PURPOSE:To make the best use of a memory by counting the number of different copying conditions when copying is performed according to a copying program, comparing the counted value with a predetermined decision value and deciding whether or not input copying conditions are stored as the copying program. CONSTITUTION:According to a prescribed control program, a CPU 31 controls each part of a copying machine main body 40 based on data inputted from a console display panel 1 and instructs the part to take a copy. At this time, copying conditions stored beforehand in the copying program are compared with copying conditions which are about to be stored as the copying program, and the number of different conditions is calculated. If the number exceeds the decision value, the copying program to be stored is stored through a depressed memory key, whereas if the number is below the decision value, the copying program to be stored is not stored. Thus, the memory can be utilized effectively. |
