Abstract: A reading apparatus includes an image reader for reading a sheet original positioned at a reading position and an automatic original conveyor for supplying the sheet original onto the reading position, wherein the sheet original can be read through an image flow reading mode while the sheet original is being conveyed by the automatic original conveyor by fixing the image reader at any position. The apparatus also has a convey path for directing the sheet original to the reading position, and a controller for initiating conveyance of the sheet original waiting at a predetermined position in the convey path in response to a flow reading mode start signal during the image flow reading mode and for initiating the image flow reading mode by outputting an image tip signal when a tip end of the sheet original reaches a flow reading image tip position.

Abstract: A sheet processing device which is mounted on an image forming apparatus having a both-side copy mode of forming an image on each side of a sheet member, including a bin module provided with a plurality of bins for accepting sheet members exhausted from the image forming apparatus, and a processor for taking out sheet members exhausted from the bin and processing the sheet members. When the maximum number of sheets continuously producible per unit in the both-side copy mode for the image forming apparatus is N, and the number of bins is m, the number of bins m is set to satisfy the following relational expression:m.gtoreq.N.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet original supply apparatus including a conveyor for conveying a sheet original at a reading portion, and a supply device arranged upstream of the conveyor and adapted to send the sheet original to the conveyor, wherein after the sheet original starts to be conveyed by the conveyor and before the sheet original is read at the reading portion, the restraint of the sheet original by the supply device is released.

Abstract: An original transporting device for transporting an original to an exposure unit of a copying machine which includes a loading tray for loading the originals, a first separation unit, a first transporting unit, a second separation unit, a second transporting unit, a third transporting unit for transporting the original transported by the first transporting unit in a first direction, stopping it at the exposure unit, then transporting it in a second direction and transporting the original transported by the second transporting unit in the second direction to pass through the exposure unit.

Abstract: A photoelectric conversion device having a photoelectric conversion section and a transistor for transferring or amplification of the photoelectric conversion signal or an accumulating section of a photo carrier. The photoelectric conversion section and the transistor or the accumulating section have common semiconductor layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image forming system having an original-stationary scanning mode and an original-through scanning mode characterized by control means for more shortening a sheet supply distance in the original-through scanning more than that in the original-stationary scanning mode.

Abstract: An original feeding apparatus has a first original feeding means for directing an original to an original reading station from one side thereof in an original-stationary scanning mode in which the original is read while fixing the original at the original reading station, and a second original feeding means for directing then original to the original reading station from the other side thereof in an original-through scanning mode in which the original is read while shifting the original along the original reading station.
