Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent stop of a copying device due to lack of transfer paper and degradation of the picture quality by inhibiting the input of information if the total copy number in a storage part exceeds the number of copies, which can be obtained, in a transfer paper remainder detecting part. CONSTITUTION:Input information of an input part for the original number and the copy number of every original is stored in a storage part 9, and an automatic original feeding device feeds automatically originals in accordance with stored information in the storage part 9. A transfer paper remainder detecting part 10 detects the remainder of transfer paper and copies automatically originals to a determinate number of papers on a basis of stored information in the storage part 9. If total copy number information in the storage part 9 exceeds the number of copies which is discriminated in accordance with a transfer paper remainder signal of the detecting part 10 and can be obtained, information input from the input part is inhibited. Consequently, stop of the copying machine due to lack of transfer paper after copying start and degradation of the picture quality are prevented.

(Prior Art) Programmable copying devices such as those described above have been conventionally known, but in the prior art, when information is input into the storage unit such as copy sheet 1 & etc., the number of remaining copies that can be made is checked using the remaining transfer paper. If this is not done, the machine may stop after copying starts due to lack of transfer paper, and the image quality may deteriorate, and the copying operator must perform maintenance every time this happens, reducing the effectiveness of the programmable copying device. The disadvantage is that it cannot be used to its full potential.
