed at any position, for example, in the event of an input error, you can freely change only the part where you made the mistake, which is very efficient.Furthermore, it can be added to conventional devices. It has excellent effects such as:
