When the power key 45 is turned on, 7. Initial settings are performed in step ■. In step (2), the input interface circuit 103 and output interface circuit 105 of the microcomputer 104 are cleared.

Next, go to the standby routine of step (■). This standby routine consists of subroutines 1-15.

Next, the process goes to step (2), a document feed control routine.

This document feed control routine consists of subroutines 19-21.

Next, in step (2), it is checked whether the print key 47 is OK for reception, and if the print key 47 is OK, it is checked in step (2) whether or not the copy start flag FG141 is set to 1. If the print key 47 is not accepted in step ■, and the copyney start flag F”G14 in step ■
If 1 is not 1, return to step (2).

If the copy start flag FG141 is 1 in step (2), the process goes to the copying operation start routine in step (2). This copying operation start routine consists of subroutines 16.18. Next, the document feeding control routine in step (2) is executed, and then the reverse copying operation control routine is executed in step (2). This copying operation control routine consists of a subroutine 17. Next, after going through the document feed control routine in step ①, it is checked in step 0 whether or not the interruption was caused by turning on the stop key.If not, in step O, it is checked whether the set number of copies of one original is equal to the number of copies to be executed. Check.

Step Q: If the set number of copies of one document in the arm is not equal to the number of copies to be executed, return to step (2).

If the interruption is due to turning on the stop key in step [phase], and in step (■) the number of copies set for one original -
If it is the number of sheets to be copied, the process goes to step 0, the final processing routine. This final processing routine is subroutine 1
Consists of 7.

Next, through the original feed control routine in step 0, it is checked in step 0 whether or not the final processing has been completed, and if the final processing has not been completed, the process returns to step 0. If the final processing is completed at step 0, a check is made to see if the operation has ended at step 60, and if the operation is not completed, the process returns to step 2. Figure 12 shows the main flowchart for explaining the operation of the sorter 3 mentioned above. The routine is shown and will now be explained.

When the power key 45 is turned on, initial settings are performed in step 0. In this initial setting, the input interface circuit 106 and the output interface circuit 108 of the microcomputer 107 are cleared, and then the process goes to the standby routine of step 0, which consists of a subroutine 23. Next, in step 6→, it is checked whether or not there is a start signal (17), and if there is no start signal, the process returns to step 0.

When a start signal is received at step 0, either sort mode or stack mode is set at step 0. Next, proceed to the classification operation control routine of step [phase]. This classification operation control routine consists of a subroutine 22.

Next, in step (2), it is checked whether or not the number of copy sets of one original document is equal to the number of sheets stored in the bin. If step @ is not the number of copies set for one original - number of sheets stored in the bin, step [
Return to Step [Phase] If the number of copies of one original document is equal to the number of sheets stored in the bin at Step Gjl, the process goes to the final processing control routine of Step [Phase]. This final processing control routine consists of a gaff routine 24.

Next, in step 0, it is checked whether the operation is completed or not, and if the operation path is not completed, the process returns to step 1@.

The subroutines of the main routine of the flow for explaining the operation of the electronic copying machine of the present invention shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are shown in FIGS. 13 to 35, and these subroutines will be explained next. .

FIG. 13 shows subroutine 1.

This subroutine 1 is included in the standby routine of step (2) and sets or resets the multi-job mode.

First, in step [phase] it is determined whether the multi-job key 52 is ON, and if the multi-job key 52 is ON, it is checked in step [phase] whether FG11=1. If the multi-job key 52 is not ON, the FG

Next, in step ■, an all-job end signal indicating that all jobs have been completed is output to the sorter 3, and the CTJB
After putting O into PT, CTJBTC and C'l'JBPC (steps [phase] to ■), the process returns to the main routine.

Next, subroutine 2 and subroutine 3 shown in FIG. 14 will be explained. These subroutines 2 and 3 are included in the standby routine of step
The number of original sheets key 56 and the number of copies key 57 are accepted.

First, in step [phase] it is checked whether or not the number of originals key 56 is ON, and if it is ON, then in step [phase]
Check whether G21=1.

If the document number key 56 is not ON in step [phase], the FG 21 is set to 0 in step [phase] and the process returns to the main routine. Further, if FG21=1 in step [phase], the process returns to the main routine.

