Claims
- 1. An image forming apparatus capable of indicating document orientation for a reference to set an original document on a document platen, comprising:
- a document orientation display means for displaying document orientation, said document orientation display means displaying, in a normal copy mode of the apparatus, document orientation in a normal display form in which the displayed document orientation coincides with an orientation of a copy sheet to be fed;
- a mode setting means for setting a specific copy mode of the apparatus that differs from the normal copy mode of the apparatus; and
- a control means for controlling the document orientation display means when the specific copy mode is set by the mode setting means to display document orientation in a specific display form in which the displayed document orientation does not coincide with an orientation of a copy sheet to be fed.
- 2. An image forming apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a reproducing means for reproducing images of documents set on a document platen onto a copy sheet, said reproducing means when at said specific copy mode reproducing from two original documents simultaneously set on a document platen to a single copy sheet.
- 3. An image forming apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a reproducing means for reproducing images of documents set on a document platen onto a copy sheet, said reproducing means when at said specific copy mode reproducing copies from one original document having two image regions such that image of one region is reproduced on one copy sheet and image of the other region is reproduced on another copy sheet.
- 4. An image forming apparatus of claim 2, wherein said document orientation display means is adjacently provided to the document platen.
- 5. An image forming apparatus capable of indicating document orientation for a reference to set an original document on a document platen, comprising:
- a document orientation display means for displaying document orientation, said document orientation display means displaying the document orientation at a normal copy mode in a normal display form in which the document orientation coincides with an orientation of a copy sheet to be fed;
- a mode setting means for setting a specific copy mode in which the document orientation is different from an orientation of a fed copy sheet; and
- a control means for deactivating the document orientation display means when the specific copy mode is set by the mode setting means.
- 6. An image forming apparatus of claim 5 further comprising a reproducing means for reproducing images of documents set on a document platen onto a copy sheet, said reproducing means when at said specific copy mode reproducing from two original documents simultaneously set on a document platen to a single copy sheet.
- 7. An image forming apparatus of claim 5 further comprising a reproducing means for reproducing images of documents set on a document platen onto a copy sheet, said reproducing means hen at said specific copy mode reproducing copies from one original document having two image regions such that image of one region is reproduced on one copy sheet and image of the other region is reproduced on another copy sheet.
- 8. An image forming apparatus capable of indicating document orientation for a reference to set an original document on a document platen, comprising:
- a document orientation display means for displaying document orientation, said document orientation display means displaying the document orientation at a normal copy mode in a normal display form in which the document orientation coincides with an orientation of a copy sheet to be fed;
- an automatic document feeding means for feeding original documents set in a document tray to the document platen;
- a specific copy mode setting means for setting a specific copy mode wherein two original documents are simultaneously set on the document platen by the automatic document feeding means and images of two original documents are reproduced on a single copy sheet; and
- a display control means, when the specific copy mode is set by the specific copy mode setting means, for controlling the document orientation display means so as to display an orientation different from that of the fed copy sheet as the document orientation.
- 9. An image forming apparatus of claim 8, wherein said document orientation display means is adjacently provided to the document platen.
- 10. An image forming apparatus capable of indicating document orientation for a reference to set an original document, comprising:
- a reproducing means for reproducing images of documents set on a document platen onto a copy sheet;
- a document orientation display means for indicating an orientation in which an original document is set in accordance with an orientation of a copy sheet to be fed;
- an automatic document feeding means for feeding an original document set in a document tray to the document platen;
- a specific copy mode setting means for setting a specific copy mode wherein two original documents are simultaneously set on the document platen by the automatic document feeding means and reproduced on a single copy sheet by said reproducing means; and
- a display control means which displays on a document orientation different from the orientation in which the copy sheet is fed when a specific copy mode is set by the specific copy mode setting means.
- 11. An image forming apparatus of claim 10, wherein said document orientation display means is adjacently provided to the document platen.
