Abstract
A copying apparatus which is equipped with a scanning system control device including means for judging sizes of copy paper sheets employed, means for detecting copying magnifications, and means for controlling movement of the scanning system of the copying apparatus so as to correspond to the area available for copying or copying coverage to be determined by the judged size and detected copying magnification. The movement of the scanning system is not controlled by the size of the original or copy paper sheet itself, but is regulated to correspond to the area available for the copying on an original platform to be determined by the copy paper size and copying magnification.
