Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the processing of office work after copying an original by adding marks showing the distribution departments, sorting, etc. when the original is copied. CONSTITUTION:The information on an original read at a reading part 1 is converted into binary electric signals and stored temporarily in an auxiliary storage part 7 via an I/O port 4 and then to a main memory 6. A console 3 confirms weather the information is delivered to all departments. Then the coordinates are set for a mark of all distribution departments, and the coordinates corresponding to the distribution department are read onto the memory 6 out of a stable stored in the part 7. Then the distribution department mark of a prescribed size is written on the memory 6 with the coordinate position defined as a start point and an printing is performed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application] The present invention relates to an adding device for a copying machine, and more particularly to a marking device capable of adding marks such as distribution destination, classification, etc. at the same time as copying a document.

[Prior art]

Generally, if a mark is attached to several copies of the output so that it can be seen at a glance where each copy should be distributed, the person distributing the copy can distribute the copy just by looking at where the mark is. It is clear that this makes it possible to use the software and facilitates distribution.

Furthermore, it is clear that if the classification mark is attached to the periphery of the copy output, even if the copy output overlaps, the classification can be understood as if searching through the pages of a dictionary, and the classification becomes easier.

However, conventional copying machines such as copiers and digital copiers do not have the function of adding information such as distribution destination, classification, etc. to the periphery of the copy output at the same time as copying. For this reason, there was a drawback that administrative processing after copying was inconvenient.

〔the purpose〕

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional apparatus described above, and to simplify post-copy office processing by making it possible to add marks to the peripheral portion of the copy output at the same time as copying. be.

[Summary]

The features of the present invention include a document reading section, a means for storing document information read by the document reading section, a means for storing data for attaching a mark determined in accordance with classification, distribution destination, etc., and an external device. The present invention is provided with a means for composing a mark commanded by a user with one page of document information, and a means for printing the synthesized information.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below by way of examples. First, an outline of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained.

FIG. 1 fat shows an input document to be copied. In this embodiment, the distribution destination of such an input manuscript is inputted in advance into the marking device of the present invention, which will be described later, and when it is copied, a mark corresponding to the distribution destination is created as shown in FIG. You will now be able to obtain a copy of the way you entered. 4 For example, if you are distributing to the Human Resources Department, General Affairs Department, Materials Department, River..., Research Department, etc., as shown in Figure 1 (a), you can distribute the information in advance according to the distribution destination. Decide where to place the mark. For example, on the left side of the copy, from the top, specify the Human Resources Department, the General Affairs Department, the Materials Department, the Music Department, and the Research Department. Then, when the operator specifies the copies that need to be distributed, a mark is added to the position corresponding to the distribution destination and the copies are output, as shown in FIG. 1 (bl).

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention having the marking function as described above. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a reading section, which is composed of, for example, a CCD or the like. 2 is the printing section, and 3 is the operation (subject section) in the con mark. These reading section 1, printing section 2 and console 3 are connected to a processing section via an Ilo port 4. The processing section is CPU5. Main memory 6, auxiliary storage section 7
．． and program ROM 8, etc., which are connected to bus 9.
are tied together. The printing unit 2 is composed of, for example, a laser printer, and prints an output image by combining an input image and a mark. Also, the auxiliary storage section 7
is made up of, for example, a magnetic disk.

FIG. 3 shows a conceptual diagram of the distribution destination table stored in the auxiliary storage section 7. In this table, the coordinate position indicating the starting point of the mark to be written corresponding to the distribution destination is registered. For example, in the human resources department.

The coordinates (X□, yl) on the main memory 6 are registered,
In the case of the general affairs department, the coordinates (x2°y2) on the main memory are registered. This coordinate (XI * y+)'(x,
+1) corresponds to the coordinates of point A1 and point B in FIG. 1 (al), for example.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. First, it is assumed that the distribution destination registration mark coordinates as shown in FIG. 3 have been input into the auxiliary storage section 7 in advance.

Step si... The document information read by the reading unit 1 is 2
The signal is converted into a digitized electrical signal and temporarily stored in the auxiliary storage section 7 via the I10 port 4.

Step S2...The information stored in the auxiliary storage section 7 is
It is moved to main memory 6. As a result, the information to be printed is stored on the main memory 6.

Step S3: It is determined whether the distribution destinations specified by the console 3 are all copies.

Step S4...If the answer is YES in step s3, the coordinates of all distribution destination marks are set.

Steps 85 and 86: If it is determined in step s3 that the distribution destination and number of copies to be distributed are keyed in from the console 3.

Step S7: It is determined whether all key-ins for distribution destinations and number of distribution sheets have been completed. If not, the process returns to step S5, and the key-in of the distribution destination and number of copies is required again. If YES in step S7, the process advances to step S8.

Step S8: The coordinates of the required distribution destination mark are set.

Step S9: A table in which the coordinates corresponding to the first distribution destination are stored in the auxiliary storage unit 7 (see Figure 3)
from the main memory 6. As a result, a distribution destination black mark of the planned size is written on the main memory 6 starting from the coordinate position.

Step 810: Printing is performed.

Step 811: It is determined whether the number of sheets is all, and if no, the process returns to step 810. Step S1
0 and step S11 are repeated to print the required number of copies for one distribution destination.

Step 812: It is determined whether the distribution destination is the last one. If no, the process advances to step 813.

Step 813: Increment the distribution destination and change it to another distribution destination. Subsequently, the procedure from steps 89 to S11 is repeated until the answer in step 812 is YES. If YES in step S12, the process ends.

In the above embodiment, markings were made around the output copy at coordinate positions according to the distribution destination, so that the distribution destination could be easily identified.
You may also write the alphabet. Further, distribution destinations may be distinguished by changing colors.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the output copy.

Since a mark indicating the distribution destination or classification is given, this has the great effect of simplifying the administrative process after copying.