If FG21 is not 1 in step [phase], FG21 is set to 1 in step (2) and FCl2-1 is checked in step @. If FG12 is not 1, it is not the multi-job mode and the process returns to the main routine. FG1
If 2=1, it is the 1 multi-job mode, so in 1 step @, it is checked whether the original number confirmation display 71 and the copy number confirmation display 72 are ON.
If it is ON, CCTJBPT:]≦(C

After setting CTJBPTI to the maximum value that has been input, pass through step ■C and in step ■CCTJBPT). Enter and display. At step Φ, [CTJBPT)>[CTJBTC, if it is not 1, the displayed job has already been input, so step 1 (
At step O, the contents of the memory specified by [CTJBPT,] are stored in the copy number set counter, copy number execution counter, original number set counter, and original number execution counter and are displayed.

Next, subroutine 7 shown in FIG. 18 will be explained.

This subroutine 7 is included in the standby routine of step (2), and calculates the remaining amount of copies that can be stored in the bin 3e and the remaining amount of originals that can be stacked on the original table 2a of the ADF 2. .

R1 in this subroutine 7. R2 and Rs are working registers.

First, step 1 (already put N in R1. This N is the maximum value of the number of bins 3e of sorter 3. Next, in step
Input CCTBTC) into 2, that is, set the value of R2 to be the maximum number of jobs that have been input.

Next, in step Φ, it is checked that the set value of the number of originals in the memory specified by [R2] is 1.

If the set value of the number of originals in the memory specified by [R2] is not 1, the sort mode is set to (R
1) Put the calculated value of -[memory copy number set value specified by (R2)] into R1, and go to step Φ (check R13<O).

If the set value of the number of original sheets in the memory specified by (R2) in step ① is minus 1, the number of copies of copies in the memory specified in step ① is set as stack mode. value/Pt) is calculated as R1
, go to step number (R1) and check <00. Here, Pl is the maximum number of copy sheets p that can be accommodated in one hinge 3e of the sorter 3, and in calculating the memory copy number set value/P1 specified by (R2), the value below the decimal point is rounded up.

In step ■, if (R1)<O, it is 1. Put the value of (R2)-1 into R2 and check (R2)-〇 (Step ■1 ($). In step σ, (R2) = 0 Otherwise, return to the step groove. Step (at the foundation (R1) <
If it is 0, there is no copy number set remaining amount value, so the copy number confirmation display 72 is turned on (step ①).
).

If (R2) -〇 in the above step Φ), or after passing through step ⑦, enter the R1O value into CTCPZZ (step past). This CTCPZZ contains the copy number set remaining amount value, that is, the number of remaining bins of the sorter 3.

Next, the calculation of the remaining amount value of the set number of original sheets will be explained.

In step Φ, put the value of CTJBTC into R2.

Insert step Q into R3. This Q is the maximum number of originals 0 that can be set on the original setting table 2a of the ADF 2.

Next, in step ○, enter the calculated value of (R3) - (number of originals set in the memory specified by (R2)] + number of originals executed in the memory specified by C (R2)) into R3.Next, step Check (Ra) < O with ■, and (i(a
)<O, after putting the value of (R2)-1 into R2, check that (R2) = O (step G, Φ
vinegar). If step Φ is not (R2) - 〇, step Φ
Return to ri. If it is (R3) <0 in step (2), there is no remaining amount value for the number of originals set, so in step (2), the number of originals set confirmation display 71 is turned on. (R2) at step Φ)
- If it is 0, or after step Φ, the value of R3 is put into CTORZZ (step 0) and the process returns to the main routine. This CTORZZ contains the remaining amount value of the number of originals set.Next, subroutine 8 shown in FIG. 19 will be explained.

This subroutine 8 is included in the standby routine of step (2) and accepts the remaining amount confirmation key 67.

First, in step Φ, it is checked whether the remaining amount check key 67 is ON or not, and if it is ON, the FG 12-1 is checked (Step 2). If FG12 is not 1, there is no point in checking the remaining amount, so the process returns to the main routine.

