There is also provided a clear key for clearing the set contents and clear control for clearing the set contents of the display mode currently set out of the copy number display mode and the magnification display mode when key input is provided by the above clear key. When key input is provided by the clear key, only the set contents of the display mode currently set out of the copy number display mode and the magnification display mode are cleared.
