发明名称 COPYING DEVICE
摘要 PURPOSE:To prevent the interruption of an operation in the middle of a copying operation by causing a control means to compare the copying performable number of sheets with the specified number of sheets to be copied when a detection means detects the fullness of discharged toner, outputting and displaying a discharged toner fullness signal when the specified number of sheets to be copied exceeds the copying performable number of sheets and setting the device in a copying inhibited state. CONSTITUTION:This device is provided with the control means 400 for comparing the number of sheets to which copying can be performed until the copying inhibited state is set after detecting the fullness of the discharged toner by the detection means 204 with the specified number of sheets to be copied which is inputted from an operation part 300. At the time of detecting that a discharged toner collecting bottle is full of the discharged toner by the means 204, the control means 400 compares the number of sheets to which copying can be performed until the copying is inhibited with the specified number of sheets to be copied which is inputted from the operation part by a user. When the specified number of sheets to be copied exceeds the copying performable number of sheets, the discharged toner fullness signal is outputted and the effect is displayed on the operation part 300, then the copying inhibited state is set. Thus, the operation is prevented from being interrupted because the copying inhibited state is set in the middle of copying operation.