If FG12=1, the contents of CTORZZ are displayed on the original sheet number set counter display 64, the contents of CTCPZZ are displayed on the copy number set counter display 49, and the process returns to the main routine.

If the remaining capacity confirmation key 67 is not turned on in step ■, the original number set value is displayed on the original number set counter display 64, the copy number set value is displayed on the copy number set counter display 49, and the main Return to routine.

Next, subroutine 9 shown in FIG. 20 will be explained.

This subroutine 9 is included in the standby routine of step (2) and accepts the job cancel key 68.

First, in step (2), it is checked whether the job cancel key 68 is ON. Job cancel key 68
If it is ON, FG91 = 1 is checked (step Φ). If the job cancel key 68 is not ON, FG91 is set to 0 (step 2) and the process returns to the main routine. If FG91 = 1 in step ■, the process returns to the main routine.

If FG91 is not 1 in step σ foundation, FG91 is set to 1.
After that, it is checked whether or not the document number mismatch display 69 is ON (step (φ10)).

If the original number mismatch display 69 is ON, after turning the original number mismatch display 69 OFF, it is checked whether the values of the original number execution counter and the copy number execution power 1 kunta are 0. In other words, check whether the job displayed as 1 is before execution (step ■■■■)
. If the original number execution counter and copy number execution counter are 0 in step Φ, the job displayed as 2 is to be executed, so the main routine is executed through subroutine 7 of step ■■ and subroutine 10 of step φ■. Return to.

Step (If the values of the original sheet count execution counter and the copy sheet count execution counter are not O at the top, the displayed job has been executed, so stop the execution of this job and set [CTJBPC] +1 at step ΦQ. After that, a 1-job end signal indicating that the execution of the job has been completed is output to the sorter 3.

Next step (Shining (CTJBPC) < [CTJBTC
] Check. [:CTJBPC]<CCTJB
TC: ], it means that the number of executed jobs is greater than the maximum number of copies input, that is, there are no remaining jobs, so subroutine 7 of step σa and subroutine of step φ are executed. 10 to return to the main routine.

If CCTJBPC]<CCTJBTC) in step φ, the value of the job in the execution method is smaller than the maximum input value, so the value of CTJBPC is changed to CTJBPT.
(Step ΦS), and input the original number set value and copy number set value in the memory specified by (CTJ BPC) into the original number set counter and the copy number set counter and display them.Step φS), Step @

BTC) ≧ [CTJBPT).

Since the displayed job has not been input, the process returns to the main routine.

CCTJBTC': l≧CCTJBPT at step φ
: ], the displayed job has been input, so the original number execution counter and copy number execution power 1
Check whether the value of Kunta is 0 or not. That is, it is checked whether the displayed job is yet to be executed (step (S)).

If the values of the original number execution counter and copy number execution counter are O in step 6, the displayed job has not yet been executed, so the original number set value and the copy number set value in the memory specified by [CTJBPT) The value is erased, and the contents of the next memory are sequentially filled without leaving the memory blank (step φ).

Next, check step (already CCTJBTC:] -o. If (CTJBTC) is not -O in step ■, then (CTJBTC) is -1 in step φ. After setting FG51 to O, display the contents of the memory specified by [CTJBPT) on the copy number set counter and original number set counter (step (S)). Press indicator 61a,
61b and copy number key press indicators 60a, 60b
Turn OFF and check step ($) (original sheet number set counter) - 0 (step Φ)). Step (If the [Original sheet number set counter] is -0, the original sheet number key press indicator 59a159b is set to O in step ■).
If the original number set counter is not 0 in step Φ, the original number key press indicators 59a and 59b are turned off in step Φ, and then subroutine 7 in step φ and subroutine 10 in step and returns to the main routine.

At the above step φ, (CTJBTC) ≧ (CTJBPT
:), and if the values of the original sheet number set counter and the copy number set counter are not O in step ■,
Step Φ [:CTJBTC] ≧ [CTJ BPC
] to play Chicheno.

Step (Ride[CTJBTC]≧(CTJBPC:]
Otherwise, all 11 manual jobs will have been executed, so in step Φ, all the original number execution values and copy number execution values related to the job will be deleted from the memory, and in step Φ, all input jobs will be executed. After outputting an all-job end signal to the sorter 3 indicating that the job has been completed,
The process returns to the main routine through subroutine 7 of step (2) and subroutine 10 of step φ.

