A copying machine managing apparatus identifies information recorded on a plurality of using section magnetic cards and on an administrative department magnetic card. The plurality of using section magnetic cards are respectively assigned to using sections and bearing thereon respective using section codes. When one of the using section magnetic card is inserted in a slit of the copying machine managing apparatus, the using section code is identified and a copying machine associated therewith is made operable. The number copies produced by the particular using section is accumulated by a digital computer at each production of a copy and stored in an RAM. The accumulated number is at the same time indicated on an indicator window of the managing apparatus. When the administrative department magnetic card is inserted in the slit, the accumulated number of copies for each using section is successively read out from the RAM and indicated on the indicator window. The successive read out and indication of the accumulated number of each using section is continued as long as the administrative department magnetic card is kept inserted in the slit of the managing apparatus.

A management system for a copying machine includes a detection circuit for determining whether the information representing a department of the user recorded on a magnetic card is properly read and for providing an operation signal to the copying machine to make it operable. A memory unit having a plurality of storage locations counts a pulse signal generated by the copying machine everytime a copy is produced and stores the date indicative of the total number of produced copies at a storage location assigned in accordance with the read-out information of a department. The total number of copies produced by each of different departments of users is displayed together with the indication of the department by a visual display unit.

Management system for copying machines

In a packaged electric part for controlling the operation of an engine, is provided a switching circuit which is turned on to let the electric part operative when and only when an inputted code coincides with a preliminarily set code. The coincidence of the codes is checked in a logical checkup circuit. The switching circuit is integrated within the electric part. Therefore, the thiefproof lock of an automobile can be greatly improved very much.
