  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of an image forming apparatus (digital PPC) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  In the figure, a document bundle placed on the document table 2 in the automatic document feeder (hereinafter referred to as ADF) 1 with the image surface of the document facing upward is displayed when the print key 34 on the operation unit 30 is pressed. The lowermost document is fed to a predetermined position on the contact glass 6 by the feeding roller 3 and the feeding belt 4.

  Further, this image forming apparatus has a counting function for counting up the number of originals upon completion of feeding one original.

  After the fed original is read by the reading unit 50 on the image data of the original on the contact glass 6, the original that has been read is discharged by the feeding belt 4 and the discharge roller 5.

  Further, when it is detected by the document set detection 7 that the next document is present on the document table 2, the document is fed onto the contact glass 6 in the same manner as the previous document.

  The feeding roller 3, the feeding belt 4, and the discharging roller 5 are driven by a conveyance motor 26.

  The transfer papers stacked on the first tray 8, the second tray 9, and the third tray 10 are fed by the first paper feeding device 11, the second paper feeding device 12, and the third paper feeding device 13, respectively, and are conveyed vertically. The unit 14 is transported to a position where it abuts on the photoreceptor 15.

  The image data read by the reading unit 50 is written on the photoconductor 15 by the laser from the writing unit 57 and passes through the developing unit 27 to form a toner image.

  Then, the toner image on the photoconductor 15 is transferred while the transfer paper is conveyed by the conveyance belt 16 at the same speed as the rotation of the photoconductor 15. Thereafter, the image is fixed by the fixing unit 17 and discharged to the finisher 100 of the post-processing apparatus by the paper discharge unit 18.

  The finisher 100 of the post-processing apparatus can usually guide the transfer paper conveyed by the paper discharge roller 19 of the main body toward the paper discharge roller 102 or toward the staple processing unit.

  By switching the switching plate 101 upward, the sheet can be discharged to the normal discharge tray 104 side via the transport roller 103.

  Further, by switching the switching plate 101 downward, it can be conveyed to the staple table 108 via the conveying rollers 105 and 107.

  The transfer paper loaded on the staple table 108 is aligned by the paper jogger 109 every time one sheet is discharged, and is bound by the stapler 106 upon completion of partial copying. The group of transfer sheets bound by the stapler 106 is stored in the staple completion discharge tray 110 by its own weight.

  On the other hand, the normal paper discharge tray 104 is a paper discharge tray that can move back and forth. The paper discharge tray section 104 that can be moved back and forth moves forward and backward for each original or each copy section sorted by the image memory, and sorts copy paper that is simply discharged.

  When forming an image on both sides of the transfer paper, the transfer paper fed from each of the paper feed trays 8 to 10 is not guided to the paper discharge tray 104 side, and the branch claw 112 for switching the path is used. By setting it on the upper side, it is once stocked in the duplex feeding unit 111.

  Thereafter, the transfer paper stocked on the double-sided paper feeding unit 111 is re-fed from the double-sided paper feeding unit 111 to transfer the toner image formed on the photosensitive member 15 again, and the branching claw 112 for switching the path. Is set on the lower side and guided to the paper discharge tray 104.

  In this way, the duplex feeding unit 111 is used when creating images on both sides of the transfer sheet. Also, when printing on the back side of the transfer paper on which an image is placed, the front and back sides of the transfer paper are changed using the double-sided paper feed unit 111.

  The photoreceptor 15, the transport belt 16, the fixing unit 17, the paper discharge unit 18, and the development unit 27 are driven by a main motor 25. Driven by transmission. The vertical conveyance unit 14 is driven to transmit the drive of the main motor 25 by the intermediate clutch 21.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the operation unit 30.

  The operation unit 30 includes a liquid crystal touch panel 31, a numeric keypad 32, a clear / stop key 33, a print key 34, a preheat key 35, a reset key 36, and an initial setting key 37. The liquid crystal touch panel 31 includes various function keys and image formation. A message indicating the status of the device is displayed.

  When the operator touches a key displayed on the liquid crystal touch panel 31, the key indicating the selected function is inverted in black. When the details of the function must be designated (for example, the type of page printing), the detailed function setting screen is displayed by touching the key. Thus, since the liquid crystal touch panel uses a dot display, it is possible to graphically perform the optimal display at that time.

  By pressing the initial setting key 37, it is possible to arbitrarily customize the initial state of the machine. It is possible to set the paper size stored in the machine or arbitrarily set the state set when the copy function reset key is pressed.

