Abstract
A CPU circuit unit of a copying machine judges based on image data read by a reading unit whether or not the image data represents a color image, and controls according to the judged result whether or not image forming of the image data is to be performed, whereby an operation to be performed by a user when plural originals mixedly including color originals and black/white originals are copied can be simplified.
