  • FIG. 1 has been referred to generally in order to provide the environment in which the present invention may be found useful.
  • the particular modules indicated as comprising the reproducing apparatus 2 of FIG. I do not in themselves constitute part of the present invention.

  • the desired numbers of copies to be made and sorted are encoded from their original decimal form into binary information by a conventional decimal-to-binary encoder (D/B) 14.
  • D/B decimal-to-binary encoder
  • the information entered via the keyboard is placed either in a copy memory 16 or a sort memory 18.
  • the numbers entered via the keyboard into the copy and sort memories may be different depending upon the amount of sorted copies desired.
  • Motor control logic circuitry generally designated by the reference numeral 24 is also shown in FIG. 2 as deriving information from the keyboard and control panel. These circuits which form no part of the present invention may be utilized to initiate motive forces within the exposure and development module 8, the sorter apparatus 4, and various other feeding mechanisms in the reproducing apparatus 2 shown in FIG. 1.

  • This portion of the reproducing apparatus is shown symbolically in FIG. 3 where the record sheet supply bin 28 and the sorter apparatus 4 are illustrated in block form and intermediate therewith is a broken line 30 used to generally designate the transport path taken by a record sheet and as itproceeds from its supply bin 28 to the sorter apparatus 4.
  • copy used as a noun will refer to a completed facsimile of an original document which will be found in the reproducing apparatus of FIG. 1 immediately prior to entry into the sorter apparatus.
  • the copy has on its surface a fused and fixed toner image of an original document and is suitable for handling by personnel and further utilization. All other record sheets along the transport path, as illustrated in FIG. 3, will be referred to simply as record sheets. It is understood that these sheets may be simply ordinary sheets of paper, or they may have transferred toner fingers may take the form of a light source and photocell, a
  • the mechanical finger 32 is utilized to detect each record sheet as it enters the transport path 30.
  • the next three mechanical fingers 34 for example, in successive sequence along the transport path toward the sorter apparatus 4 are utilized to provide three inputs in the form of electrical signals to a jam detector circuit, generally designated by the reference numeral 36.
  • a jam detector circuit generally designated by the reference numeral 36.
  • another mechanical finger 40 which detects copies as they egress from the transport path 30 for further manipulation by the sorter apparatus 4.
  • a terminal 42 To this terminal 42 there may be applied pulses, each pulse indicative of a sheet being supplied from the record sheet bin 28 to the transport path via, for example, rollers 44. Such pulses could be generated by suitable sensing means positioned immediately prior to entry into the transport path.
  • the jarn detector circuit 36 may comprise as many conventional AND gates as there are sensors 34 for detecting coincidence between the actuation of a particular sensor 34 and the expiration of a predetermined time interval.
  • a timer either of conventional electronic or mechanical design may be as sociated with a sensor or finger 34 so as to be actuated thereby when the latter detects a record sheet at a particular location in the transport path 30.
  • these timers are designed as a function of the speed of the record sheets along the transport path and the distance between the mechanical fingers 34.
  • a first record sheet initiates a pulse at terminal 42 which pulse will, for example, actuate a relay to begin a timer.
  • a pulse is generated thereby which should substantially coincide in time with a similar pulse generated by the aforementioned first record sheet actuating thefirst mechanical finger 34. If this coincidence is not present, then a jam condition is sensed by the jam detector 36 since this first record sheet did not proceed normally along the transport path.
  • the actuation of the first finger can further be utilized to begin a second timer and thiscycle of operation can be repeated for each mechanical finger 34.
  • a particular time tolerance may be provided in the aforementioned timers to insure that a false jam detection signal is not generated because of a very minimum delay in a record sheet moving along the transport path. In this manner, exact and precise timing is not a prerequisite for accurate jam detection. Because of the machine timing, the speed of the transport path and the selected positions of the mechanical fingers along this path, the above described technique for detecting some type of record sheet feeding malfunction or abnormal condition is very effective.
  • the jam detecting circuit will detect a failure of the record sheets to proceed orderly along the transport path between the record sheet supply bin 28 and the sorter apparatus 4. If a malfunction in this process occurs, the jam detecting circuit will detect the same and generate an electrical signal at its output which, as shown in FIG. 3, is supplied as one input to AND gates 48 and 50.
  • the first mechanical finger 32 which detects a record sheet as it enters the transport path supplies a pulse to a record sheet counter 52 which may be of any conventional design.
  • the mechanical finger 40 which detects each copy as it egresses from the transport path and into the sorter apparatus 4, provides a pulse for each copy detected to a copy counter 54 which may be of similar design as the record sheet counter 52.
  • the contents of the record sheet counter 52 and the copy counter 54 are monitored by conventional coincidence detectors 56 and 58, respectively. These coincidence detectors 56 and 58 monitor the number present in the record sheet counter 52 and the copy counter 54 in relation to a number stored in the copy memory 16 which may be a conventional binary register.
  • the input to this copy memory 16 is directly from the aforementioned keyboard 12 which is found in the control panel 10 in the control module 6 of the reproducing apparatus of FIG. 1.
  • the coincidence detector 56 detects a coincidence in the number registered in the record sheet counter 52 and the number stored in the copy memory 16, an output signal indicative of this comparison is generated and supplied to one input to a conventional reversible counter 60. This signal registers a count in this reversible counter 60 in one direction.
  • the coincidence detector 58 detects a coincidence between the number registered in the copy counter 54 and the number stored in the copy memory 16, an output signal is generated indicative of this coincidence and this signal is supplied to another input of the reversible counter 60 to register a count in a direction opposite the aforementioned direction.
