Abstract
An image forming apparatus for a photocopy machine. A document table holds the document to be copied. An image area designating panel on the document table designates the area of the document to be copied and generates electrical signals corresponding to the copy area when the panel is pressed. A memory stores the electrical signals generated by the panel and a plurality of light-emitting elements prevents the formation of the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive body except for the indicated copy area, according to the electrical signals which are read from the memory.
