Abstract
A copy machine can store image data corresponding to a plurality of original groups. The user can carry out an editing process such as confirmation, erasure, and modification, and the like on the stored image data. A control unit of the copy machine provides control so that, when printing of a previous job has ended, and the mode to confirm, erase or modify the image data of a registered original group is not selected, printing of a next job is initiated if there is a job to be printed out. When the edit mode is selected, the control returns to the main routine. Therefore, printing of a job subsequent to the job that has been ended will not be initiated. Thus, a copy machine can be provided that can appropriately process image data of a registered original group.
