PURPOSE:To reduce the size of an installation space necessary for a paper inverting and refeeding passage and to reduce the size of a whole device by connecting a leading-in passage and the inverting passage to a stacker so that their end parts face the upstream side of a copy formation passage. CONSTITUTION:The leading-in passage 13 and inverting passage 18 of the paper inverting and refeeding passage are so united that their end parts connected to the stacker 15 are in parallel to each other and switched by a leading-in/ refeeding guide plate 17, so the paper inverting and refeeding passage is much less in size vertically and horizontally and shorter in the overall passage length between the both than such a passage that said end parts are both provided vertically and horizontally at an interval. Further, the leading-in passage 13 and inverting passage 18 are connected at one end side of the stacker 15, so the front-rear size of the stacker 15 is much less than before. Consequently, the copying machine is reduced in size on the whole. |
