間の数倍にもなる場合もある。Conventional technology In particular, in copying machines for copying original drawings, etc., AO, A
Copies are often made on first-class large-sized copy sheets, and if these large-sized copy papers were stored as they were or handled as they were, the storage space would increase or the handling would be difficult. Because it is inconvenient, it is usually folded and stored. However, when paper is folded manually, it generally takes a considerable amount of time. For example, when copying on large copy paper, the time required to fold the paper is the same as that required for copying. In some cases, it can take several times as long as the actual time.

無駄が多くなる。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in a recording device such as a copying machine connected to a folding device as disclosed in JP-A-54-1035, it is difficult to form a recorded image due to the configuration of the paper folding mechanism of the folding device. The paper to be folded must be conveyed vertically, with the short side as the leading edge. However, when recording paper is fed vertically, the document must also be scanned in the longitudinal direction, which takes time due to the long scanning distance. There will be a lot of wasted time.
そこで最近の高速複写橢等においては、ロスタイムも少

があった。Therefore, in recent high-speed copying machines and the like, models that scan the original along the short side of the original have been proposed because this reduces loss time and increases speed. However, in the case of such a copying machine, the copy paper is fed so-called horizontally with the long side as the leading edge, so there is a problem in that it cannot be folded as it is through existing paper folding devices.