  Also, select applications that are preferentially selected when there is no operation for a certain period of time, set the transition time to low power according to the International Energy Star Program, and set the transition time to auto-off / sleep mode. It is possible to set.

  When the preheating key 35 is pressed, the machine shifts from the standby state to the power reduction state, and the fixing temperature is lowered or the display on the operation unit is turned off. The preheating state means a low power state as referred to in the International Energy Star Program. In order to cancel the preheating state, the off state / sleep state, and shift to the standby state, the preheating key is pressed again.

  By pressing the copy key 38, the copy function can be used. In addition, the copy server key 39 is used to edit existing stored image data (copy mode setting, printing, deleting). The scanner application key 41 is used when storing a document in a storage device inside the apparatus, when transmitting an input image read from the scanner, stored image data, or the like to the outside.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the display on the liquid crystal touch panel 31 of the operation unit 30.

  When the operator touches a key displayed on the liquid crystal touch panel 31, the key indicating the selected function is inverted in black.

  In addition, when it is necessary to specify the details of the function (for example, if it is variable magnification, the variable magnification value, etc.), the detailed function setting screen is displayed by touching the key. Thus, since the liquid crystal touch panel uses a dot display, it is possible to graphically perform the optimal display at that time.

  In FIG. 3, the upper left is a message area for displaying messages such as “Ready to copy” and “Please wait”, the right is a copy number display section for displaying the set number of sheets, and an automatic sheet for automatically selecting a transfer sheet Select key, sort key that specifies processing to arrange copies in order of pages, stack key that specifies processing to sort copies by page, staple key that specifies processing to bind sorted items partly, and magnification Same size key to set the same size, Scaling key to set the enlargement / reduction ratio, Double side key to set the duplex mode, Edit key to set the binding margin mode, etc. Cover page / Slip sheet to set the cover / interleaf mode This is a connection mode key that prints out a large number of printing operations divided into a plurality of parts via a network of keys and digital copying machines.

  In addition, a paper feed tray state corresponding to the number of paper feed trays is displayed, and keys for manually setting the paper feed tray are displayed for the number of paper feed trays.

  FIG. 4 illustrates the control device with the main controller as the center.

  The main controller 20 controls the entire image forming apparatus.

  The main controller 20 includes image processing for performing display to the operator, an operation unit 30 for performing function setting input control from the operator, control of the scanner, control for writing a document image into the image memory, control for image formation from the image memory, and the like. A distributed control device such as a unit (IPU) 49 and an automatic document feeder (ADF) 1 is connected. Each distributed controller and the main controller 20 exchange machine status and operation commands as necessary.

  A main motor 25 and various clutches 21 to 24 necessary for paper conveyance and the like are also connected.

  Here, referring back to FIG. 1, the process from reading the original of the image forming apparatus to writing of the image will be described.

  The reading unit 50 includes a contact glass 6 on which an original is placed and an optical scanning system. The optical scanning system includes an exposure lamp 51, a first mirror 52, a lens 53, a CCD image sensor 54, and the like. Yes.

  The exposure lamp 51 and the first mirror 52 are fixed on a first carriage (not shown), and the second mirror 55 and the third mirror 56 are fixed on a first carriage (not shown). When reading a document image, the first carriage and the second carriage are mechanically operated at a relative speed of 2 to 1 so that the optical path length does not change.

  This optical scanning system is driven by a scanner drive motor (not shown). The document image is read by the CCD image sensor 54, converted into an electrical signal, and processed.

  The writing unit 57 includes a laser output unit 58, an imaging lens 59, and a mirror 60. Inside the laser output unit 58, a polygon mirror (polygon mirror) that rotates at a high speed at a high speed by a laser diode that is a laser light source and a motor. ).

  The laser beam output from the writing unit 57 is applied to the image forming photoconductor 15. Although not shown, a beam sensor for generating a main scanning synchronization signal is disposed at a position where a laser beam near one end of the photoconductor 15 is irradiated.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the internal configuration of the image processing unit (IPU) 49.

  The reflection of light emitted from the exposure lamp 51 is photoelectrically converted by the CCD image sensor 54 and converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 61.

  The image signal converted into the digital signal is subjected to shading correction 62 and then subjected to MTF correction, γ correction and the like in the image processing unit 63.

  Thereafter, the image data input via the print composition unit 71 is supplied to the zoom circuit 76 or the image memory controller 65 by switching, and the image signal via the zoom circuit 77 is matched with the zoom ratio. The image is enlarged / reduced and sent to the writing unit 57.

  On the other hand, the image memory controller 65 and the selector 64 are configured to be able to input and output image signals in both directions.

