Abstract
An electrophotographic copying apparatus comprises a photosensitive member (4) exposed by light reflected from an original to form an image of the original thereon, mechanism (13) for developing the image on the photosensitive member with toner (9, 10, 11, 12) to produce a toner image corresponding the image mechanism (24) for transferring the toner image onto a transfer material, mechanism (26) for fixing the toner image transferred on the transfer material, mechanism (27) for producing a signal which represents that high surface glossiness of the image copy is required, and mechanism (31, 32) for feeding the transfer material in a first path when the signal is produced, the transfer material being fixed fully, and for feeding the transfer material in a second path shorter than the first path when the signal is not produced.
