Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a programmable copying machine that specifies each mode such as the number of originals, number of copies, reduction ratio, tray number, etc., and continuously performs copying operations for each group of originals. The invention relates in particular to its control device.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, in a programmable copying machine that inputs and processes multiple copying processes at one time, there is a known control system that prevents copying processing of other document groups from being performed due to an input error or double feeding of one document group. However, this is unreasonable.

There is also a known system that compares the number of originals before feeding and the number of originals after exposure and issues a warning if they do not match. There is a drawback that it is impossible to confirm whether a discrepancy in the number of originals has occurred without examining all the originals and copies.

〔the purpose〕

The present invention has been made in view of the drawbacks of the conventional example, and is a programmable copying machine that inputs a plurality of copying processes and sequentially executes copying processes according to the inputs. When the number of originals copied differs, IIT continues the copying process without stopping.
d, and the purpose is to make it possible to easily confirm the cause of the discrepancy in the number of originals at the end of all processing.

The configuration of the present invention will be described above based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 3 is a partially detailed view of the display unit 5, where 35 is a display element such as an FL display tube, and 36 is the number of input originals (number of set originals) and the number of originals to be copied or copied (number of executed originals). The number of originals does not match, which lights up when the number of originals does not match.
37 is a pictorial display such as a jam display.

The copying program is expected to perform copying processing as shown in FIG.

That is, the numbers at the left end of the figure indicate each job, each mode is set for each job, and the jobs are executed sequentially starting with job 1.

The process shown in FIG. 4 is input to the main body control section (48) according to the procedure shown in FIG. The input data is stored in a RAM (42), which will be described later, for each job as shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows copy mode data used when executing copy processing, and is stored in a RAM (42) different from the JOB data storage section.
given within. The first JOB data is moved to this area when not in the JOB mode or when the print switch is turned on in the JOB mode, and is sequentially replaced upon completion of processing.

As shown in Figure 8, the gold paper has round holes punched at specific square positions. The automatic document feeder 3 feeds the document one by one from the bottom of FIG. 9, and when a slip sheet is detected, it is determined that one document has been sent.

This is a photo sensor that constitutes a slip sheet detector mounted in the automatic document feeder 3.

The eleventh flow is a flow showing how the copying process is controlled by the output of the gold paper sensor.

It is determined whether the paper sensor detects a document or a mount sheet fed by the automatic document feeder. If there is a sensor output, it is determined whether it is a manuscript or gold paper. If a hole is detected at a specific position, it is determined to be gold paper, and if no hole is detected, it is determined to be a manuscript.

When it is determined that the paper is gold paper, the number of executed original sheets 01 in the copy mode data that has been counted up to that point is set to zero. Next, it is determined whether Os (number of originals set)>great (number of originals executed in JOB mode data). Y (yes)
If so, it means that the number of sheets set is greater than the number of sheets to be executed, indicating that an input error or one feeding of the original has occurred.

The inconsistency flag Fo is the currently executed JO in Figure 6.
A specific address within B is set, and a mismatch display 36 is lit on the display section 5. Next, it is determined that the N0NSTO key is ON, and if it is N (NO), the stop processing flag Ft is set to the seventh
It is set to a specific address in the copy mode data in the figure, and when O3>% is Y, the gold paper is not copied but is ejected by the ejection processing routine, as in the case when O3>% is N.

If it is determined by the slip sheet sensor that the sheet sent is not gold paper, it is determined that the sheet is an original, and o=o+i is executed. Next, O>O3 is determined. If N, it is determined that the number O of originals to be executed is equal to or smaller than OSE, and a value of 0 is substituted for %, and the copy routine is executed. If Y, the number of executed originals 0 is greater than 0, that is, the number of originals actually set in the automatic document feeder 3 is greater than the input number of originals. Fo=l and a mismatch display are executed, and then it is determined whether the N0NSTOP key is turned on. If the continuation of processing is instructed, 1=0 is substituted, and the number of originals exceeding the set number is also copied by the normal copy routine. If the stop processing is instructed, the stop processing flag F1-1 is set and the original is ejected without being copied.

If the N0NSTOP key is not turned on, the copying operation will be interrupted when the ridges of the 1g manuscript do not match, and you will be able to check the cause of the discrepancy and
The number of man-hours is also reduced, but when the operator is not present, the copying machine remains stopped even though other processes are still being done. If the N ON S T OP key is turned on, the copying operation will continue regardless of whether the number of originals to be executed is greater or less than the number of cents, and after all copying processing is completed,
Looking at the discrepancy display, the operator will check whether a discrepancy has occurred in A #1.10 B. In this case, the confirmation key 17 is used to compare the number of sheets set and the number of sheets executed for each JOB and find that they are different. Check the JOB original group and copy group to see if there was an input error or if double feeding occurred.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, since the number of original copies to be executed Oe is stored, even if a discrepancy occurs, the copying operation continues, and when all processing is completed, the cause of the discrepancy and the copy correction can be corrected.
