Image forming apparatus adapted for reflection-type or transmission-type originals

摘要

The improved color image forming apparatus is adapted for image formation from either a reflection-type original or a transmission-type original by the user who selects the proper exposure optics (or unit) in accordance with the kind and size of the original to be duplicated. The apparatus is capable of image formation with the necessary color and/or density related adjustments being performed by basically the same operating device through basically the same operation without any regard to the kind and size of the original and the desired image of high quality can be formed by a simple method. The color and/or density related adjustment necessary for image formation with the selected exposure optics (or unit) is performed by the same input device without regard to the kind of document to be duplicated.
