Then, the reflected light on the back surface of the document illuminated by the LED array 11 shown in FIG. 2 is read by the CCD line sensor 12 (S102). The reflected light amount distribution for one line read is binarized for each pixel (S10
3) The number of low reflectance pixels is counted (S10).
4). This reading operation is repeated until the end of the document is detected. When the original passes the double-sided original detector 4,
The optical switch 14 becomes conductive. When the end of the document is detected in this way (S105), the reading operation which has been repeated up to this point is stopped and the total sum of the low reflectance pixels is calculated. Then, when this total exceeds a predetermined value, it is determined that the original is a double-sided original (S106).

In order to prevent erroneous determination, the CCD line sensor 12 is arranged to be slightly shorter than the width of the original and scan slightly inside the left and right ends of the original. Similarly,
The optical switch 13 is installed slightly closer to the reading table than the CCD line sensor 12, and the optical switch 14 is installed closer to the document table. The scanning of reflected light reading on the back surface is started from slightly inside the leading edge of the document, and the end of the document is started. The scanning is finished just before this.

The present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the LED array may be replaced with a fluorescent lamp or a halogen lamp, the length of the CCD line sensor may be made longer than the width of the document, and the position and width of the document may be CC.
The inside of the original may be scanned by obtaining it from the distribution of the amount of reflected light detected by the D line sensor. Also, considering the case of reusing the back side of the paper that was mis-copied,
The single-sided copy may be set to the standard mode, and the automatic double-sided copy function of the present invention may be selected as an option. If it is detected that the original is a double-sided original, the user is notified that the original is a double-sided original, and the duplex The user may decide whether or not to make a copy.
