Abstract
A facsimile machine has a paper discharge tray, and a device for shifting image-carrying recording paper as placed on the discharge tray. The recording paper further carries information relating to senders as recorded on a leading end margin thereof. The shifting device is operable for shifting the recording paper in the direction of paper discharge in timed relation to an operation for recording each series of image data. Consequently, the recording paper is sorted on the discharge tray for visual identification of the senders.
