Abstract
In a composite digital copying machine of a plain paper copying machine, a printer, and a facsimile apparatus, when the machine is operated as a printer for printing out document data of codes created by a wordprocessor, an internally obtained data image is compressed and stored, as image data, in a hard disk simultaneously with print processing of the data. When this printout is to be copied later, the original image data is searched or retrieved to be printed without scanning the printout.
