ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a scanner, moved between the end portions of an original table, for projecting light toward the original on the table. The scanner is inclined from a direction perpendicular to the table in a direction of one end of the table to scan the original. A gate-like stopper is movable between a contact position and a separate position. At the contact position, the stopper sets the original at a position located away from the end edge of the table by a predetermined distance so that the original is set to fall outside a region where light from the scanner is attenuated. The apparatus also includes a gate of elastic sheet for allowing movement of the original from an original feed device onto the table while being elastically pushed aside by the original fed onto the table, and for guiding the original ejected from the table by an original eject device to an external guide member while resisting the original ejected from the table not to be pushed aside by the ejected original. The feed and eject devices are controlled to feed a new original while an original being ejected from the table.
