PURPOSE:To eliminate accumulation of returning errors of an image rotating means produced at every copying time so as to prevent the inclination of a copied picture from being increased, by providing a picture rotation inhibiting means which inhibits the actuation of a picture direction control means. CONSTITUTION:At the time of multi-print, retrieving operations are carried out at every page and multi-print mode instructing signals and print signals are transmitted from the control system of a microfiche moving mechanism to the control system of a reader/printer main body. In addition, print busy signals are transmitted from the control system of the reader/printer main body to the control system of the mechanism. However, an image rotating motor is driven only in the normal direction at the moment when the retrieval of a first page is completed and the driving of the motor is inhibited during the period of multi-print mode thereafter. The motor is driven in the opposite direction after printing of the last page is completed. Therefore, returning errors are not accumulated and copied pictures never incline, but can be copied in normal attitudes even when numerous pages are printed.