The reason why the original number set value and the copy number set value in the memory related to the job are not deleted in step Φb is that when a multi-job with the same pattern as these is executed,
This is to eliminate the need for re-input.

The above steps (Ride (CTJBTC) ≧ [CTJBPC
], in step Φ, the [copy number set counter] = [copy number execution counter] is checked, and if the [copy number set counter] = [copy number execution counter], step (already Check [Original Sheet Number Set Counter] - [Original Sheet Number Execution Counter].If [Original Sheet Number Set Counter] = [Original Sheet Number Execution Counter] in step ○, the job with the maximum number of input jobs will be executed. Because it was done.

Since it cannot be canceled, return to the main routine. At step Φ above, set [copy number set counter] - [
If it is not the copy number execution counter], the step Φ
If [original sheet number set counter] = [original sheet number execution counter], the job being executed in step Φ will be canceled, so set [CTJBPC) +1, and in step ■, send a 1 job job signal to sorter 3. After outputting, step (CTJBTC) < (TJB
PC). CCTJBT with step ΦΦ
C) If <[CTJBPC], some of the input jobs will not be executed, so go to step Φ) and put the value of CTJBPC in CTJBPT, and in step The original number set value and the copy number set value are displayed in the original number set counter and the copy number set counter. In the above step Φ (CTJBTC: l< [C
TJBPC), the input job is being executed, so the process returns to the main routine via subroutine 7 of step (2) and subroutine 10 of step (2).

Next, the subroutine 10 shown in FIG. 21 will be explained.

This subroutine 10 is included in the standby routine of step (2) and calculates and displays the total number of copies.

First, check FG51=1 in step ■, and
If 51=1, [CTJBTC)≧[
CTJBPC).

Also, if FG51 is not 1 in step ■.

If [:CTJBTC)≧[:CTJBPC],
That is, if all the input jobs have been executed, O is entered and displayed in the total number of copies counter at step (2), and the process returns to the main routine.

Step ■Ride (CTJBTC) ≧ [CTJBPC)
', set R2 to 0, and CTJBTC
After putting the value of (R1) into R1 - [CTJ BPC
) is checked (step (荀-4D). If (R1) = (CTJBPC) in step Φ, the difference between the original number set value and the copy number set value in the memory specified in step Φ (boiled (R1)) is checked. Add the multiplication value to (R2),
In step (2), enter the value (R1)-1 into R1, and then return to step (2). Steps G to ■ are repeated and when (R1) = □ (CTJBPC) in step ■, the multiplication value of the original number set value and the copy number set value in the memory specified by (R1) in step (φ) is R2) and in one step Φ, the product value of the actual number of originals and the actual number of copies in the memory specified by (R1) is calculated as (R2).
and the resulting value in step ■ is (
R2) in the total number of copies counter and display it, then return to the main routine.

Next, subroutine 11 shown in FIG. 22 will be explained.

This subroutine 11 determines whether the conditions for starting copying are met in the multi-job mode, and if the conditions are not met, prohibits the start of copying and displays the determination result.

First, in step σ), FG12=1 is checked, and F
If G12=1, it is checked in step (2) whether or not the first document set detection means 24 is ON. If the first document set detection means 24 is not ON, it is checked in step Φ whether or not the copying operation is interrupted, and if the copying operation is not interrupted, the FG 111 is set to 1 (step Φ).
. The determination of whether or not this copy operation is interrupted is 1. For example,
This is done by checking the number of copies set - the number of copies to be executed or by checking the stop flag -1. The reason why the step Φ is provided is to prevent the print key 47 from being displayed in red when the first document set detection means 24 is OFF when copying the final document is interrupted.

The copy operation is interrupted when there is document 0 on one side of the contact glass 7a.

Also, this refers to a case where the number of copies to be executed has hardly reached the number of copies set, and the copying operation has been stopped.

