Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to operating devices for copying machines, printers, facsimile machines, and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, image processing devices such as printers, copying machines, and facsimile machines, copying machines, and printers have simply been used to copy original documents so as to faithfully reproduce them. Furthermore, even recent multi-functional copying machines have limited functions such as reducing or enlarging a document at a fixed magnification, automatic document feeding function, automatic collation function, etc. These operations are performed by mechanical control, and due to physical limitations, it can be said that the range of multifunctional copying machines has reached its limit. Therefore, even though it is a copying machine operation device, it lights up the LED corresponding to each key or switch, and displays the setting status of the function corresponding to l to l depending on the setting position of each key or switch. All I had to do was do it. However, recently, image processing apparatuses have been proposed that use photoelectric conversion elements and have various image manipulation functions, image transfer functions, image quality processing functions, and the like. Therefore,
Correspondingly, if an operating section with one-to-one correspondence between keys and functions is used, the device becomes larger and the operation becomes complicated.

Purpose The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an operating device for a copying machine, etc., which is simplified by providing the operating section with a display section and a key to increase the number of vehicles used in addition to the function keys. It is to provide.

Embodiment FIG. 1-1 shows the external appearance of a copying machine and its operating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. This apparatus is basically constructed of two units. League person and printer B. This league and printer are mechanically and functionally separated.
It is designed so that it can be used on its own.

Connections are made using cables, etc. Also, reader A has operating device A.
-1 is provided.

FIGS. 1-2 are structural sectional views of a copying machine which is an embodiment of the present invention. The document is placed face down on the document table glass 903, and its placement reference is on the back left side when viewed from the front. The original is pressed onto the original glass by the original cover 904. The original is illuminated by a fluorescent lamp rung 902,
An optical path is formed so that the reflected light passes through mirrors 905 and 907 and a lens 906 and is focused onto the surface of the CCD 901. And this mirror 907 and mirror 905 are 2
: It moves at a relative speed of 1. This optical unit moves from left to right at a constant speed while applying PLL using a DC servo motor. The moving speed is 180 mm/see on the outward path when irradiating the original.
On the return trip, it is 468 mm/(3). The resolution in this sub-scanning direction is l 6 JlneS/mm.

The document sizes that can be processed are A5 to A3, and the document placement direction is A5. B5. A4 is placed vertically, and B4°A3 is placed horizontally. There are three return positions for the optical unit depending on the document size.

1st point A5. B5. The second point is 220 points from the document reference position for both A4 and B4 (36 points).
At 4+m, the third point 1IiA3 is the same (43
This is at 1,8+m.

Next, regarding the main scanning direction, during main scanning, the maximum width of A4 paper is 297 mm depending on the orientation in which the document is placed. and,
In order to resolve this at 16 pez/-, 4752 (=297 x 16)' bits are required as the number of %COD bits, so this device uses two 2628-bit CCD array sensors and drives them in parallel. . Therefore, 16 I! 1nes / min %180 m+n
/See conditions Next, referring to FIGS. 1-1 and 1-2, an overview of the printer placed under the reader will be explained. The image signal processed by the reader section and made bit serial is sent to the laser scanning optical system unit 9 of the printer.
25. This unit consists of a semiconductor laser, a collimator lens, a rotating polygon mirror, an Fθ lens, and a tilt correction optical system. The image signal from the league is applied to a semiconductor laser for electro-optic conversion, and the diverging laser light is made into parallel light by a collimator lens, and is irradiated onto a polyhedral mirror that rotates at high speed, thereby scanning the laser light onto a photoreceptor 908. . The rotation speed of this polyhedral mirror is 2.
It is being rotated at 60 Orpm. During the scan, there were approximately 400 cods, and the effective image was 297 mm in A4 horizontal size.
It is.

Therefore, the signal frequency applied to the semiconductor laser at this time is approximately 20 i[1z (NRz). Laser light from this unit is incident on photoreceptor 908 via mirror 924.

