1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- document feeding means for feeding a document;
input means for inputting an image signal representing an original image of the document;
first determining means for determining a first relationship between a length and a breadth of the original image by feeding the document by said document feeding means, the first relationship being dependent upon whether the length of the original image is longer than the breadth of the original image;
processing means for performing image processing of the image signal input from said input means;
recording means for recording an image on a recording medium on the basis of the image signal subjected to the image processing by said processing means; and
second determining means for determining a second relationship between a length and a breadth of the recording medium, the second relationship being dependent upon whether the length of the recording medium is longer than the breadth of the recording medium,wherein said processing means performs rotation processing of the image signal in accordance with determinations made by said first determining means and said second determining means, such that said processing means performs rotation processing of the image signal in a case where the first relationship is different from the second relationship and does not perform rotation processing of the image signal in a case where the first relationship is the same as the second relationship.
