Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable easy initial setting of a copying machine by utilizing a copylyzer to read copying data from a magnetic card so that initial setting of each function is automatically accomplished. CONSTITUTION:An external apparatus of a copyrizer 5 is a copying machine 12. Transmission and reception of data between the copying machine 12 side and the copylyzer 5 are also accomplished with a transmission IC7 as a window. A CPU8 which is the center for controlling initial setting of the machine 12 operates in accordance with the program written in an ROM9. The CPU8, to which the data from the copylyzer 5 is inputted via the IC7, stores once the data in an RAM10, compares the set data up to the present written in the initialize register assigned in another memory in the same RAM10 with the stored data and changes the different part to fresh data. The CPU8 outputs further a set signal to an initialize circuit 11 of each function device according to the content of the initialize register reset in the above-mentioned way. Initial setting of each function device is accomplished by said circuit 11 and copying okay is displayed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a control device for performing initial settings 7 of various functions of a copying machine using a r4 card.

Prior Art When a copyer is used for the first time in the past 1, the method of use is simply to transmit information such as the number of copies made to a magnetic card from the copying machine and record the copy history. Since the data was only stored on the card, the function of the copy riser was not fully utilized, and the system was not utilized effectively.

Furthermore, when various functions are added to a copying machine, it is too complicated and a waste of time for one operator to manually perform initial settings 7 for all functions.

If one copy machine is shared by each department, you will often have to re-set the initial settings for your own department every time, and there will be one copy machine in the central copy room with different models. If multiple anchors are installed and shared, the VC must be initialized every time the copying machine model changes, even if the copying conditions are the same, and all of this must be done manually. This placed a heavy burden on the operator and was prone to setting errors.

Conventionally, in copiers that allow initial settings for many types of functions, the settings for some of these functions are semi-fixed.
．． There are many types that only operate the function 3, but they are semi-fixed.
These functions were rarely used due to their complexity, and it was difficult to create the best copying conditions.

In addition, depending on the model, the initial settings are inevitably complicated, and this complexity cannot be eliminated.Objective of the InventionThe present invention is directed to the invention of a function control device for a copying machine that eliminates these drawbacks. Part 1: The purpose of this is to provide a copy 1aZ that uses a copy riser to read recovery data from a magnetic card and automatically controls the initial settings of each function.

Composition of the invention The configuration of the present invention will be explained based on FIG.

A is a magnetic card that stores function setting data, B is a copy riser that reads the stored data by setting it on the magnetic card, and C is a data transmission means that transmits the data read into the copy riser B. D is a data processing means that inputs the data transmitted by the transmission means 0 and issues commands to each mechanized device based on the data contents, and E is a function setting means that sets each function according to the command. It is a means.

Since the invention is configured as described above, the operator uses a magnetic card A'7 in which the function setting data is stored.
Since the initial settings of the copying machine are automatically performed by simply inserting a cent into the copy riser B, the initial settings of the multi-PA function can be easily requested each time a task is interrupted.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 2 will be described below.

FIG. 2 shows a control system according to the invention.

In the same figure, ℃1 is a magnetic card soda writer circuit that reads data 7 stored on the magnetic card and writes data χ with a magnetic Henton, and the CPU 2c
/) carried out under control.

APU2 operates according to a program written in non-volatile memory IJ-ROM 3, and stores data read by the magnetic card reader/writer circuit 1 in volatile memory RAM4. The reader/writer circuit 1 performs control 7 such as writing on a magnetic card, and is the central part of the control processing of the copy riser 5 including the above-mentioned components Z.

Also, 0PU2 is transmission 10 (8251
)6, it also controls the transfer of data to and from external devices.

Currently, the external device of Fubira 4 and 5 is a copying machine 12 and 1
Yaniri copier 12 +ltl also has 0 transmission work (8251)
Data σ) is being transmitted to and from the copy riser 5 through the 7-in counter.

8 is a CPU which is the center of initial setting control of the copying machine 12. It writes 'En'y' into the ROM 9 and operates according to the nib program.

aptrB is the data input from the copy riser 5 via the data transmitter 07g, is stored in the RAM 10, and is the current setting written in the initialization register specified in another memory in the RAM 10. The parts that are different from the stored data are changed to new data.

Furthermore, Or U, 8 outputs a setting signal to the initializing circuit 11 of each functional device according to the contents of the initializing register reset as described above.

Then, the initialization circuit 11 initializes each functional device, and displays the possibility of recovery.

Even if there is no initial setting of the copying machine and the λt1 copy ready display is displayed, normal keystrokes from the Tx console are possible even if the VC8 is on.In this case, the input data is stored in the intuition initialization register.

Therefore, after initial settings are made using a magnetic card, some functions can be changed manually using keys.

As mentioned above, by writing the function setting data on the magnetic card in advance, when Hiroshi Enoki sets the magnetic card in the Z copy riser, the initial settings of the copier can be automatically set. Of course, it is also possible to write data to a magnetic card, which is another function, and it is also possible to record the number of layers and other necessary data on the magnetic card.

In this embodiment, the copy riser and copying machine each have an OPU'Y for data transmission, but if the copy riser is built into the copy machine and integrated, it is controlled by one CPU. It is also possible to do this, and in this case, an IC for data transmission becomes unnecessary.

Effects of the Invention In the present invention, various functions of the copying machine are initialized by simply setting the magnetic card containing the PA function data into the copy riser, so that manual keystrokes are not required.C) In comparison, the operational burden is reduced.
Furthermore, incorrect setting Z will not occur.

Especially when one copy machine is shared by each evil gate.
It is very effective for WTL when multiple machines of different types are placed and shared in a centralized copy room, which helps reduce labor and make effective use of time.