For example, the photoreceptor 908 is composed of three layers: a conductive layer, a photosensitive layer, and an insulating layer. Therefore, a process component is arranged thereto which allows image formation. 909 is a front static eliminator, 910 is a front static eliminator, 911 is a primary charger,
912 is a secondary charger, 913 is a front exposure lamp, 914
915 is a developing device, 915 is a paper feed cassette, 916 is a paper feed roller, 917 is a paper feed guide, 918 is a registration roller, 9
19 is a transfer charger, 92o is a separation roller, 921 is a conveyance guide, 922 is a fixing device, and 923 is a tray. The speed of the photoreceptor 908 and the conveyance system is the same as the forward path of the reader (18
0Tm/(8). Therefore, the speed when copying using a combination of a reader and a printer is 30 A4 sheets/minute. Further, printers use a separating belt on the front side to separate the copy paper that is in close contact with the photosensitive drum, but because of this, the image of the belt is missing. If a signal is placed on that mountain, it will be developed, and the toner will stain the belt, which will also stain subsequent sheets of paper. At the 8th minute, the video electrical signal of the printout is cut off. Also, if toner adheres to the leading edge of the copy paper, when it is fixed, it will wrap around the fusing roller and cause a jam, so an electric signal must be sent to the reader side to prevent the toner from adhering to the leading edge of the paper. Cutting 0 Also, in the device of this example, the image information is an electrical signal,
Furthermore, since the reader and printer are separated and have independent functions, it is possible to transfer image information between them. When communicating, this device has a communication module attached to the reader side when a reader/printer is set or when only the reader is used alone, and a communication module is attached to the printer side when used as a printer alone. By connecting the lines in a loop, local communication within the premises is possible. When communicating outside the premises, this is made possible by placing a gateway (an interface between the public line and the local network) in the loop. Furthermore, an e-mail system can be configured between the head office building and the branch office building by connecting the network and the copying device unit.

Next, the functions of the copying machine and its operating device according to this embodiment will be explained. In addition to a simple copying function, this device also has a variable magnification function that allows arbitrary enlargement/reduction, an editing function that allows you to extract or delete any part of a document, and a function that automatically detects the size and position of the document. It has various functions such as automatic scaling and editing. These functions for manipulating images of documents are collectively referred to as "image manipulation functions." other,·
In addition to making a copy of the original image read by the connected printer, it also uses CCU (Communication C
011trO/Unit: communication control unit), it is possible to send the original image to another printer. Further, it is also possible to receive a document image sent from another reader to the printer at hand. Such a function is called an "image transfer function." Furthermore, the above-mentioned selected functions can be arbitrarily registered in six preset keys. The registered contents can be specified arbitrarily by the user, and the contents are retained even when the power is turned off. Such a function is called a "preset function." Historically, there is an automatic exposure function that removes the background of a manuscript, and a halftone processing function that outputs images with gradations such as photographs with good reproduction. These are collectively called "image quality processing functions"0
To summarize, there are five image manipulation functions:

Variable magnification functions include equal magnification (100X magnification), fixed magnification (size specified), stepless magnification (height specified 50-200%), x
There is y scaling (independent scaling in the main and sub-scanning directions).

The image reversal function includes original image, negative/positive reversal image.

Editing functions include no editing, white masking, and black masking. However, the latter two automatically switch to auto XY magnification, and other magnification functions cannot be specified. Additionally, there are white frame trimming, black frame trimming, and automatic document position detection. However, here, the magnification, single image inversion, movement, and special magnification functions are linked.

The movement functions include no movement, destination specification, origin movement (cornering), and centering.

Special magnification function: No special magnification specified, magnification O), X
There is a Y variable magnification auto. However, the latter two cannot specify other scaling functions. The movement function and special scaling function are enabled only when the editing functions such as white/black frame trimming and automatic document position detection are specified.

Image transfer functions include local copy (normal copy), transmission (sending original images to other printers via CCt+), and receiving (receiving original images from other readers via CCU). .

Also, the preset functions include registration (memorizing in the preset key) and reading (reading out the stored contents of the preset key). Some preset keys also have a reset function to return to standard mode.

Also, among the image quality processing functions is automatic exposure (AE).

There is halftone processing.

FIG. 2 is a detailed diagram of the operating device A-1 of FIG. 1-1.

This operation section is roughly divided into three blocks.

This is a part of the software keys used by the user to create copy/transmission functions. 201 is the function key (soft key 5
KI-8K6).

202u This is a liquid crystal display for displaying various messages, labels of the function keys 201, and other modes and data. The central block 300 is a preset key part for registering, combining, and re-reading copying and transmitting functions arbitrarily created by the user using the software key part 200. In order to label the preset key part 300 with the name of a function created by the user, it is structurally possible to write a label.

302 is a preset key, and since there are 6 preset keys, the user can register 6 fa functions.
301 is a standard mode (same size reset mode) return key, which is one of the reset keys. Also soft key part 2
00 is structurally removable, and the main CPU can detect whether the soft key part 200 is installed or not using a DIP-8W (not shown). Alternatively, if internal operation is in progress from the peripheral CPU (6 in Figure 6) for liquid crystal driving (to be described later) to the main CPU, it is "1', and the internal operation has finished and the state is waiting for the next command from the main CPU. The main CPU detects that the signal line that conveys the busy flag becomes "1" when there is no peripheral CPU, and confirms that the software key part 200 is not installed. You can also do it.

