Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need to enter data in a job sheet when a copy is taken in the same copy format as a preset copy format, and to reduce the amount of entry greatly and to improve operativity by resetting the copy format to a copy format before plural-original processings at every time one original is processed. CONSTITUTION:An original set consisting of the job sheet wherein a necessary copy format is entered and originals which are copied in the format and stacked on a recording member is placed in an original tray 16 and a copying operation is started with a copy start switch. The job sheet is conveyed by a paper feed belt 17 firstly and the copy format information is read by a job sheet reader 20 and sent to a main controller, which sets a copy mode and conveys an original to take a copy. When this copying operation is performed for many originals, the body format is reset to the copy format before the processing every time one original is processed, so the need to enter data in the job sheet is eliminated wen a copy is take in the same copy format as the preset format.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention provides a recycling automatic document feeder f! E(RoF)
The present invention relates to a copying control method for a copying machine which is equipped with a copying machine and is capable of processing multiple items at once.

Note that multiple batch processing means that once copy processing is completed for a group of originals with copy formats such as single copy mode, image density mode, sort mode, stack mode, duplex, reverse mode, variable magnification mode, etc. , refers to sequentially performing copy processing for the next group of manuscripts with a new copy format set (of course, the same as the previous one is also fine),
For this purpose, a plurality of document groups are set in a stacked state in the RDF section.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of copying machine, in order to set a large number of copying formats, it was necessary to select, operate, and press various mode switches and keys on the operation panel. Therefore,
This is extremely troublesome for users who are not familiar with the operation.

Particularly when processing multiple documents at once, it is necessary to operate switches and keys to set the copy format for each volume (each group of documents), which is not only cumbersome, but also requires processing of all documents at once. There was a problem in that the user could not leave the copying machine until the copying process was finished.

(Purpose) The present invention was made based on this background,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a copying control method that can automatically set a copying style for each item when a copying machine performs batch processing of multiple items.

Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for controlling copying which can improve operability by making it unnecessary to use the preset copying format to fill in a zip sheet, which will be described later.

(Structure) For this purpose, the present invention prepares a recording member on which the necessary copying format is recorded for each group of receptive originals, reads the recorded contents of this recording member with a copying machine before copying the group of originals, and
The present invention is characterized in that the copying format is determined, and furthermore, in the case where no information is given to the recording member, +wm is performed so that the copying operation is performed based on the previously set information.

An example will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a copying machine according to the present invention.

A photoreceptor 2 is provided in the main body 1 of the copying machine, and a charge is applied to the photoreceptor 2 by a charger 3. The charged photoreceptor 2 passes the original image on the contact glass 4 through the optical system 5 and is exposed to light. Unnecessary parts of the exposed electrostatic latent image are removed by an eraser 6, developed by a developer 7, and sent to a transfer section.
During transfer charging 8, the image is transferred to the transfer paper.

The transfer paper is fed from one of the paper feed trays 9, 10, and 11, travels through the conveyance path 12, and is sent to the transfer section where the image is transferred. Thereafter, the transfer paper is fixed by the fixing device 13 and is discharged to the paper discharge tray 14.

15 is an automatic document feeder. This will be explained with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a document tray, on which a document to be copied and a member (hereinafter referred to as a ship sheet) in which a required copying style is written are placed together. At this time, the jeep sheet is placed below the original on the original tray 16. There may be a plurality of document sets as long as the number is less than a predetermined number. Therefore, it is possible to add a document set after the copying operation has started. After a plurality of sets of originals are placed on the original tray 16 (two sets in FIG. 2), the copying operation is started by pressing the copy start switch. When the copying operation is started, in order to determine the copying style, the zip sheet is first conveyed along the conveyance path by the paper feed bell (17), and during that time, the information about the copying style written on the zip sheet is transferred to the zip sheet reading device 20. Input it to the main@control device.

The zip sheet reading device 20 is attached to the document tray 1 as shown in the figure.
6 and above the paper feed belt 17, and is composed of a reflective photosensor.

The zip sheet is provided with, for example, three rows of marks, on which markings are made in accordance with the copying style.

Zip sheet reader 1*It2G reads this marking position and sends a signal to the control device described later.
Here, a control fa signal matching the copy format is output.

FIG. 3 is a control block diagram, and shows the zip sheet reading device W.
Information from 120 is transmitted to main control device 21 as a control means of the copying machine system.

The main control device 21 is mainly composed of a microprocessor and controls the copying machine. In addition, the main control device 21
Information is exchanged with the operating unit control device 23, and normal copying operations are performed by key operations. RDF control device 2
2 is a motor,
Controls relays, etc., and comprehensively controls the RDF 15.

The above is the flow of information. Next, the operation after reading the zip sheet will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. Once the information on the zip sheet is read and the copy format is determined, the
A copy mode is set, and a copying operation is started by transporting the document. Since the zip sheet is not necessary for the copying operation, it passes over the contact glass 4 and is discharged onto the document discharge tray 18.

The document group corresponding to the zip sheet 24 is as described above (
A predetermined copy process is performed according to the input information, and depending on the format, the document is ejected onto the document tray 18 or the intermediate tray 19.
Can be placed on top.

The intermediate tray 19 is used to temporarily store original documents for further copying processing and to re-feed the documents as necessary. When all copying operations are completed for the document group of the first document set, this document group is deposited on the document ejection tray 18. Then, the zip sheet of the next document set is sent out, the new copy format is read by the zip sheet reading device 20, and the signal is sent to the main I111mW21, where a new copy IIg1gj (iI number is issued). The next group of documents is also copied in the same manner.

By the way, the information that can be given to the zip sheet is -ffl
This can be input from the operation key unit of the copying machine. That is, (1) Number of copies or copies゛ (ri Density (3) Variable magnification (4) Binding margin n +!11 'rq side or single side (according to machine A) (6)
What to do with peripheral devices, etc.

Next, the operation when no information is given to this zip sheet will be explained.

FIG. 4 is a control flowchart.

When the main switch is turned on and basic operations are enabled, the copying machine changes from a copy not allowed display to a copy allowed display. The copy format at this time generally refers to the number of copies (or number of copies)
1. The density is displayed in the following formats: throughput, binding margin φ, magnification ratio 10094, etc.

If you want to change the format, you can freely set it by pressing the operation key. Thereafter, by pressing the copy start key, the copying operation is started. Regardless of whether you change it or not, the format at the time you press the copy start key is ■. If the copying operation is multi-item processing, the copying operation will be performed based on the form, but in the case of multi-item processing, the zip sheet will be read and only the forms filled in on the zip sheet will be changed, and the forms that are not filled in will be changed. The duplication operation is carried out according to the following. After the copying operation of the original set is completed, the copying format is returned to ■.

(Effects) The present invention is as described above.According to the present invention, multiple copying processes can be automatically performed by reading the zip sheet, and each time the capacity processing is completed, Since the copy format returns to the one before starting multi-case processing, there is no need to fill in the zip sheet if it is the same as the copy format set in advance, and only need to fill it out when you want to change the format. This reduces the amount of time required and improves operability.