  Although not specifically shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the image data input from the reading unit 50, the IPU 49 also supplies image data supplied from the outside via the I / O port 67, such as a personal computer. It is assumed that a function for selecting input / output of a plurality of data is provided so that data input from the data processing apparatus can also be processed.

  Further, a CPU 68 for setting the image memory controller 65 and the like and controlling the reading unit 50 and the writing unit 57, and a ROM 69, a RAM 70, and an NV-RAM 74 for storing programs and data thereof are provided.

  Further, the CPU 68 can write and read data in the image memory 66 via the memory controller 65. The image sent to the image memory controller 65 as a document image is sent to the image memory 66 after the image data is compressed by an image compression device in the image memory controller.

  Here, the reason for compressing the image is as follows. Although it is possible to directly write 256 gradation data corresponding to the maximum image size to the image memory 66, the image memory is very much used for one original image. Therefore, by performing image compression, a limited image memory can be used effectively.

  In addition, since a large amount of original image data can be stored at one time, the stored original image data can be output in page order as a sorting function.

  In this case, when the image is output, the data in the image memory 66 is output while being sequentially expanded by the expansion device in the memory controller 65.

  Such a function is generally called “electronic sort”. Further, by using the function of the image memory, it is possible to sequentially read a plurality of document images into an area obtained by dividing the area of one transfer sheet of the image memory.

  For example, four original images are sequentially written into an area divided into four equal parts for one transfer paper in the image memory, and the four copy originals are combined into a single transfer paper image to produce a consolidated copy output. Can be obtained. Such a function is generally called “aggregate copy”.

  The image stored in the image memory 66 can be accessed from the CPU 68. For this reason, the contents of the image memory can be processed, and for example, image thinning processing, image clipping processing, and the like can be performed. For processing, the image memory can be processed by writing data to the register of the memory controller 65.

  The processed image is again held in the image memory. The image memory 66 is divided into a plurality of areas depending on the size of the image data to be processed, and the image data can be input / output simultaneously. In order to make it possible to execute input and output of image data in parallel in each divided area, the interface with the memory controller is connected with two sets of address and data lines for reading and writing.

  Thus, an operation of outputting (reading) an image from the area 2 while inputting (writing) the image to the area 1 is possible.

  The image memory 66 may be provided with a separate hard disk to store a large amount of image data. By using a hard disk, there is a feature that an external power source is unnecessary and an image can be retained permanently. In order to read and hold a plurality of standard documents (format documents) with a scanner, this hard disk is generally used.

  Writing and reading are temporarily stored in the image memory and processed in order to absorb the difference in processing speed with respect to image formation on the main body and image writing from the scanner. Further, when data from the image storage device is sent to the writing unit 57, it is temporarily stored in the image memory 66 and sent to the writing unit 57. In this way, the image controller 66 determines the image path for the image memory 66, HD 75, scanner image, and input / output of the image to be sent to the writing unit.

  As described above, the CPU 68 determines the input and output of the image data, so that the memory controller 65 connected to the CPU can switch the image flow.

  Here, an image signal for one page in the selector 64 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The frame gate signal / FGATE ((b) in the figure) represents the effective period in the sub-scanning direction of one page of image data. The main scanning synchronization signal / LSYNC ((a) in the figure) is a main scanning synchronization signal for each line, and the image signal becomes valid at a predetermined clock after this signal rises. A signal indicating that the image signal in the main scanning direction is valid is a line gate signal / LGATE ((f) in the figure).

  These signals are synchronized with the pixel clock VCLK ((d) in the figure), and data of 8 bits per pixel (256 gradations) is sent for one period of the pixel clock VCLK. In this embodiment, the writing density on the transfer paper is 400 dpi, and the maximum number of pixels is 4800 pixels for main scanning and 6800 pixels for sub-scanning. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the image data becomes a white image as the value is closer to 255.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the printing function is performed after the image memory 66 (print composition unit 71), and printing is added to each transfer sheet.

  FIG. 7 shows a system configuration diagram in the present apparatus.

  Each application (copy application 81, document box application 82, scanner application 83, fax application 84, etc.) is activated in parallel and operates independently.

  The operation unit controller 85, peripheral device controller 86, image forming device controller 87, image reading device controller 88, and memory unit 89, which are shared resources of the system, are arbitrated by the system controller 90 and assigned to each application.

  Each application can write the operation screen information on the virtual screen provided by the operation unit controller 85. The operation unit controller 85 expands the screen information of the virtual screen of the operation unit owner application instructed from the system controller 90 on the real screen. When an external image memory is provided, the external image memory is connected to a connection port of the SCSI controller 91, and the external image memory is controlled by the SCSI controller 91.

