Copy paper delivery timing control device

Abstract

Disclosed is a copy paper delivery-timing control device which includes the following: a home position sensor that detects the home position of the original scanner; a pulse-generator for generating a specific number of pulses corresponding to the travelling distance of the scanner; a counter that activates counting of a specific number of pulses when the scanner passes through its home position; a timer for activating counting as soon as the value of the counter exactly matches a specific value denoting the tip position of the original; a device for starting transfer of copy paper to the transference position as soon as the timer fully counts up the predetermined time; and a control device for activating the timer when the '1-set/2-copy' mode is entered for continuously copying both the left half and the right half of the original on individual copying papers. In this mode, the timing for activating the timer is set when the value of the counter exactly matches the value corresponding to the tip position of the right half of the original before eventually copying the right half of the original.
