Image forming apparatus.

摘要

An image forming apparatus can be achieved as, for example, a copying machine. The copying machine according to the present invention comprises a handy scanner (31) provided detachably from the main body(1) of the copying machine and an additional data recording device (9) for recording data read by the handy scanner (31) as additional data in addition to a mechanism for reading an image of a document disposed on an original glass plate(2) to copy the same on recording paper. The handy scanner(31) can read arbitrary image data such as a figure, a designed character or a logotype. The image data read by the handy scanner (31) is applied to the additional data recording device(9). If the paper on which the document image has been copied is applied to the additional data recording device(9), the additional data recording device(9) records the additional data on the rear end of the paper on which the document image has been copied. The additional data recording device(9) is operated after the document image is copied, the paper being conveyed at a speed different from that at the time of copying the document image during the operation. <IMAGE>
