Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the preparation of copied material by providing a binding margin in an instructed position, displaying a punching position and performing reduction printing when there is no allowance space of the binding margin. CONSTITUTION:When a copied original (k) is placed on the prescribed surface of the electronic copying machine, a paper size detecting part 1 detects the size of the original (k) and that of a copying paper (p). Then, the position of the binding margin of the paper (p) is specified to input copying data, a copying range comparing part 4 checks whether the instructed binding margin position is superposed with sentences on the original (k). In the case of shifting in one direction, a copying data shifting part 6 shifts the original (k), and a printing part 7 copies the original and simultaneously prints a binding hole position (h). When sentences on the original (k) protrude from the paper (p) due to shifting, a copying data reducing part 5 reduces the original (k) to shift it, and copying and the printing of the position (h) are performed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an electronic copying machine that can freely specify the binding margin position according to the size of the copy paper and the copy document size, and can also display punched holes.

(Prior Art) In general, materials copied using an electronic copying machine or the like are usually filed, but for this purpose, the copied manuscript is sometimes shifted to one side on the display surface of the manuscript and copied.

Or, with recent electronic copying machines that have a binding margin function,
It is configured to electronically copy a copy original by shifting it to one side of the copy sheet, for example, the right side, and create a binding margin on the left side.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when copying a manuscript with text written on sheets of paper (including drawings, the same shall apply hereinafter) using such an electronic copying machine, one side of the copying paper contains an electronic copy. If the document is copied in a biased manner, there is a problem in that the text of the document protrudes from the copy paper.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems with electronic copying machines, the present invention prevents the text of a copy JM manuscript from being copied into the binding margin, and at the same time displays the binding hole position (punching position) when printing. The purpose is to provide an electronic copying machine that is possible.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has achieved the above-mentioned objects by providing a paper size detection unit that detects the size of a copy original and copy paper, and a binding system that can arbitrarily specify the binding margin position according to the paper size. a substitute position input section, a copy data input section for inputting copy data read from a copy document, a copy range comparison section for comparing whether the copy data can fit on the copy paper while leaving a binding margin, and the comparison result; When the copy data overlaps the binding margin, a copy data reduction unit reduces the copy data, a copy data shift unit shifts the copy data to one side of the copy paper, and a copy data shifter shifts the copy data to the specified binding margin position. This is accomplished by providing a printing unit that prints the binding holes.

(Function) According to the present invention configured as described above, the binding margin is arbitrarily set according to the paper size, and the punching position is displayed on the binding margin, so that the paper size scale is not engraved. Even if you use a punching machine like this, you can easily punch using the binding hole display mentioned above.Also, even if you are copying a document with no binding margin, you need to be careful about the binding margin because it will be reduced in size. It becomes possible to make copies with a binding margin without having to do so.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an auxiliary diagram for explaining the paper, operations, etc. of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart.

First, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a paper size detection section which detects the paper size of a copy original and the copy paper size necessary for enlarging or reducing. Reference numeral 2 denotes a binding margin position input section, which instructs which of the four sides of the copy sheet p is to be the binding margin position, as shown in FIG. 2(a). 3 is a copy data input section that reads and inputs the text of the copy manuscript; 4 is a copy range comparison section that compares copy paper size, binding margin position, and copy data;
Check whether the binding margin position overlaps with the print range of the copy data. Reference numeral 5 denotes a copy data reduction unit, which reduces the copy data so that the print of the copy data does not protrude from the paper when it is detected that the binding margin position and the copy data overlap in the above-mentioned check by the copy range comparison unit 4. . Reference numeral 6 denotes a copy data shift unit that optically shifts the copy data so that a binding margin can be obtained on the copied paper surface.

In addition, 7 is a printing unit that displays and copies the copy data obtained by each of the above sections with the punching hole position at the specified binding margin position, for example, as shown by h in Fig. 2 (a). .

The electronic copying machine of the present invention has the above configuration, and its operation will be explained with reference to the operation flowchart of FIG.

First, when a copy document is placed on the document display surface of an electronic copying machine, the paper size detection unit 1 detects the size of the copy document and its copy paper (S (step) 1).
Next, as shown in FIG. 2(a), select one of the four sides of the paper p and specify the binding margin position (52), and input the copy data of the copy document (S3). size,
Each data of the binding margin position and copy data is stored in the copy range comparison section 4.
It is checked whether the specified binding margin position overlaps with the copy data (S4), and if it does, it is simply optically shifted to one side, and if the print of the copy data does not protrude from the copy paper. , the copy data is shifted by the shift unit 6 (S5), and if the copy data, that is, the printed text protrudes outside the copy paper due to the above shift, the copy data is reduced by the copy data reduction unit 5 so as not to protrude. After that (S6), the copy data is shifted (S5), and at the same time as copying, the binding hole position is printed by the printing unit 7 (S7), and the copying is completed.

As explained above with reference to one embodiment, the present invention is as shown in FIG.
As in a), it is possible to set a specified binding margin position on the copied paper and print punching hole indications thereon,
Even if the manuscript is a copy with so much writing that there is no room for binding,
By reducing the copy data of the read text, the binding margin position and punch holes can be similarly displayed.

The present invention has been explained above using examples, and FIG. 2(b)
is a diagram to organize the above. First, if the text is written on the copy manuscript g as shown in the dotted line as shown in Figure (1), then the figure (
2), the image is optically shifted to one side and copied. At that time, as shown in Figure (3), the punching hole position [h
is printed. In addition, when there is text written almost completely on the copy manuscript g as shown in Figure (4), the copied data that has been read is appropriately reduced, and a binding margin is provided and punched holes are created as shown in Figure (5). Display printing of digit mh will be performed.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the detailed explanation above, the present invention has (a)
Punching holes can be displayed by setting a binding margin position at a specified position on copy paper, and (b) the specified binding margin position does not overlap with copy data, that is, copy data is not copied at the binding margin position. Thus, it is possible to optically shift and copy copy data. Furthermore, (e) even if a copy document does not have a binding margin left, the read copy data is reduced and the binding margin position is secured and the copy is made, for example.

There are benefits to implementing it.
