摘要： In a system for detecting and signaling the approximate size of a set, stack or job of document sheets, especially for a recirculating type automatic document feeder with a document set stacking and feeding tray for a copier or other document imaging system, in which an electromechanical set separator system provides rough initial stack height and therefore set size or document number estimation signals from the position of the set separator arm on the stack, and in which there is also a counter for counting the number of document sheets fed out from the tray; the advance estimation of the number of documents to be fed to be imaged is significantly improved by dynamically comparing the count of the number of document sheets fed out from the tray at and with the transition in the set size estimation signal from the set separator system.

摘要： Scanner fault recovery in an electronic reprographic system includes monitoring the scanner for faults and enabling deletion from memory any images corresponding to documents involved in the scanner fault. Once the images have been deleted, refeed instructions are displayed to the operator for refeeding the documents whose images were deleted. Upon document refeed, the documents are rescanned for completion of scanning of the job.

摘要： A method and apparatus for operating an electronic reprographic system upon detection of a fault are described. Original documents of a job to be printed are scanned to provide images for storage. When scanning is interrupted, the last captured image is stored and selectively displayed. If scanning is not completed before the interruption, the system is monitored for the occurrence of a fault before scanning is resumed. The detection of a fault occurrence requires clearance of the paper path before scanning operation can be resumed. If scanning is completed, printer operation is enabled to provide image output. Partially completed scan jobs resulting from scanner interruption are saved in operator accessible memory.

摘要： The automatic relocation of images in an electronic reprographic system includes scanning documents comprising a print job, converting the documents to electroniic manipulatable images, storing the images for print generation and shifting the locations of the scanned images to obtain a desired output. The location shifting can provide a one-sided cover page for a print job having a duplex arrangement, reordering to form duplex output from simplex input and joinder of a plurality of sets of documents without gap generation therebetween.

摘要： An electronic printing system having the capability of producing cover sheets for an output document set, including the ability to allow an operator to select the desired features of the cover sheets. Moreover, the system has a scanner for scanning an original document set, thereby producing an electronic representation of the set of original documents. Subsequently, the system is capable of automatically reordering the electronic images in a manner suitable to produce front and/or back cover sheets in accordance with the features previously selected. Finally, the output section of the system generates printed output of the reordered electronic images, thereby producing a completed document, including covers.

摘要： An automatic document imaging mode selection system in a system for generating electronic images of documents, in which documents may be variously fed or registered on a document imaging platen with a plural mode automatic document handling system. Various document handling and/or image scanning modes of operation are automatically selected from among various available potential such modes by accessing various document handling status information and/or sensor inputs, and coordinating that information to automatically select an optimum such mode where the operator has not specifically selected a mode. This may further include automatically determining whether or not to conduct a special pre-scan cycle before image scanning is initiated, and/or taking into consideration inferences as to whether or not the document(s) had been previously imaged. It may further or additionally include automatically changing the registration or scanning position for the particular document in accordance with the mode selection.
