Abstract
An image copying apparatus includes a control panel to a user interface; a scanner; a memory that stores an image; an image rotation processing unit that rotates the image depending on the direction in which the image is to be printed; a printer; a printer controller; and a system controller. The printer includes a light-emitting element, an image printing start position adjusting element that adjusts a start position of a printing position of the image to be printed, an image printing area adjusting element that sets a printing area of the image to be printed, a polygon mirror, and a polygon motor. According to the image copying apparatus, even when the size of a read image has been adjusted at the time of printing, the printing results of the same manuscript can be made the same regardless of differences in the printing direction.
