摘要:
A reproduction system for producing and collating copies from a set of document sheets comprises a copy set collecting and storage arrangement for a high speed copy reproduction system or duplicator machine (11) having a finishing station (130). The arrangement includes an elevator (138) for collecting finished copy sets in a stack and a conveyor (140) for receiving one or more stacks from the elevator. Controls are devised for "limitless" finishing wherein the duplicator is placed in Standby, count holding condition when the full storage capacity has been reached and the programmed reproduction run has not been achieved. The controls will effect automatic start-up again when one or more of the stacks have been removed until once again the capacity has been reached and the reproduction run has not been completed.

摘要:
An improved post -collation duplex to duplex copying system, for a duplexing copier with a duplex buffer tray (16), and connected sorter bins (Fig. 1(b), utilizing a recirculating duplex document handler (RDH) (20) in which a set of duplex (two sided) original document sheets (32)may be loaded, recirculated, copied, and inverted during circulations, for making plural duplex (two sided) copy sheets, by temporarily storing a calculated variable plural number of identical consecutive first side copies of each document in the duplex tray and feeding these copy sheets out from the duplex tray for copying their second sides in a subsequent document circulation, and outputting them to selected sorter bins, in which the plural identical copies are collated in a calculated variable number of sorter bins normally substantially less than the total number of bins. This variable number of identical copies made per document in a circulation and bins utilized per circulation is preferably a repeatedly recalculated function of the smallest of: (1) the duplex tray capacity÷number of originals being copied, or (2) the quantity of copy sets selected, or (3) the number of available sorter bins, or (4) the remaining quantity of copy sets to be made.