If the first document set detection means 24 is ON in step σ■, 1, and if the copying operation is interrupted in step (), 1
It is checked whether the pressure plate opening/closing detection means 30 is OFF (step Φ). Pressure plate opening/closing detection means 30 is OFF
If so, go to step (d) and set FGllll to 1. Also, if the pressure plate opening/closing detection means 30 is ON, go to step Φ and set FGllll to 0 and go to step (2).

Next, in step Φ, check FG51=1, and
If 51=1, set FGll2 to 1 in step [U]. If FG51=1 in step ■, it is 1 Step 6
], check that (CTJBTCIII≧[CTJBPC, 1.CCTJBTC]≧(CTJBPC), the input job is being executed, so go to step ① and set FGl, 1'2 to 1.

If [1:CTJBTC]≧(CTJBPC), some of the input jobs may not be executed.

Set FGI 12 to 0 in step (■). Above step■
If FGl, 2 is not 1, then FGl, 11 in step ■
and FGll2 is set to 0.

Next, check FG111=1 in step ■Φ, and
Gx1t=1. Step ■Print key 4 with brightness
7 is displayed in red indicating that copying is not possible, and 17 is displayed to return to the main routine. Step (@FGllll-
If it is not 1, check that FG112=1 with 1 step (■).If FGll, 2-1, go to step 1■ and display the print key 17 in red.If FG112 = 1, press the print key 47 with 1 step G. The screen returns to the main routine with a green display indicating that copying is possible.

Next, subroutine 12 in FIG. 23 will be explained.

This subroutine 12 is included in the standby routine of step (2), and automatically sets the sort mode and stack mode based on the document number set value in the multi-job mode.

First, in step FG12=1 is checked, and FG
If l2=1, it is not the multi-job mode and the process returns to the main routine. If FG12=1, then in step φ, [original sheet number set counter]-1 is checked. c Original sheet number set counter] If it is -1, the sort mode is reset (ie, FGl31 is set to O), the stack mode is set (ie, FGl32 is set to 1), the mode signal is output to the sorter 3, and then the mode signal is output to the sorter 3 (
Step (◇~■) Return to the main routine.

If it is not [original sheet number set counter] -1 in step Φ, check [original sheet number set counter]>1 in step ■]. [Original sheet number set counter] If it is 1, the stack mode will be reset, that is, FGl32
) and set the sort mode, i.e. FGl
31 as 1), and then outputs a mode signal to the sorter 3 (steps ■, ■1 (Φ). If the [original sheet number set counter] is not 1 in step ■), the input value of the number of original sheets is 0.
Therefore, sort mode and stack mode are reset and a mode signal is output to sorter 3 (step 0
1 (φ).

Next, subroutine 13 shown in FIG. 24 will be explained. This subroutine 13 is included in the standby routine of step (2) and accepts the print key 47.

First, in step C, it is checked whether or not the print key 47 is turned on. If the print key 47 is turned on, it is checked in step (2) whether or not the print key 47 is displayed in red. In step ■), print key 47 is set to O.
If not N, or if the print key 47 is displayed in red in step (), the process returns to the main routine.

If the print key 47 is not displayed in red in step (■), that is, it is displayed in green, FG12 = 1 in step (■).
Check. 1 step if it is FGl2-1■
Check whether the copy operation is interrupted. If the copy operation is interrupted, the copy start flag FG141 is set to 1.

After outputting the print ON signal to the ADF2 (step 4), return to the main routine.If the copy operation is not interrupted at step ■, do not set the copy start flag FG141 to 1 and turn the print ON to the ADF2 at Output the signal. FG in step ■α above
Unless 12=1.

Since it is not multi-job mode, copy start flag F
After setting G141 to 1, a print ON signal is output to ADF2 (step (d+(i)).

If the copy operation is not interrupted in step ■α, a print ON signal is output to the ADF 2 in step ■.

As will be described later, this signal turns on the ADF 2 and transports original 0 or partition paper d, and outputs a copy start signal to electronic copying machine 1 only when it is determined that the document being transported is original O. copy start flag FG1
41 is set to 1, and the copy start signal is not output in the case of partition paper d.

If the copying operation is interrupted in step G above, there is document 0 on the contact glass 7a.

