Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A system for controlling a copying or printing system comprising: video means for displaying orthographic and imaginal displays to the operator, pointing means under operator control for determining a selected point on said video means, and for generating electrical signals which are a function of the location of said point on said video means, sensors in said system to sense the system status, drivers in said system to drive the system to a selected status, means for generating displays on said video means in response to said signals and the system status sensed by said sensors and for commanding said drivers in response to said pointing means electrical signals and the system status sensed by said sensors, wherein said means for generating is a computer comprising programs, said system sensors include a measuring means for determining the size of the paper loaded in the paper tray, and said means for generating, in response to said measuring means, produces a display for said video means to indicate the copy paper size.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
170 words
A system for controlling a copying or printing system comprising: video means for displaying orthographic and imaginal displays to the operator, pointing means under operator control for determining a selected point on said video means, and for generating electrical signals which are a function of the location of said point on said video means, sensors in said system to sense the system status, drivers in said system to drive the system to a selected status, means for generating displays on said video means in response to said signals and the system status sensed by said sensors and for commanding said drivers in response to said pointing means electrical signals and the system status sensed by said sensors, wherein said means for generating is a computer comprising programs, said system sensors include a measuring means for determining the size of the paper loaded in the paper tray, and said means for generating, in response to said measuring means, produces a display for said video means to indicate the copy paper size.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said means for generating, in response to an appropriate signal from said pointing means, produces a display for said video means to indicate the original paper size.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said system further comprises means for adjusting the system optics in response to said measuring means and said pointing means signals to adjust the optic focal length and aperture so that the original image, through magnification or reduction, will be printed at the copy paper size.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said system further comprises means for adjusting the copier optics in response to said measuring means and said pointing means signals to adjust the optic focal length and aperture so that there will be a variable amount of magnification or reduction of the image.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said means for generating will produce for said video means a display comprising a bar indication displaying the amount of magnification or reduction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said means for generating will produce for said video means a display comprising a two-dimensional representation of the copy size and the original image as it will look on the copy in its magnified or reduced size.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
62 words
The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: means for determining the average light value of the current original image, toner means, responsive to said means for determining, for applying to the photoreceptor belt an amount of toner to produce a copy of pre-determined density, and density adjustment means, responsive to signals produced by said pointing means, for changing said pre-determined density value.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said means for generating displays further comprises means for generating a bar display showing the adjusted toner density value.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
61 words
The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising bias means responsive to signals produced by said pointing means, for changing the bias voltage on the system developer roll to reduce the printing of paste-up lines and faint marks on the original, and wherein said means for generating generates a bar display for said video means indicating the amount of developer roll bias.
