摘要:
An electrostatographic type copying or reproduction machine incorporating a programmable controller to operate the various machine components in an integrated manner to produce copies. The controller carries a master program bearing machine operating parameters from which an operating program for the specific copy run desired is formed and used to operate the machine components to produce the copies programmed. A multiple prioritized interrupt system is employed to distribute the operating program to the machine.

A method for transferring an image disposed on a medium with an image transfer device. The method comprises the steps of providing the image transfer device with a controller and a reader, reading the image on the medium with the reader, and forming with the controller a modified image from the image on the medium. The reader is operably connected to the controller for reading the image on the medium. The controller forms the modified image from the image on the medium in response to registering with the controller that the image on the medium is larger than a predetermined size. The modified image formed with the controller is smaller than the predetermined size.

A printing system with a digital reproduction system communicating with a remote document processing station by way of a print server is provided. The printing system includes a first queue of first jobs to be executed with the digital reproduction system maintained at the print server and a second queue of second jobs to be executed with the digital reproduction system maintained at the digital reproduction system. The printing system further includes a queue process communicating with both the first and second queues for forming a composite queue to reflect an order in which the first and second jobs of the first queue and the second queues are to be executed with the digital reproduction system. In practice, the composite queue is formed by initiating development of the composite queue in response to a request signal with the request signal being generated on the basis of input from the remote document processing station, automatically, electronically obtaining a first set of information reflecting an order of the first jobs in the first queue and a second set of information reflecting an order of the second jobs in the second queue, and merging the first set of information with the second set of information in accordance with a selected criterion for providing the composite queue. A representation of the composite queue is then displayed at a user interface disposed at the remote document processing station.

A reproduction machine provides a single output catch tray for operating in stacks, unstapled sets, stapled sets modes. In the various modes of operation, the reproduction machine will temporarily halt upon the output catch tray reaching predetermined capacities depending upon the mode of operation. However, upon emptying the contents of the output tray, the machine will resume operation until the completion of the requirement or until the job in process is cancelled.

A method for enabling a printing machine having a customer billing interface to bill the customer for marking jobs having different sheet sizes includes programming different rates for different size sheets into the printing machine. With receipt of a machine enable signal from the customer billing interface, a sheet is fed and the printing machine determines the sheet size. After the printing machine performs a marking operation, the printing machine emits a signal for each sheet marked to the customer billing interface.
摘要:
A reproduction system which includes inter alia a user interface providing a means for programming a plurality of features associated with the execution of a copying job. The system includes a means for comparing the most recently selected feature with all previously programmed features in order to identify any mutually exclusive or undesirable feature pairs. Finally, the system also contains one or possibly multiple priority establishing methods or schemes for use in automatically resolving conflicting feature selections.
摘要:
A method of automatically selecting a desired copy sheet size including sensing the size of a document, and sensing a parameter in nonvolatile memory representing a set of standard copy sheet sizes and a set of non standard copy sheet sizes a selected magnification ratio, determining the preferred copy sheet size in response to the sensed document size, parameters in memory and the magnification selected, and automatically selecting the appropriate copy sheet storage receptacle including the determination of acceptable image to copy sheet ratio. The determination of acceptable image to copy sheet ratio includes the step of determining the ratio of image space to non-image space on the copy sheet and the amount of potential image loss on the copy sheet.
摘要:
An electrophotographic printing machine in which successive electrostatic latent images are recorded on a moving photoconductive belt. Each latent image is adapted to be recorded in a designated region on the photoconductive belt. The designated regions are separated from one another by an inter-image zone. A test patch is recorded in the inter-image zone. The number of designated regions on the photoconductive belt is adjusted so that the size of the inter-image zone is increased enabling a portion of the latent image to be recorded in the inter-image zone without overlapping any portion of the test patch.
摘要:
A reproduction machine having a recirculating document handler, a display, and the means to enter a diagnostic mode for immediate access of time periods between sensors detecting document travel in the document handler. Upon entering the diagnostic mode, the first requested event of six events or time periods is displayed, the display providing the number of the event and the time period in milliseconds. To successively display the remaining events or time periods between different sets of sensors, it is only necessary to activate a suitable push button on the operator console to display the remaining events in succession.
摘要:
A data communications system having a programmable master controller including memory means and command byte generating means and a plurality of additional controllers providing input data bytes to the master controller and having means for receiving command bytes from the master controller. The additional controllers are each connected to the master controller such that corresponding data bits are ORed together and means are provided for the simultaneous transmission of data bytes from the additional controllers to the master controller such that corresponding bits of the simultaneously transmitted bytes have mutually exclusive data therein.
