An image forming one which is capable of shortening the first copy time and equalizing the image qualities of a plurality of all output copies when a plurality of copies of the original document are output using the memory copy function is provided. An image data of each one line of an original document is sequentially read by a scanner unit. Whenever the image data of a given portion of the original document less than one page thereof (for example, image data of 8 lines) is accumulated, it is subjected to irreversible compression in a compressing circuit. The irreversible compressed image data which is obtained by this irreversible compression is sequentially stored in a storage area of an image memory or HDD and thereafter is sequentially decompressed in a decompressing circuit. Image forming is sequentially conducted based upon the sequentially decompressed image data in a printing device.
