Abstract
The invention disclosed relates to a copying machine to which an automatic document feeder is attachable. A control apparatus therefor according to the present invention operates in the following control modes: When a document is placed on a document support table at the time a print key is depressed, a copying cycle is started without operating an automatic document feeder. When there is no document on the document support table and a document is set in the ADF, the ADF is operated to start a copying cycle in an ADF mode. When no document is placed on the document support table and no document is set in the ADF, no copying cycle is commenced.
