PURPOSE:To complete a preoperation before a copy start key is depressed, and to shorten a copy time by moving an illuminating optical system to a home position decided according to respective modes, in response to the detachment/attachment detecting signal and consecutive sheet setting signal of a consecutive sheet original feeder, before a copy starting signal is generated. CONSTITUTION:When a computer form feeder, that is, the consecutive sheet original feeder 100 is set on a platen glass 5, a joint switch 103 is turned on, and its detecting signal is detected by the control part 104 of the device 100, and sent to a copying machine control part 28 to obtain a form feeder mode. Then, the illuminating optical system composed of first - third mirrors 7 - 9 is moved up to a second home position 51, that is, a standby position, based on the sent signal, and then, up to an actual operating position. Then, paper feeding speed is determined from the rotational peripheral speed of a drum 2A and a copying magnification, on a CPU incorporating the control part 28, and sent to a control part 104, and a lens 12 is set at a prescribed position. |
