Copying machine capable of forming filing margins on both sides of copy paper

Claim 2

A copying machine comprising: image forming means capable of operating in a single-side copying mode in which an image of a document is formed on one side of a copying paper, and in a double-side copying mode in which images of documents are formed on both sides of a copying paper, respectively, copying mode selecting means for selecting either the single-side copying mode or the double-side copying mode; filing margin forming means for forming an image of a document on a copying paper on a reduced scale to form a filing margin in a direction of conveyance of the copying paper; filing margin forming mode selecting means for actuating said filing margin forming means to form a filing margin; and control means for making the leading edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a document in copying the image of the document on the first side of the copying paper and for making the leading edge of the copying paper coincide with the trailing edge of an image of a document in copying the image of the document on the second side of the copying paper, when both the double-side copying mode and the filing margin forming mode have been chosen.

Claim 3

A copying machine comprising: image forming means capable of operating in a single-side copying mode in which an image of a document is formed on one side of a copying paper and in a double-side copying mode in which images of documents are formed on both sides of a copying paper, respectively; copying mode selecting means for selecting either the single-side copying mode or the double-side copying mode; filing margin forming means for forming an image of a document on a copying paper on a reduced scale to form a filing margin in a direction of conveyance of the copying paper; filing margin forming mode selecting means for actuating said filing margin forming means to form a filing margin; and control means for making the trailing edge of a copying paper coincide with the trailing edge of an image of a document in copying the image of the document on the first side of the copying paper and for making the trailing edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a document in copying the image of the document on the second side of the copying paper, when both the double-side copying mode and the filing margin forming mode have been chosen.

Claim 4

A copying machine comprising: image forming means capable of operating in a single-side copying mode in which an image of a document is formed on one side of a copying paper and in a double-side copying mode in which images of documents are formed on both sides of a copying paper, respectively; copying mode selecting means for selecting either the single-side copying mode or the double-side copying mode; filing margin forming means for forming an image of a document on a copying paper on a reduced scale to form a filing margin in a direction of conveyance of the copying paper; filing margin forming mode selecting means for actuating said filing margin forming means to form a filing margin; and control means for making the trailing edge of a copying paper coincide with the trailing edge of an image of a document in copying the image of the document on the first side of the copying paper and for making the trailing edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a document in copying the image of the document on the second side of the copying paper, when both the double-side copying mode and the filing margin forming mode have been chosen.

Claim 5

A copying machine capable of selectively applying a plurality of magnifications and making the leading edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a document irrespective of magnification, which comprises: copying means which copies an image of a first document on a first side of a copying paper fed to an image forming unit, inverts the same copying paper carrying an image copied on the first side thereof so that the copying paper is turned upside down and the leading edge and trailing edge thereof are reversed, refeeds the inverted copying paper to the image forming unit, and copies an image of a second document on the second side of the same copying paper; filing margin forming command input means; and copying operation control means which, in response to a filing margin forming command, makes the leading edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a first document and copies the image of the first document on the first side of the copying paper on a predetermined reduced scale, and then makes the leading edge of the same copying paper coincide with the trailing edge of an image of a second document and copies the image of the second document on the second side of the same copying paper on the predetermined reduced scale.

Claim 6

A copying machine capable of selectively applying a plurality of magnifications and making the leading edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a document irrespective of magnification, which comprises: copying means which copies an image of a first document on a first side of a copying paper fed to an image forming unit, inverts the same copying paper carrying an image copied on the first side thereof so that the copying paper is turned upside down and the leading edge and trailing edge thereof are reversed, refeeds the inverted copying paper to the image forming unit, and copies an image of a second document on the second side of the same copying paper; filing margin forming command input means; and copying operation control means which, in response to a filing margin forming command, makes the leading edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a first document and copies the image of the first document on the first side of the copying paper on a predetermined reduced scale, and then makes the leading edge of the same copying paper coincide with the trailing edge of an image of a second document and copies the image of the second document on the second side of the same copying paper on the predetermined reduced scale.

Claim 7

A copying machine capable of selectively applying a plurality of magnifications and making the leading edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a document irrespective of magnification, which comprises: copying means which copies an image of a first document on the first side of a copying paper fed to an image forming unit, inverts the same copying paper carrying the image on the first side thereof so that the copying paper is turned upside down and the leading edge and trailing edge thereof are reversed, refeeding the inverted copying paper to the image forming unit, and copies an image of a second document on the second side of the same copying paper; filing margin forming command input means; and copying operation control means which, in response to a filing margin forming command, makes the trailing edge of a copying paper coincide with the trailing edge of an image of a first document, copies the image of the first document on the first side of the copying paper on a predetermined reduced scale, and then makes the trailing edge of the same copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a second document, and copies the image of the second document on the second side of the same copying paper on a predetermined reduced scale.

Claim 8

A copying machine capable of selectively applying a plurality of magnifications and making the leading edge of a copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a document irrespective of magnification, which comprises: copying means which copies an image of a first document on the first side of a copying paper fed to an image forming unit, inverts the same copying paper carrying the image on the first side thereof so that the copying paper is turned upside down and the leading edge and trailing edge thereof are reversed, refeeding the inverted copying paper to the image forming unit, and copies an image of a second document on the second side of the same copying paper; filing margin forming command input means; and copying operation control means which, in response to a filing margin forming command, makes the trailing edge of a copying paper coincide with the trailing edge of an image of a first document, copies the image of the first document on the first side of the copying paper on a predetermined reduced scale, and then makes the trailing edge of the same copying paper coincide with the leading edge of an image of a second document, and copies the image of the second document on the second side of the same copying paper on a predetermined reduced scale.