As soon as the print key 47 is turned on, the copy start flag FGI 41 is set.

Next, the subroutine 14 shown in FIG. 25 will be explained.

This subroutine 14 is included in the standby routine of step (2), and processes the copy start signal from the ADF 2 or the signal from the partition paper detection means 25.

First, in step ■), check FG12=1, and
If G12=1, the copy start flag FG141=1 is checked in step (). If the copy start flag FG141 is not 1, step (check the presence or absence of a boiled partition paper detection signal).

If it is not [original sheet number set counter] - [original sheet number execution counter], the number of original sheet discrepancy indicator 6 will be displayed at step @.
Turn on 9, step ■ Boiled copy start flag
After setting 1FG141 to 0, the process returns to the main routine. The reason why the number of originals discrepancy display 69 is turned on at step σ after going through steps σ~■■ is that the partition paper d arrived when some of the set originals O were not copied. .

(1) If you mistakenly set a smaller number of originals O than the number of inputted originals in the ADF2, (2) If you set the same number of originals O as the number of inputted originals in A I) F 2, but multiple originals O were sent at the same time. That is, the following cases occur: (3) when document 0 is fed multiple times; and (3) when the number of document sheets is erroneously input greater than the number of document sheets set in the ADF 2.

The copy start flag is -1 in the above step ■Φ,
Or, if there is no partition paper detection signal in step ■■, check the presence or absence of a copy start signal from ADF2 in step (Φ.Al in step 0) If there is a copy start signal from F2, 1 [Original sheet number set counter ]
- Check [Manuscript number execution ability/Kunta], Cl1
fA sheet number set counter] - [Original sheet number execution counter]
If so, reset the copy start signal from the ADF 2, go to step (9), and turn on the document number mismatch display 69. The reason for ON is (4
) A case in which a larger number of originals O than the inputted number of originals is set in the ADF 2 by mistake, and (5) a case in which a number of originals that are significantly smaller than the number of originals set in the ADF 2 are inputted.

If FG12 = 1 at the above step (ω, step (
At ρ, the presence or absence of a copy start signal from the ADF 2 is checked. If there is a copy start signal from ADF2 in step ①, or.

If it is determined in step @ that the [original number set counter] is not equal to the [original number execution counter], the copy start flag FG141 is set to 1 in step () and the process returns to the main routine. If there is no copy start signal from the ADF 2 in step Φ), the process returns to the main routine.

If there is no copy start signal from the ADF2 in the above step (), check FG151 = 1 in step q.If FG151 = 1, check whether the original is the last sheet in step ().Step ■ FG1
If 51=1, or if the document is not the last sheet in step (2), the process returns to the main routine.

In addition, if the first original/hanawa set detection means 24 that detects document 0 on the document setting platen 2a of the ADF 2 is ON, the ADF mode is set if the multi-job mode is set, and the ADF mode is set if the multi-job mode is not the multi-job mode. and 5ADF mode seven times.

Next, subroutine 21 shown in FIG. 32 will be explained.

This subroutine 21 includes steps ■, ■, ■.

6) is included in the document feed control routine, and outputs a partition paper detection signal and a copy start signal to the electronic copying machine 1.

First, in step (2), it is checked that [TPC]≧R.

This TPC is a timing pulse counter that counts the number of pulses output from the encoder 19. The above R is a predetermined value from when the partition paper d is fed by the ADF 2 until the partition paper detection means 25 detects the first hole (It) of the partition paper d and the next hole d1. This is the number of pulses output by the encoder 19 up to the point in time.

If step Φ is not (TPC)≧R, step ■■
It is checked whether the partition paper detection means 25 is ON or not. This partition paper detection means 25 is 1.

It turns ON regardless of whether partition paper d or original O is detected. When the partition paper detection means 25 is turned on in step Φ, the AFG 21 is set to 1 in step Φ and the process returns to the main routine. This AFG21 is a flag for detecting the partition paper d. Next, when the partition paper detection means 25 turns OFF at step (ψ), the AFG2 is turned off at step Φ.
Check i = t. AFG2 at step q
If 1=1, the partition paper detection means 25 detects the hole d1 of the partition paper d, so the AFG 22 detects the hole d1 in the partition paper d.
is set to 1 and returns to the main routine. This AFG
22 is a flag for detecting the hole d+ of the partition sheet d. If AFG21 is not 1 in step (2), the partition sheet detection means 25 does not detect partition sheet d or document 0, and the process returns to the main routine.

