    摘要: A highly productive copier for use in a secure area or building is described. The copier includes a transparent electrical coil mounted either upon or within the copier's exposure platen and accompanying circuitry coupled thereto for detecting the proximity of metal such as those having magnetic or ferromagnetic properties. A document sheet fed to the platen for copying is sensed for the presence of the metal. Metal is present in confidential documents that have been made with metal containing toners and which are to be copied only by those authorized for copying same. A user identification system is provided for allowing users to identify themselves to the machine for allowing copying of confidential documents. Nonconfidential documents may be copied without requirement of identification. The copier is highly productive because it may be used with known high speed document feeders such as recirculating feeders without requiring a waiting period for the coil to be moved relative to the document. Copies made from the copier are reproduced either with metal containing toners for confidential documents or non-metal containing toners for non-confidential documents. A reproduction mode is also provided for allowing reproduction of documents not containing metal into copies which contain metal to create a detectable confidential document.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for producing color-accented or otherwise edited reproductions of original documents with high productivity. Information of originals to be reproduced with, for example, color-accenting are highlighted on the originals with a marker pen or encircled with the highlight. The highlighted originals are serially passed during a copy run over an image scanner that is sensitive to the highlighted portions. The locations of the highlighted portions for each original are detected and stored in a bit map. In one embodiment an original is imaged onto two image frames of an electrostatically charged photoconductor. The photoconductor not being capable of distinguishing highlighted areas from background reproduces the electrostatic images through an optical exposure as if no highlighting is present. A selective erase element is provided to erase from one frame, areas on the original that were highlighted and to erase from the other frame, areas on the original that were not highlighted. The image frames are developed, each with a differently colored toner, and the developed areas transferred in register to a copy sheet to provide a reproduction with color accenting. In another embodiment the information is electronically scanned onto the photoconductor using an LED or laser light source and the appropriate image frames exposed in accordance with the highlighting on the documents.Highlighting of an original may also be used to indicate areas to be selectively screened, filled with a screen tint, areas to be deleted, or areas to be repositioned.

    摘要: A recirculating feeder for use with a document copier to produce collated copies of multi-page documents and the like. The feeder operates with the document pages or sheets stacked right-side-up in their normal sequential order. The sheets are removed one-at-a-time from the bottom of the stack, presented face-down for copying, and returned again right-side-up to the top of the stack. The right-side-up orientation and bottom feed permits visual inspection of the copying cycle for assurance that it is proceeding properly, facilitates collation of the final copies in the right-side-up orientation, and permits visual comparison of the document stack with the copy stack.

    摘要: A mechanism for use with a sheet transport apparatus for turning over a sheet transported along a travel path, such mechanism reliably functioning irrespective of sheet weight or size. With the mechanism, a sheet is selectively moved in one direction from a travel path or in an opposite direction into such travel path. The surface of the moving sheet is engaged so that energy derived by the sheet being transported in the direction from the travel path is stored. When the sheet is no longer being transported in such direction, the stored energy is utilized to move the sheet in the opposite direction to a point where it can be transported in such opposite direction back into the travel path with its trail edge becoming the lead edge and its surface orientation reversed.

    摘要: An electrophotographic apparatus for producing colored copies on a receiver sheet. A movable image transfer member, adapted to receive related transferable color separation images in nonoverlapping image areas, is moved along a transport path. A transfer mechanism is mounted adjacent to the transport path for transferring at spaced locations along the path the color separation images to a receiver sheet. The transfer mechanism successively positions the receiver sheet at the spaced locations in register with and in image transfer relation to the color separation images on the moving transfer member to superimpose the color separation images in register on the receiver sheet.

    摘要: Pressurized air and vacuum levels are controlled to facilitate sheet separation and feeding reliability based on the weight of a document sheet stack on the document sheet stack support. The weight of the stack is determined by counting the total number of individual document sheets in such document sheet stack, determining the height of the original topmost document sheet of such stack at a particular point in time, counting the number of individual document sheets fed from such stack from such particular point in time, computing the weight of each individual document sheet based on the counted number of document sheets from such particular point in time, and calculating the total weight of such stack based on the weight of each individual document sheet and the total number of document sheets in the such stack.

    摘要: Copy sheet positioning apparatus is provided in electrographic apparatus which produces copies of at least first and second dimensions and which includes a movable image transfer member upon which transferable unfixed images are formed. The copy sheet positioning apparatus includes a first sheet handling assembly located adjacent to the image transfer member which defines a first path for a copy sheet of a first dimension. The first sheet handling assembly is operative to remove and reposition such a copy sheet with respect to the image transfer member. The copy sheet positioning apparatus also includes a second sheet handling assembly which defines with the first sheet handling assembly a second path for a copy sheet of a second dimension. The second sheet handling assembly cooperates with the first sheet handling assembly to remove and reposition such a copy sheet with respect to the image transfer member.
