Abstract
A copy apparatus has two exposure modes. In the first mode, the original is fixed and reading is done by a scanning exposure device and in the second mode the exposure device is fixed and the original is moved for reading. The second mode fixed position for the exposure device is the start position for the exposure device in the first mode. In the first mode when reading the originals is performed only once, the exposure device returns immediately to the start position. Alternatively, when reading is plural and continuous, successive scanning is started from the scanning end position which is regarded as the turning position for continuous copying.
