An image communication apparatus such as a facsimile apparatus having a recording unit to print the reception image data. This apparatus has a receiving unit to receive an image signal from an original document, a recording unit to record the received images, an image memory to store the received image when the recording unit does not record the image, and a declaring unit to declare the size of recording sheet set in the recording unit upon storage in the image memory. The declaring unit has a memory to record information on the size (e.g., the width) of the recording sheet set in the recording unit. When no recording sheet is set in the recording unit, or when the recording sheet width is improper, the reception information is stored in the image memory. Alternatively, when for some reason the received image cannot be recorded, numbers representing the frequency of actual use of the various recording sheet sizes are read out from a memory where they are stored for that purpose, and the size represented by the maximum from among those numbers is declared to the transmission side. With this apparatus, the image reception near the expected image and function can be performed.
