A digital copier being provided with a memory function which enables the operator to set a plurality of copying conditions in a single setting operation before copying operations are initiated so that the copying operations are performed in series or in parallel based on the individual copying conditions being set. Even when the copying operations are ongoing, the digital copier also enables the operator to change the setting of the copying conditions such as the number of copies, magnification for copying, and paper size, along with the sorting mode, so that the copying operations are performed based on the changed conditions thereafter. Accordingly, the setting of the copying modes for every copying mode, which has conventionally been required, is not necessary any more. This improves copying efficiency and also realizes flexible operation even when a plurality of copying modes are set, so that the copying function of the digital copier is significantly improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention has been achieved in the light of such circumstances.
An object of the present invention is to provide a digital copier which enables an operator to easily set a plurality of copying conditions, such as a copying mode and copying magnification, by a single setting operation before copying operations are initiated and which also enables the operator to easily change the copying conditions and sorting modes even during the copying operations, so that the copying operations in a plurality of copying modes can advantageously be performed.
The above object can be attained with a digital copier being provided with a memory function, comprising: copying condition setting means for setting a plurality of copying conditions with respect to the same series of documents before copying operations are initiated; copying control means for controlling the copying operations so that the copying operations are performed in accordance with the individual copying conditions being set; and image forming means for forming images in accordance with the individual copying conditions being set.
In the digital copier as set forth, the copying control means can control the copying operations so that the copying operations in accordance with the individual copying conditions are performed in series.
In the digital copier as set forth, the copying control means can further control the copying operations so that the copying operations in accordance with the individual copying conditions are performed in parallel.
The above object can also be attained with a digital copier being provided with a memory function, comprising: copying condition setting means for setting a plurality of copying conditions with respect to the same series of documents before copying operations are initiated; copying condition changing means for changing the copying conditions being set during the copying operations; copying control means for controlling the copying operations so that the copying operations are performed in accordance with the individual copying conditions being set and that, when the copying conditions are changed during the copying operations, the copying operations are performed in accordance with the changed copying conditions; and image forming means for forming images in accordance with the individual copying conditions being set or with the changed copying conditions
