Image forming apparatus capable of automatically interleaving normal image copies between corresponding transparency image copies
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image forming apparatus capable of forming a color image, comprising:
- an image forming means for forming an image;
a setting means for setting an intervening sheet mode, said intervening sheet mode being set by one operation of an input key;
a copy operation control means for controlling a copy operation sequence, when the intervening sheet mode is set, to alternately discharge transparent sheets and corresponding intervening sheets, each transparent sheet being copied from an original document image and each corresponding intervening sheet being copied from the same original document image, so as to pile on each other; and
an image forming control means for controlling the image forming means, under said copy operation sequence in the intervening sheet mode, to form color copy images on the transparent sheets and to form monochrome copy images on the intervening sheets.

Abstract
A color image forming apparatus which controls a copy operation sequence, when an intervening sheet mode is set, to alternately discharge intervening sheets copied with an original document image and OHP sheets copied with the identical original image so as to pile on each other. Under the copy operation sequence in the intervening sheet mode, the color image forming apparatus is controlled to form a full-color copy image on the OHP sheets and to form a monochrome copy image on the intervening sheets.

5. An image forming apparatus capable of forming a color image, comprising:
-
an image forming means for selectively forming a color image or a monochrome image of an original document; a mode setting means for setting an intervening sheet mode to alternately discharge transparent sheets and corresponding intervening sheets, each transparent sheet being copied from an original document image and each corresponding intervening sheet being copied from the same original document image, so as to pile on each other, said intervening sheet mode being set by one operation of an input key; and a control means for controlling said image forming means, when the intervening sheet mode is set, to form a color image on a transparent sheet, and to form a monochrome image on a sheet other than the transparent sheet. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
