Abstract
An analog copying apparatus for optically exposing an original and copying it onto an arbitrary copy area on a copy paper has an area designating function and comprises: an image area designating apparatus to designate an arbitrary area on the original; a copy area designating apparatus to designate an arbitrary area on the copy paper; and copying means for copying the image in the image area into the copy area. This copying apparatus further has: an original moving apparatus to move the original on an original plate; a lens moving apparatus to move a lens provided in the optical path in an arbitrary direction; a cassette moving apparatus to move a cassette in which the copy papers are enclosed; and a resist control apparatus to control the resist timing, wherein the image in the image area is copied onto the copy area by means of at least one of or a combination of a plurality of these apparatuses. A copy magnification may be calculated and set from the image area and copy area, and the image in the image area is copied onto the copy area on the basis of this magnification.
