Abstract
A single-scan, multi-color image forming apparatus includes a document support for the support of an original document and a scanner, including a light source that is supported for movement from one end of the document support toward the opposite end for scanning successive incremental areas of the original document placed on the document support. An editing lever is supported for movement along one side of the document support in a direction conforming to the direction of movement of the scanner. An image forming device forms, on a single copying sheet, images of portions of the original document, which are positioned upstream and downstream of the editing lever with respect to the scanning direction, in first and second colors respectively. Also, a control unit controls the exposure made by the scanner.
