Abstract
A programmable copier capable of making copies from a plurality of originals from which one or more copies are to be made in accordance with copy information temporarily stored in a memory is provided. The copier is provided with a CPU for checking as to whether the total number of copies to be made for the next copy job when added to the total number of copies thus far stored exceeds the maximum number of copies producible from the remaining amount of toner or copy paper, and, if it has been found to be exceeded, that copy job is inhibited from being stored and a warning signal to that effect is indicated.
