Abstract
A printing apparatus and a facsimile equipment incorporating the same according to the present invention are constituted as such that, when printing an original of, for example, A3 size by a printer of A4 size, the original read in the subscanning direction at reading is printed in the main scanning direction at printing, and at the same time, the image data in the main scanning direction and subscanning direction are enlarged or reduced respectively for printing so as to bring the length/widthwise ratio of a hard copy thus obtained equal to those of the original, so that when the facsimile including a A4 size printer receives the original of A3 size, the hard copy without distortion can be obtained with the smaller printer as compared with the original.
