Abstract: A double-side digital copier reads an image on documents fed into an image reading unit in accordance with a predetermined cycle based on copying conditions such as the number of copies to be made and single/double-side copying, and the number of documents and copy sheets temporarily maintained in the respective circulation paths formed therein. Further the image data obtained by that reading are stored in two memories alternately, one of the memories alone, or both the memories in a predetermined order in accordance with the predetermined cycle, and are read out in a corresponding order, optimizing throughput without increasing the manufacturing costs.
Abstract: A data entry apparatus for an electrophotographic copying machine which forms an image of a document on a photoconductor and transfers the image to a paper, including data input keys for specifying data to be written, a position device for specifying an area on a document in the unit of a block which can divide the whole area of the document into a plurality of blocks and for displaying those blocks on a panel in order to choose either one of them a data write member for writing entered data on an area of the photoconductor corresponding to the area specified with respect to the document while the light from the specified area of the document cut off is also provided.
Abstract: A display device for use in a camera comprises a central processing unit and display units to display exposure data and various control modes under the control of the CPU. The display units are arranged to display the exposure data with suitable marks or characters in rows so as to make the operator to read the display easily. The CPU provides control data to deenergize the display unit at the time of initial states of the camera such as at the time of loading a battery in the camera to prevent to display confusing information.
Abstract: A signal processing device comprises buffer memory means for outputting a coded signal in parallel by a signal of predetermined bits, shifting means for shifting the coded signal so that the head bit of the coded signal become the head of the outputted signal, decoding memory means for decoding the coded signal to a run length signal having information of the run length of the coded signal, and outputting a shifting signal designating a bit number of the coded signal corresponding to the number to be shifted, into said shifting means. Accordingly, said signal processing device enables to decode a coded signal at a higher speed than a conventional image signal processing device and to output an image signal into an electrophotographic printer or a CRT display, synchronizing with a processing speed of the electrophotographic printer or a sub scanning speed of the CRT display.
