ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic copying machine including consumptive parts or materials which are used or consumed upon every operation is disclosed. In the copying machine, a remainder number of copies to be obtained until consumption of either one of said parts or materials reaches a predetermined value is determined, and a planned total number of copies to be obtained is estimated under copying conditions. Then, it is judged whether or not the copying operation can be completed to obtain said planned total number of copies by comparing said planned total number of copies with said remainder number of copies, and when it is judged that the completion of the copying operation is impossible, a warning is made prior to the start of the copying operation. The copying machine also has a display for displaying the number of reproducible copies and displays a half of the remainder number of copies as the reproducible number of documents when in the both sides copying mode.
