A dark part scanning period is selected by a selecting means 104 and the half of the scanning time is calculated by an arithmetic means 105 and a dark part scanning period which contains the arithmetic result is found by a searching means 106 and stored in the 2nd storage means 107. An erasing means 108 inputs various pieces of information like this from the 1st and the 2nd storage means 103 and 107 during the copying operation and erase the unnecessary image of the binding part, etc., of the original. |
