Claims (12)

WHAT WE CLAIM IS '
1. In a reproduction system for producing and collating copies from a set of documents including a processor and a sorter, the sorter having at least one copy storage section with ■a predetermined number of copy receiving trays, the improvement compri s ing : . program means for presetting the number of copies of the set of documents to be made by the processor in a reproduction operation: and control means responsive to programming of the reproduction system for a copy number greater than said predetermined tray number to limit the number of copies made of the document set by the processor at any one time to no more than said predetermined tray number.
2. The reproduction system according to claim 1 in which said control means includes means responsive to the presence of copies in said storage section adapted on clearing of copies from that section to override the control means and enable subsequent copies to be placed in said section.
3. The reproduction system according to claim 1 further including a document handler for presenting one document at a time from the set of documents for reproduction by said processor, said control means being adapted to actuate said document handler to present the next document in the set for reproduction each time said prede ermined tray number is reached during the document set reproduction.
4. The reproduction system according to claim 3 in which said control means is adapted to actuate said document handler until all the documents in the set have been produced
5. The reproduction system according to claim 4 further including a second sorter. section having a predetermined number of copy receiving trays, said control means being adapted to direct copies of the recirculated document set into said second sorter section.
6. The reproduction system according to claim 4 further including at least one additional sorter section having a predetermined number of copy receiving trays, said control means being adapted to direct copies of each recirculated document set alternately to one or the other of said tray sections until the total number of document set copies programmed are made.
7. The reproduction system according to claim 6 in which said control means includes means responsive to the presence of copies in either of said sorter sections adapted on clearing of copies from that section to condition the same for receipt of subsequent copies.
8. In a reproduction system for producing and collat copies of a set of documents including a processor, a document handler, and a sorter, the sorter having at least two copy storage sections each with a predetermined number of copy trays, the combination of: counter means for presetting the number of copies to be made, control means in response to said presetting arranged to actuate the document handler to present one document at a time to the processor for copying the document, and to actuate the sorter rom each document to place each copy produced/in a different one of said trays, means responsive to setting of said counter means to a number of copies exceedinq said predetermined number of trays to operate said processor to make copies of each document in groups equal to or less than said predetermined number, said last named means being adapted to operate the document handler to recirculate the set of documents the number of times required to produce the preset number of copies and means for directing the copies to a" different sorter section after each of said groups is completed.
9. In the method of reproducing and collating multiple sets of documents from a reproduction system having a printing apparatus, counter control means therefor and at least one sorter section, in accordance with a. copy program wherein the number of copies of a document set preset in the counter control means exceed the number of sorting trays in the sorter section, comprising the step of producing copies of document sets in successive groups, each of which " is no greater than the number of sorting trays in the sorter section until the entire preset number of sets has been produced and collated.
10. A system as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 8 whe ein the processor includes an exposure station comprising at leesf one lamp responsive to control signals from said control means.
11. Ά system as claimed in claim 10 wherein said lamp is coupled to an exposure counter for controlling the number of exposures- in ' s predetermine period.
12. Each and every novel invention hereinbefore disclosed. For the Applicants DR. fc!XHOLD COH'M AND PA -WHiS
