Copying machine with copying modes for copying on overhead projector sheets and paper

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit for optically scanning a document to accomplish an image formation, a first paper supply port for accommodating a batch of OHP sheets, a second paper supply port for accommodating a batch of copying papers. A first selector is used to set an OHP copy mode as one operation relative to one document during which, after a copy paper supplied from the second paper supply port has been discharged, an OHP sheet is supplied from the first paper supply port and is, after an image has been formed thereon by the image forming unit, discharged. A second selector is operable to set a multi-copy mode in which using the copy papers accommodated in the second paper supply port a multiple copy is carried out, and a third selector is operable to set a copying condition. The copying condition is controlled by a control unit so as to be applied only during the multi-copy mode, set by the second selector, when the OHP copy mode is set by the first selector and, at the same time, the multi-copy mode is set by the second selector.