  Next, an operation example by this apparatus will be described.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the file name / format operation screen of the scanner application 83.

  On this screen, a button for designating a file format, a feedback display for designating a file name and a start number to be added to the file name, and a button for changing the same are provided. The file name and start number can be entered by pressing the change button.

  The start number can be specified only when the file format is single page. If the file name is not specified, the file name is automatically generated and given from the date and time.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a warning display when the file name number reaches the upper limit. Here, when the cancel button on this display screen is pressed, the read data is erased and transmission is not performed. When the continuation button is pressed, a file is generated up to the read data and transmitted.

  Here, the transmission destination is a folder or the like provided in a personal computer device or the like on a network designated in advance.

  FIG. 10 shows a double-sided document setting screen.

  The original side setting includes a single-side original button and a double-side original button. When the double-sided document button is designated, the opening direction and double-sided last page buttons are displayed and can be set.

  If all the originals are double-sided originals, the double-sided final page setting is also set to double-sided. FIG. 11 shows a document image when the final document is double-sided.

  The operation of determining the upper limit of the file name number when setting the double-sided original final page duplex will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In this process, it is determined whether double-sided document setting is performed (step S101). If it is not set, the process is exited.

  If double-sided document setting has been performed, it is determined whether or not a document has been set in ADF 1 (step S102). If no document has been set, this process is exited.

  If a document is set, it is determined whether the file number is two or more smaller than the upper limit value (step S103).

  If the file number is two or more smaller than the upper limit value, it is determined that the upper limit value is not reached on both the first and second sides of the double-sided document, and document conveyance is started (step S104).

  If the file number is not two or more smaller than the upper limit value, it is considered that the upper limit is reached on the first or second side of the double-sided document, and a warning is displayed (step S105).

  Thus, in this case, when the double-sided original is read, if the upper limit of the file name number is reached on the second side, the first side and the second side of the original are separated from each other by not carrying the original itself. Can be prevented.

  FIG. 13 shows a setting screen for the single-sided last page of a double-sided document. If the last page of the document is single-sided, the double-sided final page setting is set to single-sided. FIG. 14 shows a document image when the final document is one-sided.

  The operation of determining the upper limit of the file name number when setting the single-sided side of the double-sided original document will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In this process, it is determined whether double-sided document setting is performed (step S201). If it is not set, this process is exited.

  If double-sided document setting has been performed, it is determined whether or not a document has been set in ADF 1 (step S202). If no document has been set, this process is exited.

  If a document is set, it is determined whether the file number is two or more smaller than the upper limit value (step S203).

  If the file number is two or more smaller than the upper limit value, it is determined that the upper limit value is not reached on both the first and second sides of the double-sided document, and document conveyance is started (step S204).

  If the file number is not two or more smaller than the upper limit value, it is determined whether the final page single-sided setting is set (step S205).

  If the final page is set to one side, it is determined whether the file number is one smaller than the upper limit value (step S206).

  If the file number is one smaller than the upper limit value, it is determined that the upper limit value is not reached on the first side of the double-sided document, and document conveyance is started (step S204).

  If the final page is not set to single-sided or the file number is not one smaller than the upper limit value, it is considered that the upper limit is reached on the first or second side of the double-sided document, and a warning is displayed (step S207). .

  In this way, in this case, if the final single-sided side of the double-sided original is set, the final single-sided original can be prevented from becoming another file by carrying the original.

  FIG. 16 shows a setting screen for specifying the number of divided documents. Here, a file divided for each input number of documents is generated.

  The operation for determining the upper limit of the file name number at the time of document division setting will be described with reference to FIG.

  In this process, it is determined whether or not document division is set (step S301). If it is not set, this process is exited.

  If document division setting has been performed, the number of divided pages (Pg) is stored (step S302).

  It is determined whether the document is set on the ADF 1 (step S303). If the document is not set, the process is exited.

  If a document is set, it is determined whether the file number is a value smaller than the upper limit value by a number of divided pages (step S304).

  If the file number is smaller than the upper limit value by the number of divided pages or more, it is determined that the upper limit value is not reached within the divided page of the document division, and the document conveyance is started (step S305).

  If the file number is not a value smaller than the upper limit value by the number of divided pages, it is considered that the upper limit is reached in the divided pages of the document division, and a warning is displayed (step S306).

  In this way, in this case, when the upper limit of the file name number is reached in the middle of the number of pages specified in the document division, the division unit becomes a separate file by not carrying the original document for the first division. Can be prevented.
