JPS6456452A - Automatic synthetic/copying method for copying machine - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain format synthetic copying by setting the number of copies, switching a paper supply port to the paper resupply port of an intermediate tray, supplying copying paper to which copying has been executed, which is adjusted on the paper resupply port, to a transfer part and synthetically copying the contents of the final original in common at the time of detecting the final original fed onto the glass of the original platen of a copying machine. CONSTITUTION:Specified number, N+1 (N>=1) number, of originals are sequentially fed onto the glass 25 of the original platen of the copying machine and n (n>=1) number, the number of copies set for the respective originals, of copying paper are supplied from the paper supply port of a selected specific paper size so as to execute copying. Then the copying paper to which copying has been executed is fed to the intermediate tray A and when it is detected that the final original placed on an original tray 34 is fed onto the upper surface of the glass 25 of the original platen, the number of copies is set in NXn. And the paper supply port is switched to the paper resupply port B and the intermediate ray A, so that the copying paper, to which copying has been executed, moved to the paper resupply port A is sequentially supplied from the paper resupply port A and the contents of the final original are synthetically copied in common. Thus, the format synthetic copying can be automatically executed.