  • the output of this reversible counter is monitored by the AND gate 48 which, upon enabling by a signal from the jam detecting circuit 36 hereinabove described, will pass the count registered in the reversible counter via a binary-todecimal (BID) encoder 68 to a suitable display device 20.
  • BID binary-todecimal
  • coincidence signals generated by coincidence detectors 56 and 58 are further utilized to reset the record sheet counter 52 and the copy counter 54, respectively.
  • the coincidence signal generated by the coincidence detector 56 which monitors the record sheet counter 52 may be also used as a control signal to an appropriate control circuit which is designated in FIG. 3 as an original advance circuit 62. This circuit will actuate the necessary motors and gears to advance the next original document to be copied into an exposure zone at the exposure and development module 8 of the reproducing apparatus 2 of FIG. I.
  • the signal from the jam detecting circuit 36 also enables one input of the AND gate 50.
  • the other input of this AND gate is supplied from a jam restart control circuit 64 which may be included to reenergize the motor portion of the reproducing apparatus of FIG. 1 after a shut down subsequent to a jam detection.
  • the output from this AND gate 50 which is enabled when a jam situation has occurred and the jam restart control circuit is activated, provides a transfer or equalizing signal to an appropriate transfer circuit 66 which, in effect, equalizes the count then presently registered at the time of the jam in the record sheet counter to that count registered in the copy counter 54.
  • the record sheet counter 52 is counting, in effect, the number of copies which are possible only if a jam does not occur.
  • the copy counter meanwhile is counting the number of copies which have been retrieved from the exposure and development module as completed.
  • a count is entered in the reversible counter 60 in one direction, for example, up. If all goes well and no jam or record sheet feed malfunction occurs before these sheets become copies, the copy counter 54 will register a count identical to the count stored in the copy memory 16. This will generate a pulse from the coincidence detector 58 which will enter a count in the reversible counter 60 in the down direction.
  • the count in the reversible counter 60 is reduced or counted down once to zero. This operation of entering a one count in counter 60 in the up direction and then reducing or counting this counter down by one count occurs in the simple case when the number desired copies per original document is greater than the number of record sheets which the transport path 30 can accommodate.
  • the first copy of the first original document enters a one count in counter 54. Substantially simultaneously with the egress of this first copy, the eighth record sheet enters the transport path. Shortly thereafter a second copy of the first original document enters the sorter apparatus 4 and increases the count in counter 54 to two. The ninth record sheet then enters the transport path increasing the count in counter 52 to three which in turn provides a coincidence with the number in copy memory 16 thereby adding a count to the reversible counter 60. This coincidence also allows the fourth original document to advance to the exposure position.
  • counter 54 has its count increased to three. This three count coincides with the contents of the copy memory 16 and coincidence detector provides an output pulse which reduces the three count previously registered in the reversible counter 60 to two. This output pulse from the coincidence detector 58 also resets the copy counter 54 to zero.
  • the tenth record sheet enters the transport path and registers a one count in the record sheet counter 52.
  • the first copy of the second original exists from the transport path thereby entering a one count in counter 54.
  • Counter 52 has detected the entry into the transport path of the eleventh record sheet.
  • This backing up of the original documents may, for example, be performed by a suitable original backup control circuit 70 which actuates the original advance control circuit 62 in a reverse mode or may be done manually.
  • a control signal from this backup control circuit 70 may be utilized to reset the reversible counter 60 to zero.
  • the operator may also remove all seven record sheets in the transport path and clear the jam wherever it may be. Without counting the number of damaged or partially processed record sheets which were removed from the transport path, the operator may now simply actuate a jam restart switch, for example, which actuates the jam restart circuit 64. When this is done, the machine is reactivated and the contents or the number stored in the copy counter 54, one in the example, is transferred via the now energized transfer circuit 66 to the record sheet counter 52. After this transfer, the record sheet counter now has stored in it the number which the copy counter 54 had registered before the jam occurred, viz., one. The machine then begins its cycle once again and the twelfth and thirteenth record sheets successively enter the transport path 30.
  • a jam restart switch for example, which actuates the jam restart circuit 64.
  • the record sheet counter indicates a three count which provides a coincidence pulse to the reversible counter 60 which steps up this counter one to a three count.
  • the second original document advances presenting the third original document.
  • the copy counter which has now counted the first copy of the second original document as received prior to the jam, will now detect the remaining two copies of the second original document and provide a coincidence signal which steps the reversible counter down one count to one. As this is being done, more sheets may successively enter the transport path stepping the reversible counter up. If these are received as copies in the sorter apparatus, a coincidence signal from the coincidence detector 58 will step the reversible counter down. This cycle will then repeat itself for as many original documents and copies as desired.
  • the counter 60 would react as follows: every third record sheet detected by sensor 32 would add one to the counter 60, while every third copy detected by sensor 40 would subtract one from the count of the counter 60. Therefore, the count in the counter 60 would proceed as 0, l, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2,,.... 3, 2, l, 0. This, of course, assumes that three copies per original document are desired.
  • the circuit of FIG. 3 enables the operator upon the occurrence of a jam in the record sheet feed mechanism, or any other mechanism moving the record sheets along the transport path, to easily and without complication remove the jammed record sheets as well as any other record sheets which are in the transport path without having to count or examine any of the record sheets or copies to determine which original documents have been copied and how many additional copies need to be made. Also, the operator may then recycle the operation of the machine while maintaining a perfect copy distribution in the sorter apparatus as well as a correct copy number.
  • FIG. 3 Although the system of FIG. 3 has been described in the environment of a xerographic reproduction apparatus, it is apparent that its application is not limited thereto and is easily adaptable to various types of reproduction apparatus.
