ABSTRACT:
A copying apparatus capable of automatically reproducing an image at different magnifications without operator's paper selections as well as automatically making a copy of a selected area of a document with an optimum size. The apparatus comprises an image forming device having a plurality of copying modes; paper feeding devices accommodating copy paper sheets of different size; a copying mode selecting mechanism; and a paper feeder selecting mechanism, wherein the selection is effected in response to the selection of the copying mode, regardless of a size of a document.
A control method capable of automatically reproducing an image at different magnifications without operator's paper selection as well as automatically making a copy of selected area of a document with an optimum size. The method comprises the steps of: selecting a copying mode; designating a copy paper size corresponding to the selected copying mode; selecting the copy paper sheet if there is a copy paper sheet with the designated size in an automatic paper feeder; and indicating a request of feeding manually its copy paper sheet if there is no copy paper sheet in the automatic paper feeder.
