Abstract
An automatic document feeder and copying apparatus is capable of copying the images of two successive documents on one surface of a copying sheet. When the automatic document feeder detects that an odd number of documents have been supplied to the document feeder, the image forming apparatus is controlled so as to form only an image of the first document on a single surface of the first copy paper and then to copy the remaining originals by forming images of two originals on each surface of a copy sheet.
