Abstract

PURPOSE:To discharge and contain discriminately the paper recorded by different recording modes by detecting interruptive recording, detecting the empty bins of sorters, and distributing and containing the interruptively recorded paper into the empty bin. CONSTITUTION:When it is detected that a recording mode is interruptive recording, the numbers of the empty bins of sorters are detected by the retrieval, etc. of the set content for copying the memory region in the control part of a copying machine by way of CPU. Sheets of interruptive recorded paper distributed and stored in the empty bins in response to CPU control. As a result, the paper recorded by different recording modes such as normal recording mode, interruptive recording mode, or the like are thus discriminately discharged and contained. The excess number of sheets exceeding the number of the sheets containable in the containing bins for the recording paper by the interruptive recording is contained into a discharge tray 4 under the similar control with the CPU.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a recording apparatus such as a copying machine, and particularly to an improvement in the distribution and storage of recording paper on which an image has been formed by interrupt recording.

Generally, MeW devices have a recording function including ν111 (liif) for the convenience of the user.
When an interrupt command is issued while waiting for an operation, the recording operation for the 11th page being executed at that time (hereinafter referred to as normal recording mode) is suspended, and the recording operation for another document due to the interrupt is switched to the 11th page. . Power) Garo Record%ilno's work (hereinafter,
When the interrupt recording mode ends, the interrupt command is automatically canceled and the mode returns to normal recording mode.
Continuing the record 1 assistant work that was in L will become IJJ Noh.

This 51-hour interrupt record is the interrupt command received [14
615. The record in the normal recording mode performed at the point is 7 right? Recording conditions such as the number of recorded sheets during the lap-in-record mode are stored in the memory section of the microcomputer (5), which acts as the control section of the recorder, and interrupt recording is performed according to the recording conditions. After this interrupt recording is completed, the recording thread outside of the normal recording mode when interrupted by the interrupt is read out from within the first part of the record again and restarted. Recording paper on which an image has been formed in normal recording mode or interrupt recording mode such as
This is stored in a predetermined storage bin G in the sorter.

Here, in this conventional capturing/recording device, no consideration was given to distinguishing between the recording paper recorded in the interrupt recording mode and the recording paper recorded in the regular recording mode. Therefore, if ejection and storage in the nlj mode are performed under the same conditions and both are stored in the ejection tray or sorter, the user must sort the recording paper in the normal recording mode and the recording paper in the interrupt recording mode after recording is completed. It was inconvenient because I had to go to the hospital.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to
The recording paper on which answers have been recorded in the included hC0 mode can be ejected and stored in the continuous recording mode, and can be ejected and stored separately from the blank recording paper, so that the user can record easily and quickly. b1) Providing a recording device and f)

The process moves to step 5too along the flow. Step 8/OO is a one-in-one rerun to complete the decompression process in the interrupt recording mode, as shown in detail in No. 7181. Now, the song'1;
After that, the process moves to step S6'. In step 86, it is determined whether or not the copying strip A/1 is 11≦4, for example, the number of copies of the set R exceeds the capacity for copying. If it is determined that the copy conditions are inappropriate (returns to step S3 and waits for input of appropriate copy conditions).On the other hand, if the copy conditions are appropriate, the process goes to step S7 and the work area WA/ Read out data 7 about the copy paper outlet from the contents of
In accordance with the data, the conveyance path 3 is changed to the tray side (E'J is to the workpiece 100 side).After this, step Ss

Determine the contents of 8G/. Normally, in recording mode (
In this case, the content is "0", so a negative determination is made (11) and the process moves to step S// (1-1). In step S/2, it is determined whether or not the set number of copies has been completed by comparing the contents of the copy-h counter and the set number of copies, and a negative determination is made. Talent 1. Then step S7 again
Repeat the routine in S10. If the determination is affirmative, it is assumed that the copying is completed and the process proceeds to step S/2. Stamp S/, %=f for 2-hole type.

'FLAG/ determines whether or not the interrupt recording mode is in effect. Since we are currently in normal recording mode, [No.
The process returns to step S3 along the flow of J, and enters the state of waiting for key power for the next copying condition.

