Abstract
A printer which records an image on a cut paper sheet must normally assure a margin region at the trailing end side of a record paper sheet in terms of the mechanism of the printer. Conventionally, the margin has a considerably large size. However, this invention aims at reducing the margin size as much as possible and increasing the image record region as much as possible. When a printer of this invention is used in a facsimile apparatus, a problem experienced with a conventional printer, which has a narrow image record region on a record paper sheet, can be prevented. Conventionally, when an image is recorded on a record paper sheet having the same size as that of a received original, the received image is determined as an elongated original image and is divisionally recorded on two record paper sheets, or is recorded on a record paper sheet larger than the received original. This invention prevents this problem.
