<p>Or the Disclosure Disclosed herein is a document copier which features an electronic collator for automatically producing collated multipage copies of a multipage original. m e copier includes a document reader component for producing electrical signals representative of the image information contained by the lndlvldual pages Or the multipage original. m e electronic collator includes an addressable multipage memory, responsive to the signals produced by the document reader, for storing an electronic representation of the image information in the multipage original document, and a programmable central processing unit for extracting the stored image information in a predetermined sequence and for repetitively applying signals representative of such stored information to a printing component. The latter records image information on discrete copy sheets and delivers the copy sheets in a selectable order, such as the page order of the original document. The electronic collator obviates the need of conventional copiers to use either a mechanical sorter to collate the copier output, or a recirculating document feeder to collate the copier input.</p> |
