Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a mistake in order of procedures and operation itself, by combining a figure illustrating constituent elements with buttons for selecting said elements, and concentrating said buttons in one place so as to arrange the figure in accordance with the actual positions of these elements. CONSTITUTION:In the figure, 10 is illustrating figure elements in the main body of a copying machine, and operation displays combining said elements with selection buttons are concentrated to the elements 10 and arranged on a display panel 20, where 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are components of an operation display, i.e. an ADF, a sorter, a magnification controller, a paper feed selector, and an optional paper feed selector, respectively.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an operation display device used in an electrostatic recording device,
More specifically, one of the *power elements attached to or equipped with the electrostatic recording device is selected and displayed on an operation display device that displays the selected state.

In electrostatic recording devices such as electrophotography, for example, the AD7 is an automatic feeder for copying originals, a sorter has a salt function for discharging ejected paper, and a magnification conversion function when copying originals. Many 11!1.llk cassettes, etc. to accommodate variable size, multi-IJIliI copying costs. It has come to have a Therefore, the user of the electrostatic recording device is troubled by the selective operation method, which may lead to erroneous operation or confusion.

First, regarding the conventional example, let's take the case of Mu DF selection as an example.
Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the selection button 1 and the display portion 2t are provided at independent locations, and are sometimes located quite apart. If you press the D11 selection button now, the display will light up indicating that D1 has been selected. In other words, after the user finds the selection button he or she needs from among a large number of selection buttons, the user presses that button to make the necessary selection, and a lamp located away from the selection button lights up or is displayed. It is sometimes served. For this reason, the user often needs to perform the selection operation after reading the instruction manual or display about the function of the insect selection button.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the drawbacks of conventional operation display devices that can confuse users or cause erroneous operations. In the operation display device that selects a constituent element and displays its selection state, a selection button for selecting the constituent moxibustion element has an armpit *
This is achieved by an operation display device that combines pictures showing the elements and has selection buttons concentrated in one place so that the I&picture group is arranged according to the position of the component.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

IN2! i! 3 shows a positive #J diagram of an embodiment of the operation display device according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes the IIk diagram element of the main body of the copying machine, in which an operation display device that combines component pictures and selection buttons is arranged in a concentrated manner on the display panel. In other words, 11 is a programmer D'l, 12 is a sorter, 13 is a magnification changer, 14 is a paper feed selection, and 15 is an operation display device for selecting a first paper. In the illustrated second wA, the ADPm production screen display device 11 button is selected, and the diagonal line indicates that it is lit.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a sectional view of the operation display device, and the display panel is located at a location on the front or top surface of the electrostatic recording device where it can be easily observed and operated by the user. 21
1 is made of a light-diffusing material such as plastic, and is a component diagram of a DF 11, for example.

The keypad 721 also serves as an operation button for the selection switch SW on the one-lint board 4 provided with a certain gap from the display panel, and a compressed return spring 23 is attached between the keypad 721 and the selection switch 8W. It is under pressure. Also 1
There is a small lamp 1L on the lint board n, and -1125 provided at the audible part between the display panel gloss and the lint board 22 forms a lamp house, and when the small lamp L is lit, for example, the lamp D
The key number 721 containing the component am such as F11 is illuminated from behind to indicate that it has been selected. The selection switch SW is brought into the closed state by pressing the middle top 21, but when the hand is released, the key lever 721 is pushed up by the action of the return spring 23 and returned to the open state.

11411 shows this control circuit, and by pressing the selection switch at, an alternate operation is performed, and the path selection number 810'ttOIJ-011 is alternately sent to the copying machine main body.
do. In addition, in synchronization with the ON of the selection signal +1110, the bean lamp L lights up, illuminating the component picture key 121, and in synchronization with the oyy of the universal selection signal S engineering G, the bean lamp 1-t is turned on.
! This is a circuit that quenches light.

Power ON'J 7-bit circuit section is 7-bit circuit when power is turned on.
This is to set the τ output of the power supply 03 to H level, and when the power is turned on, the lamp L does not light up through the inverter 04. If you press the selection switch SV now, 7 liters 17 will be generated via the Shemite trigger inverter XOI with the waveform ll type.
Signal goes to 0tsupue 03゛Select No.
In the state 1i1 (tH# level state II), the lamp L is also set to the lighting state and continues this lying motion. When the selection switch SW is pressed again, the selection signal SxG is reset and the lamp L is turned off.] By using the operation display device described above, there is no need to impose operating procedures or perform erroneous operations. be able to.

In this embodiment, the structure is such that the selected component 1g & 1,000-top is focused by the lamp, but the structure is of course not limited to this, and a light emitting diode or the like may be used instead of the lamp. Alternatively, it is also possible to use a w structure in which the component diagrams themselves emit light using electroluminescence.

It is also possible to have a key top structure that uses a transmissive liquid crystal display element in the component diagram, and it is also possible to have a structure that uses a reflective liquid crystal display element and omit the light source. .
