An image processing apparatus is provided which comprises an image reading section for reading an original document by causing an image reading head of the image reading section to move relative to an original document; an image recording section for recording an image on a recording medium in accordance with an image signal; a power source for supplying power to the image reading section and the image recording section; and a control device for controlling the speed of movement of the image reading head according to an operating state of the image recording section. The image processing apparatus of the invention overcomes problems associated with the use of prior art image forming apparatus, such as multi-function copying machines, that include an image reading section and an image recording section, and which require the use of large-capacity power sources for supporting the electrical loads of various components that may be operating simultaneously within the individual apparatuses.
