Consequently, the transfer paper is folded into two and paged, and consequently the A, B, C, and D are copied in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pages respectively, so this continuous copying operation is carried out plural times and copies are stacked to easily make a book.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to a copying machine I control system, particularly in a special continuous copying mode, a method for copying four originals onto the front and back sides of one sheet of transfer paper in an orderly manner. This invention relates to a copying machine control system that allows books to be created using the following methods.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, high-performance copying machines have been provided with a continuous copying mode in addition to modes such as variable magnification, trimming, and image shift. In this continuous shooting mode, two images written on one document are separately transferred onto two sheets of transfer paper each half the size of the original. However, although this mode is suitable for dividing a plurality of images, it is not very useful when binding a book.

Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to improve copying efficiency by improving such conventional problems and providing a special continuous copying mode for copying multiple sheets of original onto a single sheet of transfer paper. An object of the present invention is to provide a copying machine control system that allows easy bookbinding.

1. In order to achieve the above object, the copying machine control method of the present invention is as follows:
In a copying machine equipped with an automatic document feeder, a duplexer, and a composite device, the first original is copied onto the right side of the front side of the transfer paper, and then the second original is copied using the duplexer described above onto the left side of the back side. Then, the composite device is used to copy the third document onto the right side of the back side, and the duplex device is used to copy the fourth document onto the left side of the front side. It has characteristics.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained in detail using examples.

In addition to a large number of modes, the copying machine of this embodiment is also equipped with four primary continuous copying modes.

Ren 1pen (a) Continuous copying 1: This is a mode in which the left half and right half of a single document are continuously copied onto separate transfer sheets (half the size of the document). 29 is a conventionally provided mode, so its details will be omitted.

(b) Continuous copying 2: This is a mode in which the first sheet of two originals is continuously copied on the left side of the transfer paper and the second sheet on the right side. In other words, as shown in Figure 2, if A and B are written on separate manuscripts, copy A on the left side of the paper that is twice the size of the manuscript, and B on the right side of the paper. do.

(c) Continuous copying 3: This is a mode in which one document is continuously copied to the left and right sides of the transfer paper. In other words, as shown in Figure 73, if A is written on the manuscript, copy A on the left side of the transfer paper that is twice the size of the original, and then copy A continuously on the right side. .

(d) Continuous copying 4: This is the continuous copying mode of this embodiment, where four originals are placed in the ADF, and by turning on print, two copies are printed on each side of a sheet of double-sized transfer paper. This mode is for copying one by one. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, A and B are printed on four originals.

If C and D are written on the transfer paper, which is twice the size of those manuscripts, D and A are written on the front side, and B and C are written on the back side.
Copy each. With this, when you fold the transfer paper in half and add pages, page 1 is A, page 2 is B, 3
This means that page C has been copied and page 4 has been copied D. If this continuous copying is performed several times in succession, binding can be easily carried out.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a monochrome copying machine to which the present invention is applied.

On the copying machine main body 1 is an automatic document feeder (hereinafter referred to as ADF).
) 2 is installed, a sorter 3 is mounted on the side paper output side, and the paper feed section has a two-stage paper feed cassette and a paper feed tray for feeding a large amount of paper. A paper feed section 4 for feeding paper.

Each can be installed.

The ADF 2 includes a document setting section 7, an ADF paper feed roller 8, and an ADF paper feed roller 8.
It has a DFWi feed belt 9, a document output tray 10, etc., and the document set in the document setting section 7 is fed and conveyed to the ADF conveyance belt 9 by the ADF paper feed roller 8, and then the document is conveyed to the ADF conveyance belt 9. Set it on the contact glass 11,
After the copying operation is completed, the document is discharged onto the document discharge tray 10.

This ADF 2 is provided so that the entire ADF 2 can be opened and closed on the contact glass 11 with one side as an axis. Therefore, A
The DF2 serves as a document holding plate when manually setting a document on the contact glass 11.

A document set on contact glass 11 is illuminated by lamp 12 . The reflected light from the original is reflected by the first mirror 1.
3. Second mirror 14. The third mirror 15° lens unit 16 and the fourth mirror 17
imaged on the surface of The photosensitive drum 20 is rotated clockwise by a main motor 21 via a power transmission mechanism (not shown). Lamp 12 and first mirror 13
is mounted on a first carriage (not shown) and is driven in the direction of arrow A at a constant speed. The second mirror 14 and the third mirror 15 are mounted on a second carriage (not shown) and are driven in the direction of the arrow at a speed that is half the speed of the first carriage.

The surface of the photosensitive drum 20 is uniformly charged by the main charger 22. The charged surface.

The light passes through the silk division erase unit 23 and is exposed to light by the image formation, producing an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photoreceptor drum 20. This electrostatic latent image is developed with a developer in the developing device 24 to become a visible image, and is sent to the transfer charger section 25.

The transfer paper is fed out from the paper feed unit 4 by a paper feed roller 26 and reaches a register roller 29 by conveyance rollers 27 and 28. At this point, the paper is again conveyed along the paper guide to the transfer paper charger 25 at the appropriate timing, and the visible image is transferred thereto. The recorded transfer paper is transferred to the separation unit 30.
The paper is separated from the photosensitive drum 20, guided by the paper guide 1, and enters the fixing device 32. There, the sheet receives heat from a heater (not shown), is guided by a paper guide 33, and is sent out from the copying machine main body 1 from a sheet discharge roller 34.

The sorter 3 sorts and discharges the materials according to predetermined types. Furthermore, in the composite mode and double-sided copying, since one sheet of transfer paper is printed twice, it is conveyed downward by the changeover device 70 and temporarily stands by at a retreat position 74 for re-copying. Thereafter, it is conveyed through the second Wi conveyance path by rollers 79 and 80, and is conveyed again to the position of the transfer charger 25. In the case of double-sided copying, when the transfer paper is conveyed directly from the retreat position 74 to the transfer charger 25, the back side becomes the front side, so that the next transfer can be performed as is. On the other hand, in undercolor or other composite modes that print on top of a single color, it is necessary to perform the next print on the same side, so the transfer paper is reversed at the second retraction position halfway through, and the color is removed. By conveying the image to the transfer charger 25, it is possible to copy it on the same surface.

On the other hand, the surface of the photoreceptor drum 20 is cleaned by the cleaning unit 35, and the main charger 20 is again cleaned.
2 is activated.

Below the copying machine body 1 are red, green, and blue printing liquids 62.
．． 63 and 64 are installed separately, each is independently piped up to the photosensitive drum 20, and the copying liquid is circulated between them.
