Abstract

PURPOSE:To use an intermediate tray not only in the double face copy mode but also as a normal paper supply tray in the single face copy mode by setting transfer papers from the external to the intermediate tray of a copying machine capable of copying both faces and supplying selectively transfer papers set onto this intermediate tray by a supply paper selecting means. CONSTITUTION:When a front door of the housing of the copying machine is opened, operator's hands reach an intermediate tray 11 so that form bundles of various sizes can be set onto the intermediate tray 11 from the external. A guide which can be displaced in accordance with the form size and a form size detecting means are provided on the intermediate tray. The intermediate tray can be used as a normal paper supply tray when double face copying is not performed, and for example, this intermediate tray is used together with two paper supply trays, namely, the first and the second paper supply trays 5a and 5b of a paper feeding device 5 to increase the number of paper supply trays from two to three. Forms set onto individual paper supply trays are selected by a supply paper selecting key of an operation part and the selection result is displayed on a display part.

The first example of a typical #l configuration of a conventional copier capable of double-sided copying is shown below.
As shown in the figure. The original placed on the contact glass 2 provided on the top surface of the copying machine housing l is exposed to the photosensitive drum 4 by the exposure system 3, and is formed on the photosensitive main drum 4 by a predetermined 9-photography process. The resulting toner image is transferred to a transfer sheet fed from the paper feed section 5, and fixed by the fixing device 6, completing one-sided copying. The transfer paper on which one-sided copying has been completed passes through a three-roller type reversing device 7, and then is transferred to a double-sided copying machine.
When the mode is selected, the original is introduced into the reversing guide 9 by the switching claw 8, and is ejected onto the intermediate tray 11 by the reversing feed roller 10 and stacked. When a predetermined number of sheets have been stacked, the original is placed on the contact glass 2. When the paper in the intermediate tray is replaced or turned over and the copy button is pressed, the paper in the intermediate tray is fed to the transfer section of the photosensitive drum 4, and after the toner image on one side is transferred and fixed, the paper is switched after the reversing device 7. It is ejected out of the machine by the claw 8, and a double-sided copy is obtained. When the single-sided copy mode is selected, the switching pawl 8 is used to eject the paper to the outside after the single-sided copy is completed.