Next, if [TPC,1≧R-C is found in step Φ, then [T''PC)-R is checked in step (2).

[If TPC1l=R, AFG=1 in step Q
Play the che7 nok. In this step 6, AFG22=
If it is 1, it means that the partition paper d is being fed by the ADF2, so in step 6φ, a partition paper detection signal is output to the electronic copying machine 1, and in step φ, the partition paper d is sent to the AFG21 and AF.
Set G22 to 0 and return to the main routine.

If AFG22 = 1 in step ■, step (Φ
Check AFG21 = 1. If AFG21 = 1 in step Φ, it means that the ADF 2 is feeding the document O, so in step ■, a copy start signal and a document count signal are output to the electronic copying machine 1, and the process proceeds to step σ. .

If AFG21 is not 1 in step C, it is checked in step σ whether or not the second paper feed detection means 2 is ON. In step ■■, the second paper feed detection means 27 is turned on.
If not, the ADF jam flag is set to 1 in step 2, and the process goes to step 2, even though partition paper d or document 0 is jammed. If the second paper feed detection means 27 is ON in step (2), the process returns to the main routine.

Next, the subroutine 22 shown in FIG. 33 will be explained.

This subroutine 22 is included in the classification operation control routine of step [phase], and outputs a copy ejection signal to the electronic copying machine 1 when the copy ejection sensor 37 of the sorter 3 is turned on.

First, in step σ, it is checked whether the boiled copy discharge sensor 37 is ON or not. If the copy ejection sensor 37 is ON, 5FG11=1 is checked at step (ψ). This 5FGII is a flag that detects whether the copy ejection sensor 37 is ON.
If 1 is not 1, 5FG1.1 is set to 1, and electronic copying machine 1
Outputs a copy discharge signal (steps ■su, ■su) and returns to the main routine. If the copy ejection sensor 37 is not ON in step ■ above, 5FG will be activated in step ■.
Return to the main routine while setting II to 0. If 5FG11=1 after step Φ, the process returns to the main routine.

Next, the subroutine 23 shown in FIG. 34 will be explained.

This subroutine 23 is included in the standby routine of step 0, and controls the job divider display 39 based on the 1 job job signal from the electronic copying machine 1.

First, in step 1, the presence or absence of the 1 job end signal is checked. 1 job end signal is present.

The final bin 3e of the job that finished execution in step σ)
After turning on the job partition display 39 corresponding to , the process returns to the main routine. If there is no job end signal in step 2, the process returns to the main routine.

Next, the subroutine 24 shown in FIG. 35 will be explained.

This subroutine 24 is included in the final processing routine of step [phase] and processes the all-job end signal from the electronic copying machine 1.

First, in step 6, the presence or absence of an all-job end signal is checked, and if there is an all-job end signal, in step φ, it is checked whether the bin copy paper sensor 38 is ON. If the paper sensor 38 is not ON, the job partition display 39 is turned OFF at the end of step □ and the process returns to the main routine.

The all-job end signal is output when the multi-job mode is canceled and when the job cancel key 68 is pressed.

Therefore, even if multi-job mode is released.

sorter 3 without immediately turning off the job partition display 39.
After removing the copy paper p from all the bins 3e, the job partition display 39 is turned off so that the job division of the copy paper p can be seen. If there is no all-job end signal in step 0, or if the bin copy paper sensor 38 is already OFF in step 0, the process returns to the main routine.

In the illustrated embodiment, one sorter 3 is connected to the electronic copying machine 1, but a plurality of sorters can be connected to the electronic copying machine 1. When a plurality of sorters are connected to the electronic copying machine 1, step 1 of subroutine 7 in FIG.
In this case, N, which is the maximum number of sorter bins, may be changed.

Effects According to the present invention, it is possible to successively copy a plurality of groups of originals with different copying conditions, and it is also possible to calculate and display the total number of copies before copying is performed.
