Producing copies on system printer by using scanner to capture image data for a succession of pages and a control unit on the printer motor which is able to receive the data and direct the motor

摘要

The copying system uses a scanner (3) which has receiving platforms (4,5) and works in conjunction with a system printer (2). The scanner has a copying processor which is linked to a printer motor control unit and the printer motor through an interface and an input/ output port. The scanner collects the image data from a series of different pages and the printer uses the data to produce any desired numbers of each type of page
