ABSTRACT:
A copying apparatus has a receiving station, an exposure unit, a developing unit, an inspection station and a pricing unit with a memory. A master to be reproduced arrives at the receiving station together with an order for the reproduction thereof. The order has a coded order number which is read by a scanner at the receiving station and entered in the memory to establish a data set. The exposure unit is inoperative upon arrival of the master at the receiving station and is activated only upon entry of the order number. The master is then drawn into the exposure unit where copy material is exposed to light which has illuminated the master. The copy material is developed in the developing unit and the resulting copies are delivered to the inspection station where they are inspected for quality. The number of copies made is entered in the memory and incorporated in the data set with the order number. If, upon inspection, a copy is found to be unsatisfactory, the data set is adjusted by reading an appropriate code with a scanner. This code may be marked on the back of the copy or may be selected from a set of codes which represent respective price adjustments. Once the data set has been corrected, the pricing unit calculates and prints the final price of the order.
