<p>A copying machine such that both successive automatic sheet feeding and sheet through operation are possible. Two independent units of an original transporting unit (DF) (61) and automatic sheet feeding unit (AF) (600) respectively fulfill an automatic sheet feeding function for successively feeding a plurality of originals (by taking out the originals one by one) and an original transporting function for moving an original to an original supporting plate from a sheet feeding position. The control of the DF (61) is basically made by a control means in the main body of the copying machine and the control of automatic sheet feeding of the AF (600) is made by means of a control means in the AF (600). When the AF (600) performs automatic sheet feeding, the AF (600) controls the original transporting operation of the DF (61) in place of the main body of the copying machine. The AF (600) has a sheet feeding port (301) for successive automatic sheet feeding and a sheet feeding port (302) for single sheet feeding and an original can be inserted directly into the original inserting port (23) of the DF (61) through the second sheet feeding port (302). <IMAGE></p> |
