Abstract
The disclosure relates to a copy machine having a document feeding apparatus. The document feeding apparatus comprises a transport belt which includes a first belt transport portion and a second belt transport portion, both of which can be operable integrally or independently. When a plurality of copies are required to be formed from two kinds of different documents, i.e., a first document F and a plurality of second documents S, the second belt transport portion for transporting the second documents is operated independently of the first belt transport portion for transporting the first document. When a plurality of copies are required to be formed from one kind of documents, the first and second belt transport portions are integrally operated.