FIG. 3 shows details of the display 202 and function keys 201. The display 202 uses a 5×7 dot matrix liquid crystal display for 32 characters.

An enlarged view of one character (within the dotted line) in FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, 1 is a 5×7 dot portion of the liquid crystal display for displaying characters, and 2 is a 5×1 dot portion for displaying under par.

Note that 6 is a peripheral CPU for liquid crystal display;
In the figure, it is included in driver 4. As shown in FIG. 6, the driver drives the liquid crystal display 202 in a matrix manner. In other words, there are four drivers including the peripheral CPU 6, and there are 40 lines from each driver in the vertical direction, so there are 160 lines. Lateral direction feral CP
U6's COM, ~COM, 8 out of 16 lines from 6 are used, so there are 8 lines. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a total of 1'60 x 8 lines are used to drive 32 5 x 8 dots (160 x 8 dots) of the liquid crystal display, and the address from the controller 3 is According to the data,
Characters are displayed on the LCD. Note that 7 is a main CPU that performs various controls of the main body of the copying machine, and a description of the main CPU itself will be omitted here because the liquid crystal display will be explained. One embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above.

The display will be briefly explained below.

In FIG. 3, the data displayed on the liquid crystal display 202 is roughly divided into function keys 201 of SKI to SK6.
The key labels, messages to the operator, and input data from the numeric keypad 103 are displayed. Parentheses are added to distinguish between soft key labels and messages, and when an input from the numeric keypad 103 is requested, an under par is blinked.

To distinguish between soft key labels that have been set and those that have not been set, soft key labels that have not been set (unselected) are marked with a question mark after the label, and those that have been set (selected) are marked with an exclamation mark. attach For this purpose, each function has a function setting flag that determines whether it has been set or not.
The controller 3 in FIG. 5 turns on the flag when the function setting is completed.

A detailed explanation of the operating device, including the display mode, will be given below.

FIG. 7-1 shows the display state of the display 202 of the soft key portion 200 when the 'power on' or equal size reset key 301 is pressed.

Of the 32 digits on the liquid crystal display, area a, which is 11 digits from the left, is an editing mode name display area, and one of the characters shown in FIG. 7-2 is always displayed. However, DPAD is DOCTJ
O8ITION is an abbreviation for 0DETECTION (automatic detection of document position). The 5th digit in area b in FIG. 7-1 is an auto display area, and only when automatic scaling is set in the edit mode, "auto" is displayed as shown in FIG. 7-3. The 10th digit in area C is the 7th-digit in the magnification display area.
One of the characters shown in figure 4 will be displayed. Note that the portion bd in FIGS. 7-84 shows an example of the magnification input by the operator. In the display state shown in Figure 7-1 > IA, "E"
When you press SK6 corresponding to "TC", the display status changes to No. 8-1.
It will look like the figure.

By pressing 4 on the soft key 8 corresponding to the display of `` (Step 12-bb in Figure 12-2), the original size data is set to LAM (as A3). , the display state becomes display state 12-e for automatic magnification selection in Fig. 12-1 (Step 12 C0 in Fig. 12-2) o
Here, if you press 4 on the key 8 corresponding to "YES?", the magnification will be automatically determined and the black poppy mode setting will be completed.
? ” When you press 5 on soft key 8, the display status changes to 1.
2-F is set to 100% magnification mode. However, this magnification can be changed using the numeric keypad (step 12-ee).

In other words, in display state 12-f, ", I O' 0
This can be done by pressing 4 on the soft key 8 corresponding to %, l//''.

Also, if the document size is atypical in step 12-aa of FIG. 12-2, then No? in the display state 12-a of FIG. 12-1. By pressing the soft key SK5 corresponding to ", the display state changes to 12-g. Therefore, the document size is determined by inputting data using the numeric keys (step 12-ee). In short, The Kurowakushi mode corresponds to trimming the entire document.Also, by pressing the soft key SK6 corresponding to 'CANC' in each display state, the setting stage of the display state can be returned to the previous stage. Therefore, the order of size display in the black frame erasing mode will be further explained. CPU l
(For example, the AM area has a size selection frequency table as shown in Table 21. This selection frequency is all O when delivered to the user. The selection frequency can be set to 1 or more as desired by the operator (user, service person).

Furthermore, the basic order of display is shown in a of Table 2. In some cases, sizes with the same selection frequency on the selection frequency table are ordered according to the basic order.

When setting the black frame erasing mode for the first time, the basic order Table 2 a K Therefore, the display state 12-b, 1 in Figure 12-1
2-c and 12-d.

