<p>A method of and device for charging for copies made on a copying machine (12), by means of one of a number of accounting devices (3, 5, 7) being connectable to the copying machine (12) at the same time separately of one another. Charging is effected on the last accounting device (3; 5; 7) to be connected. To this end, the device is provided with a priority value counter (30, 31, 32) at each connection point (2, 4, 6). A priority value counter (30; 31; 32) is set to a highest priority value ("3") whenever an accounting device (3, 5 or 7 respectively) is connected to the associated connection point (2, 4 or 6 respectively) and is then set to a lower priority value ("2" or "1") when an accounting device (5; 7; 3) is connected to one of the other connection points (4; 6; 2). <IMAGE></p> |
