CONSTITUTION:A control part for executing a control such as driving, stop, etc. of a pointer 2 is constituted of a center mark selecting button provided on a control panel of a copying machine and a display part 6, a read-only memory (ROM)7 of a microcomputer, and a central processing unit (CPU)8, in addition to a usual selecting button for setting the number of copying sheets, etc. A pointer mechanism sensor part 10 consisting of a pointer mechanism 9 containing the pointer 2 and a driving part 3, and a sensor 5 is provided, a stop of driving of the pointer mechanism 9, namely, a stop position of the pointer 2 is detected by the sensor 5 provided on a position corresponding to a copying size, and a timing for stopping the driving is determined by a signal applied to the CPU8 from the pointer mechanism sensor part 10.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a copying apparatus having a specific display function.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there have been cases in which paper obtained by a copying device such as a copying machine is punched for the purpose of filing, etc., but the copying paper itself used in the above-mentioned device has a method for such paper processing. For example, when punching paper, the operator should either fold the ejected transfer paper in half to create a crease after copying, or use a commercially available punch size. I try to take the time to adjust the size and then punch. For this reason, the punching operation requires the above-mentioned labor such as center folding of the paper, and punching cannot be performed easily. Also, in some cases, you may want to perform a special folding process to fold the ejected paper into a special size, but in such cases, there is no special indication as a guide for such processing. There is also the disadvantage that special folding operations cannot be performed easily and quickly.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and it is an object of the present invention to efficiently and easily perform such paper processing when punching work, special folding work, etc. as described above are required. The purpose is to obtain.

(Structure of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a copying machine such as a copying machine with a punch center mark or a specific display as an indicator for special folding at a predetermined position such as the paper center position of copy paper. A pointer mechanism is provided to form a pointer, and an image of the pointer is formed on the paper during copying.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Figures 1 to 3 show an embodiment of this invention.
A case is shown in which a punch center mark as a specific display is automatically formed on the copy sheet according to the copy size as the document is copied.

In Fig. 1, (1) is the platen of the copying machine on which the original to be copied is placed with its position restricted as shown by the broken line S, and (2) is the pointer used to form the center mark. The image of the pointer (2) is formed on the copy paper as the copying machine performs the copying operation. In other words, the image of the pointer (2) is exposed to light by the optical system in the same way as the original image of the original, and one of the images is developed and transferred to the copy paper, and the image is placed at the paper center position. The pointer (2) is driven and controlled according to the copy size so that the copy size is formed. The above-mentioned pointer (2) is provided movably along the registration guide (4) by a drive section (8) as shown in Fig. 2, and the pointer detection device is provided at a position corresponding to each copy size. sensor for (
5), the position is detected and stopped at that position.

Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the control system. In the figure, (6) is a center mark selection button and The display section (7) and (8) are microcomputer read-only memos! J(
ROM) and a central processing unit (CPU), these constitute a control unit that controls driving and stopping of the pointer (2), etc. (9) is a pointer mechanism including the pointer (2) and the drive section (3); 00 is a pointer mechanism sensor section which is made up of the sensor (5); ), the pointer (2) is detected by the sensor (5) provided at a position corresponding to the copy size as described above, and the pointer (2) is driven by a signal given from the pointer mechanism sensor section αQ to the central processing unit (8). Determined by the timing of stopping.

According to the above configuration, when copying a document having a size as shown by the broken line S in FIG. Then, that information is given to the central processing unit (8) and sent to the pointer mechanism (
9) works. As a result, the pointer (2) is driven, and when it reaches the position detected by the sensor (5) corresponding to the copy size, it is stopped at that position, and as shown in FIG. The original is stopped at a position where the original is aligned with the center position of the copy sheet to be copied.

Therefore, if copying is performed in this state, exposure, development, transfer, etc. will be performed on the image of the pointer (2) in the same way as with the original image, so the paper that is ejected from the copying machine after copying is
The paper is ejected with a punch center mark as a specific indication formed at the center position of the paper. Therefore, even when punching the paper, there is no need to take the trouble of folding the paper in half, and there is no need to perform center-folding of the transfer paper, which was conventionally done after copying. Punching work can be performed efficiently and easily. Furthermore, even when special folding or other processing is required, the pointer mechanism (9) can be controlled according to the purpose so that the image of the pointer (2) is formed at a specific position on the paper. Using this as an indicator, you can easily perform special folding, etc., and also have the function of displaying a punch center mark or an indicator for special folding at a specific position such as the center of the copy paper. Even if the copying function itself is used effectively, it is possible to do this without using a special record forming means. Further, this specific display function can be further expanded to include not only a format in which the above-mentioned marks and indicators are formed on all sheets of paper during copying, but also a control format in which display is performed only on the first sheet, for example. .

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain paper that is discharged after copying and has a specific display such as a punch center mark or an index for special folding, etc. Even when punching work or the like is required, it has the effect of being able to do it efficiently and easily.
