Abstract

A facsimile reception apparatus of a facsimile transceiver processes video data using a microcomputer. When one line of decoded video data are stored in a random access memory of the microcomputer, the video data are transferred to a printing section through a microprocessor a plurality of bits at a time. The printing section reproduces a plurality of bits of input video data and then delivers an interruption signal to the microprocessor to request transfer of another plurality of bits of video data thereto. One line of video data are divided into N segments each consisting of the predetermined number of bits. After transfer of the Nth video data segment, an interruption by the printing section which will result from full printing of said video data is inhibited.
