Copying machine suitable for the production of duplex copies from duplex originals

摘要

The copying machine comprises an original transport means having transport paths (9,10,16; 10,18,31; 30, 22, 28, 29,18, 31) for simplex and duplex originals, and at least two copy transport paths for feeding finished copies from the image transfer means (53, 55, 56) to a collection station (68). One copy transport path (70, 72) being so designed that a duplex copy fed therethrough is delivered to the collection station (68) with the first printed side facing downwards and the other copy transport path (70, 73) being so designed that a duplex copy fed therethrough is delivered to the collection station (68) with the last printed side facing downwards. The copying machine further comprises selecting means (S,D1,D2,F) for selecting the desired type of copies, a detector (37,37A) in the original transport path (9) for determining whether an original fed therethrough is simplex or duplex and control means (100) for regulating the transport of copy sheets dependent on the type of originals detected by the detector (37,37A) and the type of copies selected with the selecting means (S,D1,D2,F).
