Abstract
A copying apparatus is provided with an image reading device for reading image information on an original as electrical image signals, a manually operable device for designating an arbitrary area of the original and apparatus for outputting a gate signal in accordance with the area designated by the manually operable device. In response to the gate signal thus formed, a gate device extracts from the electrical signals generated by the reading device image signals corresponding to the designated area which signals are stored in a memory device. A recording device can then record an image in the designated area on plural sheets of recording medium in response to repeated readout of the image signals from the memory device.
