Abstract
Abstract A checking apparatus for a copier includes check drive circuits having functions indentical to that of load driving circuits normally operated by a controller. The load driving circuits are bypassed in the check mode so that the loads are selectively operated by the check drive circuits, to test the output of a microprocessor or like device serving as a controller.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
Test apparatus for use with an electrophotographic copier control system comprising; sensor means in said copier, a controller receiving inputs from said sensor means and generating outputs for driving plural loads via drive circuits, means for switching said controller to a check mode, check drive circuits having equivalent circuits as said drive circuits, and means for selectively coupling said check drive circuits to said loads, to thereby check the output of said controller.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
Test apparatus for use with an electrophotographic copier control system comprising; sensor means in said copier, a controller receiving inputs from said sensor means and generating outputs for driving plural loads via drive circuits, means for switching said controller to a check mode, check drive circuits having equivalent circuits as said drive circuits, and means for selectively coupling said check drive circuits to said loads, to thereby check the output of said controller.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, said check drive circuits being coupled to said means for switching said controller.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
33 words
A device as claimed in claims 1 or 2, wherein said means for selectively coupling comprises a check point short wire connecting outputs of said check drive circuits to inputs of selected loads.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A device as claimed in claim 3, further including a base plate including means electrically connected to each said load, and said check point short wire being selectively sequentially connected thereto.
