PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for sorting by associating an image forming operation with the order of carrying originals under specific relations, and ejecting image-formed papers in a requested order. CONSTITUTION:In a first process, an original is set in a reading position, the picture of the original is reproduced on the set number of papers, and the papers are ejected; the operation is performed for each original. For example, in a case where three copies are made for each of originals A-C, copied papers are successively ejected in the following order: A, A, A, B, B, B, C, C, and C. On the other hand, in a second process, when an original which has come to the reading position is read and its picture is reproduced on one paper, the following original comes to the reading position, therefore the picture of this original is reproduced on one paper; this is repeated for each original; and then the series of operations is repeated the set number of times. Therefore, for example, in a case where three copies are made for each of the originals A-C, the copied papers are successively ejected in the following order: A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, and C. This eliminate the need for sorting. |
