Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the labor of copying work and to improve workability by reading out and storing copying information such as the legality/illegality of a copy and copying the required number of sheets of each original described in original paper. CONSTITUTION:When a start switch 18 is depressed, light emitting elements L1-L9 corresponding to 9 document distributing addresses e.g. are emitted by a command from a CPU17 and photodetecting elements S1-S9 read out the legality/illegality of distribution printed out in the original and inputs the read-out result to a CPU17. The CPU17 totalizes the required number of sheets previously fixed on respective distribution addresses at necessary parts and displays 20 the totalized result and then the copying machine continuously copies the required number of sheets. A sorter part 21 in the CPU17 controls a pin control circuit 22 and a pin driving means part 23 to deliver the required number of sheets for each address to be distributed to a prescribed tray and sorts and stores the prescribed number of sheets in the tray. Thus, the copying work is rationalized.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field> The invention relates to a copying machine that automatically sets the number of copies according to the number of copies information written on the manuscript paper, and that can obtain the set number of copies. It is something.

<Prior Art> Conventional copying machines operate the copy start key after setting the number of copies in advance using numerical keys. The operator had to count the number of distribution destinations written on each manuscript and then set the number of copies, which was very complicated.

<Purpose> The present invention has been achieved in view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.
The purpose of this is to read and store information about the number of copies written on the manuscript paper, to automatically set the number of copies according to this memorized content, and to copy the set number of copies. This is very conveniently provided by a copying machine.

<Example> The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a copying machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the main parts thereof. Referring to Figure 1, the main body of lvi, 2 a copy lamp, 3 a reflector, 14 an auxiliary reflector, 15 a first mirror, 6 a first mirror base, 7 a second
A mirror base, an 8id lens, 9 a reflecting mirror, 10 a photosensitive drum, and 11 a transparent document table on which a document 12 is placed. 13 is a light emitting element, 14 is a light receiving element, and a plurality of pairs of light emitting light receiving elements are provided in a straight line at predetermined intervals toward the rear in the figure. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a total of nine light-emitting elements 13, L1 to L9, are arranged in a straight line at regular intervals, and S is similarly arranged beside them.

-S9 light receiving elements 14 are arranged in parallel. These light-emitting elements and light-receiving elements are used together in order to detect the presence or absence of the distribution requirement mark 16 that can be written in the distribution destination entry field 15 of the manuscript 12 (see Figures 3 (a) and (b)) together with the distribution name. One light-emitting element and one light-receiving element form one set, and each set is arranged to correspond to each mark entry field. 1. For example, as shown in the figure, light emitted from light emitting element L1 enters mark entry field A.
They are positioned so that the light from the light emitting element L2 is reflected from the mark entry field B and reaches the light receiving element S2, and the light from the light emitting element L2 is reflected from the mark entry field B and reaches the light receiving element S2.

FIG. 4 is a block circuit diagram, and a more detailed explanation will now be given based on this diagram.

In the figure, 17 is a central processing unit (CPU) for controlling the main body of the copying machine, and in particular, as shown in FIG.
The important and unnecessary data of the mark entry column obtained from 1 to S9 are stored in the memory section of M1 to M according to the distribution brand name.
high) and L (Low) signals. The internal world of this storage unit contributes to the setting of the number of copies and is also used as data for controlling the tray selection pin of the saw, which will be described later. 81 to S9 are light receiving elements;
18 is a copy scooter key, 119 is a light emitting element L1 to L9
The drive IC 120 that operates ii is a multi-copy display unit that displays the number of copies.

21 is a central processing unit (CPU) 22 for sorter control.
Reference numeral 23 indicates a pin control circuit for feeding the copy paper to a predetermined tray, 23 indicates a pin drive mechanism section that drives the pins in accordance with the output of the control circuit, and 24 indicates a detection section that detects the reference position of the pins. As shown in FIG. 6, the number of trays 25 of the sorter is 29, which corresponds to the number of distribution locations listed in the distribution destination column of the document 12, and the number of trays 25 for each tray 2 is at least 29.
5 has the name of the distribution destination + riJ attached.

