Abstract
A recording apparatus records image data without wastefully consuming record sheets. Received image data are combined in a sub-scan direction, and if a sub-scan length of the combined image data does not exceed a sub-scan length of a record sheet loaded in the apparatus, the combined data is recorded on one record sheet. When main scan lengths of image data of a plurality of pages combined are different from each other, the image data are reduced to comply to a record sheet of a minimum main scan length. When resolutions of image data of a plurality of pages combined are different from each other, the resolutions are converted to a minimum resolution and they are recorded.