Assume that the selection frequency table is now as shown in Table 1. The flowchart shown in FIG. 13 will be explained below. Step 13-1: According to the table (Table 1), the basic ranking (
Reconfigure Table 2 a) as shown in Table 2 b). Step 13-2: If the black frame erasing mode is set for the first time after the power-on reset or after pressing the standard mode return key 301, the process proceeds to step 13-5; if the black frame erasing mode is set for the second or more time, the process proceeds to (13-3).

Step 13-3. Step 13-4 Step 13-
Among the rankings configured in step 1 (Table 2b), the ranking with the previously selected size (B4 in this case) placed first (Table 2C)
Reconfigure. Step 13-5. 13-6: Select the 1st to 4th place among the rankings (Table 2 b) or (Table 2 C) configured in steps 13-1 and 13-4 using the soft key SK.
From I to SK4, LCD section busy display 0 step 13
-7: If the soft key S K 5 corresponding to "ETC" is selected, step 13-10゜13-11.13-6
Accordingly, the rankings from 5th to 8th are displayed in step 13-6.

Thereafter, each time the key SK5 corresponding to "BTC" is pressed, the display is sequentially displayed from 9th to 12th, 1st to 4th, and 5th to 8th. Step 13-8: S corresponding to 'CI, R''
When the K6 key is pressed, the black frame erase mode setting is canceled.

Step 13-9: If any key from 1 to SK4 is pressed manually at step 13-9:8, it is assumed that size selection has been performed and the black frame erasing mode size setting is completed. Step 13-9 = For example, if LIGB 几 (displayed as "L") is selected, CG in the selection frequency table (Table 1) before mode setting is
Add 1 to the part corresponding to pog 几 and make it busy as shown in Table 3. If you enter the black frame erase mode size setting again after this, without turning off the power or pressing the reset key, the display order will be the second in step 13-1.13-2.13-3.13-4. It will look like Table d.

Table 3 Next, a schematic flowchart of FIG. 14 Ka is shown regarding the relationship between local/transmission copy and reception copy. Step 14-1: Set local or transmission copy mode on the operation unit.

If in step 14-2 the received copy is not in progress and there is no request for received copy from another reader in step 14-3, it is determined in step 14-4 whether the copy currently being set is in write mode. If the copy key is pressed manually in step 14-5 instead of in the update mode, the extinguished update display is turned on (step 14-17) to set the update mode (step 14-1). On the other hand, if it is in the changeover mode in step 14-4 and the stop key is pressed manually in (step 14-6), the changeover mode is canceled and the changeover display 102a that was lit until then is turned off (step 14-18).
Then, set the copy mode again (step 14-1), and if there is no manual power to press the copy key in step 14-5, or if there is no manual power to press the stop key in step 14-6, start in step 14-7. It is determined whether or not there is human power on the key, and if there is no human power on the start key, the process returns to step 14-1 to set the copy mode. Local/send copy start key If you have the manual power, finish the local/send copy process (step 14-8') in step 14-9 or press step 1.
Continue until the stop key is pressed in 4-10.

As can be seen from the flow, during this time, neither copy mode settings from the operation unit nor received copies from other readers are permitted. Step 14-1 when local/send copy is completed
After turning off the warning display 102a in step 1, step 1
Return to 4-1 and accept the copy mode setting.

Now, in step 14-3, if there is a request to copy the received image from another reader, the normal wasted copy display blinks (step 14-12), thereby making the normal wary-copy and the received wasted-copy the same. It is possible to distinguish and notify the operator on the display.

After that, a reception copy process is executed in step 14-13. Step 14-1 as for local/outgoing copy
If the reception has been completed in step 4 or if there is the power of the stop key in step 14-15, the reception is stopped and it is determined whether the reception is in the pre-copy mode (step 14-1).
6) Correspondingly, the display that was flashing during reception copying is turned on (Steps 14-17L) or turned off (Steps 14-18) () to return to the state before reception and set the copy mode again.

On the other hand, during local/transmission copying, it is not possible to set the copy mode on the operation unit until the end, but as shown in steps 14-19 onwards in the flow, it is possible to set the copy mode during reception. Step 14-14. Step 1
If it is determined in step 4-15 that the reception copy should be continued, it is determined in step 14-19 whether or not the local/transmission copy start key is available.

As mentioned earlier, if there is no copy start key input, the process returns to step 14-1, and the cohey mode can be set even during reception. If you are using Stella 7" 14-15, do not stop the received copy due to the stop key. Step 1
At step 4-19, when the input/transmission copy start key is available, a display as shown in Figure 15 is displayed on the LCD (step 14-20), informing the operator that reception is in progress and the reception status. /Reject outgoing copy processing.

Effects As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an operating device that is extremely simple and highly efficient in use, and further uses the display section effectively and has many intelligent functions with a small number of keys. can be provided.
