Both-face copying machine

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To attain a both-face copying while the top-bottom directions of its top and reverse surfaces are made coincident by a simple constitution regardless of the direction of an original by providing an original direction input means and a system switching control means. CONSTITUTION:The original input means is used to input whether the top-bottom direction of the original coincides with or crosses the axis of the form inversion of a form inverting and refeeding mechanism 2. Then the system switching control means controls copying operation. Namely, an automatic both-face copy is taken when the directions are coincident, and when the directions cross each other, originals are fed by an automatic original feeding mechanisms successively, copied, sheet by sheet, and stacked in the intermediate tray 10 of the form inverting and refeeding mechanism 2, when all the originals are fed, a temporary stop is made and when a specific restart input is supplied after the temporary stop, the originals are fed successively by the automatic original feeding mechanism 3. Then, only originals which are not coincident are copied on forms refed from the intermediate tray 10 and the forms after copying are discharged to a paper discharge tray 5. Consequently, a both-face copy is taken while the top-bottom directions of both surfaces are coincident with each other by the simple constitution regardless of the original of the original.
