Abstract

An image reading is executed to only specific originals among plural originals. An original information detecting part detects original information on each original based on the result of prescanning. A judging part, based on copying conditions set by a user, judges whether the original information meets the copying conditions or not and determines the necessity of copying accordingly. An operation control part controls respective constitutions based on the result of judging of necessity. According to this device, for example, only color originals can be copied or only originals having a specific size can be copied. Furthermore, only originals present between colored partition papers can be copied.
