Abstract

A communication apparatus capable of transmitting image data in a form capable of reducing a running cost is provided. When a plurality of pages of image data to be transmitted can be recorded on one record sheet at a receiving station, a plurality of pages of image data are combined into one page of image data for transmission within a range in which the image data are recorded on one sheet at the receiving station and in such a manner that the plurality of pages of image data are recorded on the record sheet in vertically evenly divided areas. When a plurality of pages of image data to be transmitted can be recorded on one record sheet at the receiving station, main scan lengths of the plurality of pages of image data are made equal and the plurality of pages of image data are combined into one page of image data for transmission within a range in which the image data are recorded on one record sheet at the receiving station and in such a manner that the image data are recorded on the record sheet in evenly divided areas.
