Finally, an ejection system is included for ejecting the original transported by the third transporting unit from the exposure unit in the second direction on to the loading tray, where the transporting speed of the second transporting unit is higher than the transporting speed of the third transporting unit in the second direction, where the original interval between the previous original and the current original can be rendered closer to accord the maximum ability of the copying machine so that the maximum productivity can be attained.
