ABSTRACT:
An automatic method and copier apparatus for producing a transparent foil copy and a paper backup sheet of an original document sheet is disclosed. Two modes of operation are described. One mode produces one foil copy and a paper backup copy. A second mode produces one foil copy and a blank backup sheet. A copier is disclosed having two paper supply bins. Blank foils are loaded into one bin, whereas blank paper is loaded into the other bin. In the first mode of operation, two consecutive copies are made of each original document. One copy is made on blank foil taken from said one bin, followed by a second copy made on a blank sheet of copy paper taken from said other bin. In the second mode of operation, one copy is made on blank foil, followed by feeding a sheet of blank paper without making a copy thereon. In each mode of operation, the result is a two sheet set comprising a first foil sheet and a second paper sheet. When a multisheet original document is copied, the document is copied using a document feeder, copying continues until all original sheets have been copied, and the foil/paper sets of each original sheet are stacked in an output means in collated sequence. A number of cathode ray tube display screens assists the operator in controlling the copier to produce these modes of operation. Alternatively, buttons are used to assist the operator in so controlling the copier.
