Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the labor and prevent a danger by providing a control part which ejects copy forms automatically onto a compiler tray when an auto-clear button is depressed if a stapler mode is cancelled. CONSTITUTION:If an interrupt is generated by some cause just before driving of a stapler 17 after the stapler mode is set, a control part 22 releases the stapler mode and executes control to stop all driving mechanisms of a finisher 10. Then, an operator depresses the auto-clear button provided on a console 21. The control part 22 decides whether ''flag 1'' is outputted or not to confirm release of the stapler mode and turns on a motor 24, a gate 16, and a carrying roll 18 for a certain period. Thus, unbound forms in a compiler tray 15 are sent out automatically to an eject tray 20 through a gate mechanism 19.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention provides a finisher that is capable of automatically ejecting copy paper in the Conno 4 illustration tray when the apparatus stops immediately before stapling and the Stellanol mode is canceled. -Relating to a copying machine equipped with.

[Prior art]

As a copying machine equipped with a conventional finisher, for example,
The original is continuously fed to the platen, the copy paper is fed accordingly to make a copy, and the ejected copied paper is sequentially fed to the main illustration tray of the finisher (Flniaher).
There are some that can be stapled with er) so that copy sets can be made.

When stapling, set the console to sistera group mode, set the r-number necessary for copying, press the start button to start copying, and the document will be fed to the automatic document feeder at regular intervals. The paper is supplied to the GinoLatin, and copies are made on the paper sheets that are sequentially fed accordingly. The ejected copy paper is sent to a finisher, and after the number of sheets equivalent to the number of original documents is fed into the compiler tray, the Stellar Blur is activated and stapled. As described above, since stapling is automatically performed after copy paper is ejected, labor can be saved.

However, for copiers equipped with conventional finishers, if the systellagrangle mode is canceled for some reason (such as the stop button being operated during stellanor mode), steragle will not be performed, so the compiler The operator had to manually remove the copy paper from the tray. .

[Object and structure of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems.In the Stellar Group mode, when the Stellar Group mode is canceled for some reason immediately before stapling, the copy paper in the r7 i4 illustration tray is automatically ejected. To provide a copying machine equipped with a finisher that automatically discharges copy paper in a container/main tray on the condition that all clear butane is pressed so that copy paper can be discharged into a tray. .

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a copying machine equipped with a finisher according to the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, which comprises a copying machine main body 1 equipped with a discharge row 22 for discharging copied sheets, and a finisher 10. The finisher 10 includes a transport roller 11 that transports the paper from the ejection row 22, a selector 12 that selectively distributes the paper supplied from the transport row 211 to either the ejection tray or the blank tray. a paper sensor 13 that detects the passage of paper when the paper sensor 13 is in the lower position; a transport roller 14 that allows the paper that has passed the paper sensor 13 to naturally fall as it passes the end of the transport; There is a compiler tray 5 in which the sheets are sequentially received, a dart 16 provided at the bottom end of the tray 15 to keep the sheets in the tray until the stapling is completed, and a compiler tray 15 that staples a predetermined portion of the sheet bundle supplied to the compiler tray 15. Step 2-17 for stopping the paper, and a conveyance roller 218 that conveys the paper that is naturally discharged from the tray 15 when the dart 16 is opened, and a conveyance roller 211 that conveys the sheet directly or the conveyance roller 218. An f-id mechanism 19 that guides the paper (or copy set) ejected from the guide mechanism 19, an ejection tray 20 that receives and places the paper ejected from the guide mechanism 19, and paper size, number of sheets settings, and reduction ratio settings. , a console 2 equipped with a 0 indicator for displaying methane for setting modes, operating status, number of copies, etc.
1, a control section 22 that outputs control commands to control the tie and shear 10 and control the copying machine main body 1 based on information and data from the sensor and the lever 21; A motor 24 is used to drive each drive system in the copying machine main body 1 based on control commands output more than 22, and also to drive each conveyance roller in the finisher 10.
, the selector 12, the dirt 16, and the step 2-17.

The control unit 22 has an input interface 22b that inputs information and data from various sensors, the paper sensor 13, and the console 21, and sends the r notalization signal to the path 22a at the timing of all signals, and also controls copying processing and stapling processing. ROM 2 that stores programs to perform
2 e, a CPU 22 d that executes various processes according to the programs in the ROM 22 e, a RAM 22 that temporarily stores processing results by the CPU 22 d and external data, etc.; an output interface 22 that outputs control commands to the drive unit 23 in a predetermined format and format;
It is composed of f and Yoshi.

In the above configuration, originals are sequentially supplied to the printer by an automatic document feeder (not shown), and copy paper is supplied from a paper feed cassette (not shown) in synchronization with the progress of scanning and development. Then, copies are made according to the number of original sheets. The sheet on which copying has been completed reaches the conveyance row 22 via the conveyance path, and is sent to the finisher 10 by the conveyance row 22. The supplied paper is sent to the latter stage by the conveyance row 211, but the paper is not delivered to the console 21.
When the Stellasol mode is selected by , the transport roller 14 is
It is sent to the side. Further, when the stellar pull mode is off, the selector 12 is located at the upper side, and the paper from the transport roller 211 is sent to the guide mechanism 19, and the paper from the transport roller 211 is fed to the guide mechanism 19. The sheets naturally fall into the paper output tray 20 and are stored one after another.

The paper fed into the conveyance roller 14 is sequentially fed into the main tray 15 from the leading edge of the paper, and the trailing edge is taken out and slides down on the tray 15.
) 16 with the tail end locked. The paper sensor 13 detects that the number of original sheets has passed, and the control section 22 outputs a command to actuate the Stellar Blur 17 to the drive section 23 . The stezoler 17 is driven by the drive unit 23.
When the 0 plunger is driven and stapling is performed normally, the control section 22 outputs a command to open the I'-) 16 to the drive section 23, and the motor 24 that drives the guide mechanism 19 is driven. Ru. Under this control, the dart 16 rotates clockwise, and the copy set stapled to the compiler tray 15 is delivered to the ID mechanism 19, and conveyed by the mechanism 19 to the ejection tray 20.

By the way, if the Stellar Blur mode is set and an interrupt occurs for some reason immediately before the Stellar Blur 17 is driven (for example, when the stop button, interrupt button, etc. is operated), the control The unit 22 cancels the stellar pull mode and executes control to stop all drive mechanisms of the finisher 10. Therefore, in such a state, the operator should press the all clear button (the button that returns all settings made prior to copying to the initial state and sets the same state as immediately after the power is turned on) provided on the console 21. (For example, if you use the above-mentioned ``Stroke Button'' and ``All Clear'' button, you only need to operate it once.)
The control unit 22 determines whether or not "7 lag 1", which is established when the Stellanol mode setting is turned off, is being output, confirms that the Stellanol mode is canceled, and sets the Dart 16
, motor 24 and transport row: 1ir18 are turned on for a certain period of time. As a result, the unbound sheets in the paper tray 15 are sent to the ejection tray 2o via the f-) mechanism 19.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the copying machine equipped with the finisher of the present invention as described above, when the all clear button (Mode Reset I button) is operated in the Stellar Group mode just before stapling, the paper in the tray is ejected. Since the paper is ejected into the tray, the paper can be ejected without manual intervention, which saves unnecessary effort, and there is no risk of touching the inside, which also helps prevent danger.
