Electrophotographic apparatus for printing multiple copies of an image on a photosensitive member

摘要

An electrophotographic apparatus for forming any desired number of copies of a document from the same and single electrostatic charge latent image once formed on a photosensitive drum. The apparatus has a copy number set dial and a copy number counter for storing a desired copy number set by the dial. A control circuit for produces a load signal which serves to transfer the copy number set in the dial into the copy number counter. After the copy number has been transferred from the dial into the counter any desired copy number to be formed for a next document can be set in the dial. In a preferred embodiment the load signal is generated after a duplicating operation for a first copy has been initiated.
