Abstract
An image forming apparatus having an image editing function and a plurality of developing devices capable of developing different colors respectively, wherein, for example, where images are copied from two sheets of document or a double-side document on the both sides of a copying paper, or where the both pages of an opened book are copied in a split manner, the position on a copying paper of change-over of the developing device is set only for one sheet of document in double-size copy from the respective two sheets of document, only for one page of the opened book, and only for one side of the double-side document, and thereby the position of change-over is determined automatically for the other sheet of document, the other page or the rear side, and therefore the devices for setting the position of change-over of the developing device are reduced in number, and the operation is simplified.