Next, the copying operation in i6 in the interrupt recording mode which is the gist of the present invention will be described.n)1. I will clarify. If the interrupt request key /6 is pressed during the copying operation in the above-mentioned normal recording mode, the interrupt request flag F] and AGO are set to "/". As a result, a determination of 11 is made in step S10, and the process moves to step S, 2/f. Step 82/
Then, the starting address care address pointer PTI of work area WΔl? , /, and after setting the address point to 62 cents, the process returns to step S3 and stores the copy information in work area WA2 in 1-interrupt recording. Thereafter, when the copy key is pressed, the process advances from step Stl to step 8100.

FIG. 7 shows a subroutine that executes step 8100G and enters the copy data in the interrupt recording mode. First, in step S10, there is a request including 9 pJ, so if there is no redundancy, the process moves to step S6 and copying is performed in the normal open recording mode.

On the other hand, when the determination is affirmative, step 51034 iron interrupt request 7 lag FLAGo is reset to 0'' and the process moves to step S10'l.
The copying conditions in this mode are branched depending on whether there is a request to use the copy. First, in the interrupt recording mode (here, the copying conditions when there is a tray ψ usage limit are shown). (See B)) Y?!, and in step 5703, it is determined whether the tray is being used in the normal recording mode.

At this time, if the negative judgment is 5 farts, in the tjll inclusion iL recording mode, the tray is selected as is, and step S1
0'l, data indicating that the tray is to be used is written in the discharge port block in the work area WA/, and then the process moves to step S6, where copying is performed in the interrupt recording mode. On the other hand, if the determination in step 510k is affirmative, in the next step S/θt, the presence or absence of the recording paper (hereinafter referred to as the previous stacked sheet) obtained in the normal recording mode and stacked on the trayr is determined. The determination is made based on the signal from sensor ll/. Here, if the operator who was recording in the normal recording mode removes the previous stacked sheet from the tray, it is determined that the previous stacked sheet is to be used on the tray, and the process moves to step S6 via step S10, and an interrupt is generated. Copy in recording mode. Further, when it is determined that there is a pre-stacked sheet, the process moves to step 510g, data indicating that the tray is not used is written in the discharge port block in the work area WA/, and the process moves to step S6.

In this state, the recording paper λ is placed in the bin 10/10 of the sorter 10O.
The limit number of sheets for each bin are stored in each bin in order.

Next, the operator in the interrupt recording mode

All the recording paper that cannot be stored in f is discharged to the tray.

As described above, after the copying conditions in the interrupt recording mode are checked according to the procedure shown in FIG. 187, the process moves to step S6 to execute one interrupt recording. here,

If you want to proceed to step S3 and end the reverse G interrupt recording, in step 8/3 the contents of the exit Y address pointer PTI (, /) are transferred to the valid address pointer and the 1 interrupt recording mode is completed. , the process moves to step S3, and copying in the curved recording mode (41 opening j7; 1 degree) As explained above, according to the present invention, the recording paper obtained in the interrupt recording mode is copied in the sorter. 111. Since it is now possible to distribute and store in the empty storage bins of the sorter, the process is immediately interrupted with 1-include recording and is distributed to each storage bin in the sorter using the normal fir, which was performed in the RIT, in the N mode. 111.
7. Recording paper obtained by interrupt recording is not stacked on the stack of recording paper that has been deposited. Therefore.

Unlike the conventional method, the operator does not have to take the trouble of sorting the recording sheets obtained by using both modes, and can easily and quickly perform recording operations.

vinegar! In addition, in the present invention, if the number of recording sheets obtained in recording mode G is larger than the number of empty storage bins in the sorter, the number of recording sheets obtained by recording mode G is If there is an empty storage bin in the sorter (Iat<i:c-), then 11゛ωvIC is obtained by the interrupt logic recording mode and γ is HF? , be able to sort the green paper in rows 5.

For example, if you use up to bin/10 of sorter 100 and store the recording paper in interrupt recording mode, then It is also possible to distribute and store after a certain number of bins.
