ABSTRACT:
A copier when its automatic detecting function has determined that it is possible to combine multiple documents, combines the multiple documents into a composite image and copies the image on an output sheet in continuously copying documents of different sizes using an automatic document feeder. The copier detects based on the document size, the reduction rate of the document and the size of an image bearing member whether or not it is possible to combine the reduced images of the following and later documents and copy the resulting image, and contains an image memory for storing the composite image of the documents. In an image forming apparatus, documents of different sizes are checked one by one according to their document size and reduction rate and continuous copying is done in the form of a composite image. An image forming method contains a step of detecting based on the document size, the reduction rate of the document, and the size of an image bearing member whether or not it is possible to combine the reduced images of the following and later documents and copy the resulting image, with respect to each document, in copying documents of different sizes automatically. This makes it possible to obtain a suitable composite image according to the size of each document.
