Abstract
A copying machine having an original feeding unit for feeding originals onto a platen glass which is operable in a two-original feeding mode where two originals are placed side by side in a particular position on the platen glass, and a sheet handling unit which is operable in a binding mode where copy sheets which copied images are bound. When the two-original feeding mode is selected, a selection of the binding mode is inhibited. When the two-original feeding mode is selected after the binding mode was selected, a warning is generated to inform that the sheet handling unit becomes impossible to be operated in the binding mode. When a copying operation is started without in spite of the generation of the warning, the binding mode is canceled.
