PURPOSE:To limit wasteful copying by providing a card inserting mechanism, a reading circuit, a lock means, a voice synthesizing and output device, a signal generating means, a password number input key, and a password number check function. CONSTITUTION:When a card 1 is inserted and the number of copies is set to a counter 11 and a password number is inputted and a switch 10 is operated, copies whose number is equal to the number set to the counter 11 are obtained if contents of the card 1 are not zero. If contents of the card 1 are zero when the card 1 is inserted and the number of copies is set to the counter 11 and the switch 10 is operated, copying is not performed because output '1' is not outputted from a gate 16. Though copying is started when contents of the card 1 are not zero, copying is stopped when contents of the card 1 go to zero. When the allowable number of copies is smaller than a prescribed value, a prescribed output is outputted from a voice synthesizing circuit 18 and is outputted as a voice by a speaker 19. Thus, wasteful copying is limited. |
