Abstract

A facsimile machine provided with a page printer for printing image data on one or more cut sheets of recording medium. In the case where at least two differently sized cut sheets of recording medium are selectively used for recording of received image data, the facsimile machine includes a control system to keep the first selected size until recording of all of the image data of the same original document has been completed. In another embodiment, the amount of a single page of data and the size of cut sheet of recording medium in use are constantly monitored, and if the amount of a single page of data is equal to or less than half of the size of cut sheet of recording medium in use, then two pages of data are recorded on a single cut sheet of recording medium.
