PURPOSE:To extend a range of magnification by sending a sheet, on which an enlarged or reduced image has been formed, as an original to an image information reading part and, further, repeating an enlarging or reducing process. CONSTITUTION:Plural carrying rollers 13 as sheet carrying means are provided around an image forming part. A sheet carrying linear path B in which a sheet fed by a sheet feeding part is passed through a resist roller pair 6, a transfer/separation charger 7 and a fixing roller 10 and a sheet circulating/ carrying path C which is connected to the sheet carrying path B and continues to a contact glass 11 are formed. The image information of an original placed on the contact glass 11 is read by an optical system 12 in the image information reading part D. When a magnification above the capacity of a variable power means is set, the sheet on which the enlarged or reduced image has been already formed is carried to the image information reading part D. Thereby, the image formed on the sheet, used as the original, is further enlarged or reduced to form the image on another sheet. |
