  • Image forming apparatus with an image scanning apparatus and an automatic document feeder
    Patent number: 5241346
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus of the present invention has an image forming device including an image scanning device and an automatic document feeder. A document on a platen located on the image forming device is positioned in a predetermined position. The scanning device starts the scanning operation from a starting position opposite to the predetermined position. The scanning position of the scanning device is individually determined to be a position corresponding to the document size detected by the detecting device. Therefore, the image forming operation is performed without failing to form the image on the copying paper. Furthermore, the speed of the image forming operation is increased.
