Abstract
A counter control device for use in an electrophotographic copying machine operable selectively in one of a multi-copy mode wherein a copying operation is repeated to produce a plurality of copies with copying papers being automatically fed one at a time and a manual feed mode wherein the copying operation is carried out by the use of copying papers fed manually one at a time. The counter control device includes a multi-copy mode counter, a manual feed mode counter and a display unit capable of displaying the number of copies to be made not only in the multi-copy mode but in the manual feed mode, thus eliminating the need for utilizing any other complicated counter device or special display unit.
