Electrophotographic coyping machine

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To take a copy after an original is conveyed automatically to a exposure position by operating a copying machine and an original conveying device associatively in composite copy mode wherein two originals are synthetically copied on one surface of an sheet of copying paper. CONSTITUTION:The two originals are copied on the front half and latter half of one sheet of copying paper in composite copy mode by making a scan twice. The image of the 1st original (original 1) is obtained at the conveyance- directional front part (right side) by exposure for the 1st scan and the image of the 2nd original (original 2) is obtained at the conveyance-directional rear part (left side) by exposure for the 2nd scan. In such a case, the copying paper is conveyed by a half at every scan in this case. Both modes are set selectively and their switching is performed through the operation of a mode changeover key SW 12. Further, copying operation in each mode is started when a print key SW 11 or ADF start switch SSW is turned on. The copying machine and ADF cooperate with each other to take a composite copy in the absence of an operator.
