1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a copy condition storage section configured to store a copy condition depending on a size of an original document to be copied, with the copy condition associated with at least a document width of the original document along a main scanning direction of the original document; a document width detecting section configured to detect the document width of the original document to be copied along the main scanning direction of the original document to be copied; a copy condition readout section configured to read out, from the copy condition storage section, the copy condition associated with the document width detected by the document width detecting section; an image forming section configured to form an image on a recording paper sheet; an image reading section configured to read the original document to be copied, thus acquiring an image of the original document; and a control section configured to allow the image forming section to form the image acquired by the image reading section on the recording paper sheet according to the copy condition read out by the copy condition readout section, wherein the image forming apparatus is capable of selectively setting a same-width mixed-size mode or a different-width mixed-size mode, when an operator sets the image forming apparatus in the same-width mixed-size mode and a plurality of original documents are to be read by the image reading section, the document width detecting section detects the document width of only the first of the plurality of original documents to be read and the copy condition readout section reads out the copy condition associated with the detected document width of the first original document as the copy condition for all of the plurality of original documents to be read, and when the operator sets the image forming apparatus in the different-width mixed-size mode and a plurality of original documents are to be read by the image reading section, the document width detecting section detects the document widths of all of the plurality of original documents to be read and the copy condition readout section reads out the respective copy conditions associated with the document widths of all of the plurality of original documents to be read from the copy condition storage section.
