## Abstract

A facsimile apparatus which is improved in user friendliness for a user to print a document received by facsimile communication and is capable of performing division printing of the document. A sheet size of sheets on which the received document is to be printed is determined. In a preview process, when a document to be printed according to a determined sheet size is to be divided so as to be printed on a plurality of sheets, a preview image of the document in which a position where the document is to be divided is indicated is displayed on a display section. Further, in the preview process, the preview image is displayed on the display section by changing the position where the document is to be divided according to designation of the sheet size by a user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A facsimile apparatus comprising:
a determination unit configured to determine a sheet size of sheets on which a document received by facsimile communication is to be printed; and
a display control unit configured, in a case where a document to be printed according to the sheet size determined by said determination unit is to be divided so as to be printed on a plurality of sheets, to cause a preview image of the document in which a position where the document is to be divided is indicated to be displayed on a display section,
wherein said display control unit causes the preview image to be displayed on the display section by changing the position where the document is to be divided according to designation of the sheet size by a user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The facsimile apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said determination unit determines the sheet size according to a line count indicative of the number of lines to be printed based on the document.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The facsimile apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said display control unit causes sheet sizes which can be designated to be displayed on the display section.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The facsimile apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a storage unit configured to store a line count serving as a reference for division, for each of the plurality of sheets.

### Claim 5

A method of controlling a facsimile apparatus, comprising:
determining a sheet size of sheets on which a document received by facsimile communication is to be printed; and
displaying, in a case where a document to be printed according to the sheet size determined by said determining is to be divided so as to be printed on a plurality of sheets, a preview image of the document in which a position where the document is to be divided is indicated, on a display section,
wherein said displaying includes displaying the preview image on the display section by changing the position where the document is to be divided according to designation of the sheet size by a user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, wherein said determining includes determining the sheet size according to a line count indicative of the number of lines to be printed based on the document.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, wherein said displaying includes displaying sheet sizes which can be designated on the display section.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, further comprising storing a line count serving as a reference for division, for each of the plurality of sheets.

### Claim 9

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling a facsimile apparatus,
wherein the method comprises:
determining a sheet size of sheets on which a document received by facsimile communication is to be printed; and
displaying, in a case where a document to be printed according to the sheet size determined by said determining is to be divided so as to be printed on a plurality of sheets, a preview image of the document in which a position where the document is to be divided is indicated, on a display section,
wherein said displaying includes displaying the preview image on the display section by changing the position where the document is to be divided according to designation of the sheet size by a user.
