Abstract

A specific cassette selection apparatus for use with a copying machine having a plurality of removable paper feeding cassettes. The apparatus includes an identification device, a specific copying mode selection device, and a paper feeding cassette selection device. The cassette selection device responds to paper-size identification signals from the identification device and a copying mode selection signal from the mode selection device to select a cassette for use in a selected copying mode. When either a two-sided copying mode or a continuous copying mode is selected, the paper feeding cassette selection device selects a specific paper feeding cassette containing copying paper of only a specific paper size associated with the two-sided copying and/or the continuous copying modes.
