In a color image formation apparatus which comprises a photosensitive medium, optical image exposure device for exposing the photosensitive medium to an optical image having light components of an image original, and electrostatic latent image formation device for forming electrostatic latent images on the photosensitive medium in accordance with the exposure to the optical image. The image formation apparatus includes a color separating device having a plurality of color separating filters disposed along the optical path of the optical image exposure device, a developing device having a plurality of developing units for supplying different color developers to develop the electrostatic latent images formed on the photosensitive medium by the electrostatic latent image formation device, a mode setting element for designating the combination of one of the color separating filters and one of the developing units, and a control device for reading the combination of a predetermined color separating filter and a predetermined color developing unit designated by the mode setting device and for causing the designated color separating filter and the designated color developing unit to cooperate with each other.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
A color image forming apparatus which projects an optical image, having light components of an image original, upon a photosensitive medium for forming electrostatic latent images thereon, and which color-develops the latent images to form a color image, said apparatus comprising a photosensitive medium, optical image projecting means for exposing said photosensitive medium to the optical image, electrostatic latent image formation means for forming electrostatic latent images on said photosensitive medium in accordance with the exposure to the optical image effected by said optical image projecting means, color separating means having a plurality of color separating filters for selective disposition in the optical path of said optical image projecting means, developing means having a plurality of developing units for supplying different color developers to develop the electrostatic latent images formed on said photosensitive medium by said electrostatic latent image formation means, a plurality of process mode setting means each having a first element for setting a selected one of said color separating filters across the optical path, and a second element for setting a corresponding selected one of said developing units to be operated, wherein two of said process mode setting means may be identically set and control means coupled with each of said process mode setting means, for actuating said separating filters and said developing means in a predetermined order and in accordance with the settings of said first and second elements.
2.
A color image forming apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plurality of process mode setting means comprises three pairs of said first and second elements, and wherein each of said elements comprises a multi-position switch means for selecting, respectively, any one of said color separating filters, and any one of said color developing units.
3.
A color image forming apparatus as set forth in claim 2 wherein said control means senses the set ones of said multi-position switch means in a predetermined sequence
