PURPOSE:To simplify the arrangement of a change-over mechanism for transfer paths, by enabling a transfer path directed from a conveyor belt to a discharge section, a transfer path directed from the conveyor belt to a reversing section and a transfer path directed from the reversing section to the conveyor belt to be changed over by means of a single movable pawl. CONSTITUTION:After completion of copying operation a conveyor belt 9 is rotated clockwise to feed out an original copy on a platen 2 in the first transfer direction, and therefore, the original copy is guided by a change-over pawl 32 to be fed into a second reversing section 16 where the front and rear surfaces of the original copy are reversed before the original copy is discharged onto a paper discharge tray 15. Meanwhile, in order to carry out the bisurface copying operation, the change-over pawl 32 is moved to the first position, and therefore, the original copy fed out by means of the conveyor belt 9 is guided by the change-over pawl 32 and a lower guide member 33, and then is fed out through an output port 20 after being reversed guided through a first reversing means inlet port 18a. Further, the copy is fed in between the conveyor belt 9 reversely t=rotated and the platen 2 from a passage 32a. Further, after completion copying operation of the second surface of the original copy, the latter is fed into a second conveyor means 16 and is discharged onto the paper discharge tray 15. |
