Abstract
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.
