A method for a sheet handling system where a controller communicates with a mailbox bin subsystem having a plurality of print receiving bins is provided. The plurality of bins are grouped into a first print receiving bin set, a second print receiving bin set and a third print receiving bin set with the first print receiving bin set including one or more print receiving bins, the second print receiving bin set including one or more print receiving bins and the third print receiving bin set including one or more print receiving bins. A first bin access designator is assigned to each print receiving bin of the first print receiving bin set, a second bin access designator is assigned to each print receiving bin in the second print receiving bin set and a third bin access designator is assigned to each print receiving bin in the third print receiving bin set--the first, second and third bin access designators correspond respectively with a first user class type, a second user class type and a third user class type. A request is communicated to and read by the controller. In response to such reading, the one or more produced prints are delivered to one or more print receiving bins in one or more of the first, second and third print receiving bin sets.

A print media sheet tray control system for use with a printing system having a controller is provided. The control system includes a print media sheet tray which is configurable, through use of the controller, in a selected one of a first operational mode and a second operational mode. The configurable print media sheet tray is characterized by a print media attribute set having a selected state which can be either a first state or a second state. If the configurable print media sheet tray is configured in the first operational mode, then the controller prohibits printing system operation if the selected state has been altered from the first state to the second state. On the other hand, if the configurable print media sheet tray is configured in the second operational mode, then operation of the printing system is permitted provided the alteration was achieved pursuant to a preselected alteration process.

An apparatus for maintaining the outermost surface of a stack of sheets at a selected elevation of the type having a stacking tray for holding the stack, a drive system adapted to move the tray, a position sensor for detecting the position of the outermost sheet of the stack, and a drive controller for controlling the drive system in response to signals received from the position sensor. The drive controller utilizing signals generated by a travel limit sensor, whereby the sensor indicates, with an active signal, the presence of the stacking tray at either a first or a second travel limit position. The drive controller further utilizing signals generated by a motion sensor, whereby the sensor signal is indicative of displacement of the stacking tray. The apparatus further including a sensor actuating apparatus, operatively connected to the stacking tray, for actuating the travel limit and motion sensors. The sensor actuating apparatus including means for actuating the travel limit sensor when the stacking tray is in either a first or a second travel limit position. The sensor actuating apparatus further including means for periodically actuating the motion sensor in response to movement of the stacking tray, thereby causing the motion sensor to generate a signal indicative of movement of the stacking tray.
摘要:
A printing machine in which the magnification of an image of a computer form is adjusted so that a copy thereof fits on a selected size copy sheet. The width and the number of holes of a computer form are inputted into the printing machine. In addition, the size of the selected copy sheet is inputted into the printing machine. This information is used by the printing machine to calculate the magnification of the image and to form an image of the computer form with the magnification adjusted so that the copy of the computer form fits on the selected size copy sheet.

An improved post-collation duplex to duplex copying system, for a duplexing copier with a duplex buffer tray, and connected sorter bins, utilizing a recirculating duplex document handler (RDH) in which a set of duplex (two sided) original document sheets 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.div.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.
摘要:
A display for use in conjunction with a copier. The disclosed display comprises two microprocessors for controllably displaying information on a display panel of a xerographic copier. A first microprocessor is primarily responsible for energizing alphanumeric elements to either send messages to the copier user or to prompt the user to interact with the copier. A second display is a liquid crystal display wherein selectively energizable liquid crystal elements corresponding to copier components can be rendered visible under the control of the second microprocessor. An overlay pattern can be placed above the liquid crystal display to present to the user in outline form the copier architecture with which he is interacting. This overlay can be changed as the copier configuration is changed. The electronics for controlling the display of alphanumeric allows the utilization of different fonts and/or different languages. This flexibility allows the copier to prompt, and/or display information regarding copier status in various languages without a redesign of the display unit.
