Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress frequency to divide a reception image by selecting recording paper based on the length of the main and sub scanning directions of the reception image. CONSTITUTION:A main control part 1 compares the number (L1) of lines in accordance with the length of the recording paper of size A4 housed in a paper supply cassette A with the number (M) of lines stored in memory when the lateral length of the reception image is less than the short side of the recording paper of size A4. When it is L1>M, the reception image developed on page memory 6 is printed out on the recording paper of size A4 housed in the paper supply cassette A by a printer 7. When it is L1<M, the number (L2) of lines in accordance with the length of the recording paper of size B4 housed in a paper supply cassette B is compared with the number of lines stored in the memory, and when it is L2>M, the reception image developed on the page memory 6 is printed out on the recording paper of size B4 housed in the paper supply cassette B by the printer 7.

For example, if you use a facsimile machine with A4 size recording paper and B-
If one size of recording paper is provided to be transported in the direction of its long side, if the horizontal length of the received image is equal to or less than the horizontal length of A4 size paper (hereinafter referred to as the short side), A4
If the horizontal length of the received image is equal to or less than the short side of 84-size recording paper, B4-size recording paper is selected for recording.

However, in the above-mentioned facsimile machine, the recording paper is not selected in consideration of the vertical length (length in the sub-scanning direction) of the received image, so the vertical length of the received image is longer than that of the recording paper. If it is large (for example, the horizontal length of the received image is A4)
If the size is less than the short side of the recording paper and the vertical length is larger than the A4 size recording paper), some measure must be taken.
