Abstract
A continuous plural page copying method for a copier determines the size and lengthwise direction of a document which is laid on a glass platen, and produces magnifications on the basis of a relationship between one half of the size of the document in the lengthwise direction and the size of the papers selected. Consecutive pages of the document are reproduced continuously with no regard to the orientation of the document on the glass platen relative to the scanning direction of a scanner. The method reproduces an image on a paper while desirably matching it to the size of the paper.
