Abstract

In a copy machine, two documents are arranged side-by-side on a document table. The documents respectively are copied on copy sheets of the same size as that of the document. In an optical system for scanning the document in the direction of the width of the document, the scanning speed is made to slow down more than that of the normal mode. With the slow down of the scanning speed, images of the document enlarged in the direction of the width of the documents are formed on a photosensitive drum. The enlarged images except the joint portion of the two images are transferred to the copy sheets.
