る。Prior Art and its Problems In recent years, as copying machines have become more multi-functional, a large number of operation switches have come to be placed on the operation panel to operate them. However, some of these operating switches are rarely used for normal copying. Placing these less frequently used operating switches in the same row as other frequently used switches not only complicates the operation but also causes operational errors. Therefore, these less frequently used operation switches are covered with a lid that can be opened and closed, allowing settings to be made using the less frequently used operation switches only when the lid is opened, and the settings are cleared when the lid is closed. This will further improve operability and reduce operational errors. However, in a copying machine having an interrupt function, the above method has the following problems. Now, for example, when the cover is opened and the "dark" mode among the switches that are used less frequently is selected and the interrupt switch is turned on to perform a known interrupt copy while copying is in progress, the interrupt copy becomes possible. This interrupt processing saves the settings made by switches before the interrupt to the memory when the interrupt occurs, and makes it possible to copy the settings by operating the operation switches during interrupt mode. When returning from an interrupt, the interrupt switch is normally pressed again to read out the settings of the switches saved in the memory and return to the original state.
しかしながら割込み複写を行う者が割り込み複

モードに復帰してもこれを確認できなかつた。 However, if the person doing the interrupt copying closes the lid during interrupt copying, the settings that were saved after interrupt copying are returned to their original state, and this cannot be confirmed even after returning to the special mode. .

と誤操作の防止などを図ろうとするものである。 This invention was made for the purpose of solving this problem, and when the lid is closed during interrupt copying, a display indicating that the lid will be opened at the end of the interrupt is displayed to confirm the special mode after interrupt copying. The present invention aims to provide an operating device for a copying machine that facilitates operation, thereby improving operability and preventing erroneous operations.

ている。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an operation panel (not shown) arranged at an easy-to-operate position of a copying machine, and includes an interrupt switch 2, a tray selection switch 3, a start and stop switch. 4, 5, a display section 6, a numeric keypad 7 for setting the number of copies, etc. are arranged in sequence, and a recess 1a is provided on one end side.
Inside a, there are installed switches 8 that are rarely used, such as copy density selection switches 8 1 and 8 2 , reduction ratio selection switches 8 3 and 8 4 , and a special mode switch 10 . Further, a lid 12 which can be opened and closed at one end is provided at the opening of the recess 1a, and by opening the lid 12, the concentration selection switches 8 1 , 8 which are used less frequently can be selected. 2 and reduction ratio selection switches 8 3 and 8 4 can be operated, and by closing the lid 12 after use, the special mode switch 10 is turned on by the lid 12, allowing the switch 8 to be operated less frequently. 1 ,

示する表示器である。 The operation signals of the switches provided on the operation panel 1 are input one by one to the control section 13 made up of a microcomputer, and the control signals outputted from the control section 13 based on these inputs control the various parts of the copying machine. Controlled system 14 is controlled. When the lid 12 is opened to perform copying using the switches 8 that are used less frequently, the special mode switch 10 that has been turned on in the lid 12 is turned off. In this state, for example, when the copy density selection switch 8 1 is operated to set the copy density, the displays 15 1 , 15 2 , etc. attached to each switch 8 will be displayed.
The display 151 indicating the concentration is lit to indicate that the concentration has been set. When copying is performed next, a copy with the set density is obtained, and if there is an interruption copy during continuous copying at this density, the following processing is performed. Note that 155 is a display that displays the interrupt mode.

モードから復帰させる。 If the interrupt switch 2 is pressed during continuous copying, the process advances from the step shown in FIG. 5 to determine whether the machine is in interrupt mode. If it is not in interrupt mode, it advances to step 2 to change to interrupt mode and determine whether it is in interrupt mode. If so, proceed to step to return from interrupt mode.

である。 In the interrupt mode, new settings can be made using switches regardless of the operation of the switches before the interrupt, and thereby interrupt copying is possible.

を判定する。 Next, considering the case where the lid 12 is closed during the above-mentioned interrupt copying, it is first determined in step whether the interrupt mode is in progress, and if it is in the interrupt mode, the process advances to step and it is determined whether the special mode switch 10 has been pressed. do.

ていることを確認することができる。 The special mode switch 10 is activated by closing the lid body 12.
Since it is turned on, the process advances to a step and it is determined from the setting contents of the switches 8 saved in the memory whether the indicator that lights up when a switch 8 that is infrequently used is pressed was lit before the interrupt. If there is one that is lit, proceed to step, set the memory open flag, and proceed to step. In the step, it is determined again whether an interrupt is in progress, and if the interrupt is in progress, the process returns to the step.
If the interrupt copying has already been completed, the process advances to step and determines whether the open flag is set. Since the open flag is set up on a step, proceed to the step and remove the lid body 12.
A display is displayed on the display section 6 to the effect that it will be released. As a result, even if the lid 12 is closed during an interrupt, when the interrupt mode ends, a display indicating that the lid 12 is to be opened is displayed . You can check that it is set.

れ、一連の動作を終了する。 On the other hand, when the lid 12 is opened according to the display, it is determined in a step whether a message indicating that the lid 12 is to be opened is displayed, and if so, the process advances to a step to check whether the special mode switch 10 is turned on. judge. Since the special mode switch 10 is turned off by the opening of the lid 12, the process proceeds to step, the display indicating that the lid 12 is to be opened is turned off, and the series of operations ends.

なる。 As described in detail above, even if there is an interruption copying during continuous copying in a special mode and the lid covering the switches that are not used frequently is closed during the interruption copying, the lid is opened after the interruption copying. By opening the lid in accordance with this display, it becomes easy to confirm that the special mode has already been set. In addition, during normal times when interrupt copying is not being performed, the special mode settings are cleared by closing the lid after copying in the special mode, so there is no need to clear the special mode settings each time.
Operability is further improved and erroneous operations are reduced.