According to a copying machine with such a configuration, Vr
In this case, as shown in the operation flowchart of FIG. 7, when the copy start switch 18 is turned on, the light emitting element is
9 lights up, and the number of marks 16 in each mark entry field in the distribution destination entry field 15 of the original 12 corresponds to the light receiving elements 81 to S9.
The data is stored as H and L signals in each memory area M1 to M9 of the storage section (see FIG. 5).

Thereafter, the CPU 17 executes each memory area M1 to M1 of the storage section.
The H signal of M9 is counted, the counted value is set as the number of copies, and at the same time, the number of copies is digitally displayed on the display section 20. Then, multi-copying is performed for the set number of sheets.

In this way, enter the distribution destination of the manuscript 12. If you write the distribution required mark 16 with a pencil or the like next to the distribution name that is actually to be distributed from among the distribution names listed in FD 15, the number of copies per copy will be automatically set and the number of copies will be distributed accordingly. You can get a copy.

Next, the operation when the above-mentioned soak is connected to this copying machine will be explained based on the operation flowchart shown in FIG.

The operation from turning on the copy start switch 18 to displaying the number of copies on the multi-display unit 20 is the same as that described in flowchart 1 of FIG. 7, but the operations after this are different. .

That is, first determine whether the data in memory area M1 is H or L (copy required or not), and if H (copy required), select tray 25 corresponding to this memory area M or distribution name. It is determined whether or not the pins of the sorter have been driven as desired (a2). And still that pin 1
If the pivoting is not completed, select the corresponding tray 24 (in this case, the topmost tray labeled General Affairs in Fig. 6) using the pin drive a), then start copying (
a4) Deliver the resulting copy to the selected tray. Thereafter, in step a5, it is determined whether the number of copies so far has reached the set number, and if the number has not been reached, the process returns to step a1.

In this way, after sending a copy to the corresponding tray according to the data that needs to be copied in the memory area M1, step a1. The process proceeds to step a5 via a2. Here, as described in tri niJ, the data in memory area M2 is
If it is H, check the bottle instruction in step a6, and if the bottle instruction has not been completed yet, proceed to step a.
At step 7, the corresponding tray (in this case, the tray labeled ``accounting'' in the second row in FIG. 6) is selected, and the copy is sent to that tray, passing through step a5 and returning to step a1.

Thereafter, the data in memory areas M3 to M are sequentially determined in the same way, and the data of H is copied and sent to the corresponding tray.

Therefore, for example, when the document 12 shown in FIG. 3A is copied, one copy is sent to each of the first, third, fourth, fifth and ninth trays 25.

According to this configuration, even if the manuscripts have different numbers of copies and different destinations as shown in Figures 3 (a) and (b), the number of copies to be distributed will be copied, and each destination will be copied to a designated tray. They are sorted and sent out,
There is no need for the operator to sort each copy after copying, as was the case in the past.

In addition, if you enter the required number of copies in the mark entry column instead of a mark and press K to read this, you can send the required number of copies to each distribution destination's tray. In fact, if you use a red tint as the light-receiving element 14, you can use a seal or stamp instead of writing in the square 16. Furthermore, in addition to the information on the number of copies, information regarding the reduction ratio of copying may be written in the mark entry (Jl) so that the copy act can be performed at that reduction ratio.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the light emitting element 13 and the light receiving element 1
An opening/closing cover 27 may be provided on the part of the document table 11 corresponding to the number information recognition section 4, so that the placement locations of documents with the distribution destination entry field 15 and documents without the distribution destination entry field 15 may be changed. In this case, by interlocking a switch on the opening/closing cover 26 and shifting the start timing of copying when the cover 26 is opened and closed, it is possible to prevent incorrect recognition of the number of sheets. The location of the distribution destination entry field can be displayed using silk printing or the like.

<Effects> As described above, in the copying machine of the present invention, the number of copies is automatically set according to the number of copies information written on the manuscript paper, and the set number of copies can be obtained. This eliminates the trouble of setting the number of copies each time, making it possible to provide a very convenient copying machine.
