Toshiba e-studio 160 - Description of Function (Page Memory); Basic Functions - Alternation and Sort Copying

December 2002 TOSHIBA TEC 18 - 5 e-STUDIO160/200/250 PAGE MEMORY BOARD
18.3 Description of Function
18.3.1 Basic functions
(1) Alternation
This operation is achieved by the page memory board compression/decompression and rotation func-
tions. The orientation of multiple copies is switched for each copy or by each page at a time.
Alternation assumes that a cassette of the same paper size having a different orientation is installed
in the digital copier.
(2) Sort copying
This operation is achieved by the compression/ decompression function on the page memory while
being compressed. Image data stored in the memory are then decompressed at each page, and
printed. Assuming that printing of N number of copies has been set, decompression and printing at
each page are repeated for N number of times.
Example :
The following describes an example of execution process where alternation and sorting have been
specified when marking multi-copies.
