Abstract

A facsimile avoids waste of record sheets due to recording of image data only at the top of a record sheet with the bottom of the sheet being left blank. This is achieved by summing the number of lines on a plurality of document sheets, with the sum being compared with the sub-scan length of the record sheet, and if the sum can be accommodated by the record sheet, the image data of the plurality of document sheets are combined as one page of image data for transmission.
