Abstract
A control system for a copier having a monocolor or multicolor printing function, a combining function, a shifting function, a masking function, a continuous printing function, a magnification changing function and others. The control system allows a trimmed image to be automatically laid in a masked area. Further, the control system selectively controls the copier such that the center of a magnification-changed image is brought into register with that of a document image, such that the amount of shift of a magnification-changed image becomes equal to a specified one (absolute value), and such that when a document and a paper are different in size from each other, an image is shifted by a specified distance even if the magnification is 1.
