PURPOSE:To improve controllability of a device and a rate of operation by providing a separating means for respectively sorting paper to the first containing means, in the case of picture information formed in a transcribed material from the first supply means, and to the second containing means in the case of the information from the second supply means. CONSTITUTION:Unless a discharge gate switching key is turned on, a separating gate 60 is directed toward a side of the first discharge tray 16a, and by turning on a print key, a picture read part 4 and a picture forming part 6 are energized to copy picture information of a document D of a document loading bed 10. On the other hand, when the discharge gate switching key is turned on, a picture signal supply device to the picture forming part 6 is switched from the picture read part 4 to an external device, and the separating gate 60 is switched to a side of the second discharge tray 16b to visualize printing information by a picture signal from the external device. Paper P formed with a picture or printing information is guided to a discharge roller 16 through a fixing device 68 and discharged via the separating gate 60 to the switched first/second discharge trays 16a, 16b. |
