Facsimile device enabling efficient output to record sheet

A facsimile device for receiving picture data of an original document, which is constituted by a plurality of data lines, through a telephone line and recording the received picture data onto a record sheet, comprising:

• counting means for counting a number of the received data lines;
• operation means for comparing the number of received data lines with a predetermined value and evaluating a number of received data lines exceeding said predetermined value as an excess number;
• determining means for determining whether each of the received data lines is predetermined picture data which comprises totally white lines;
• data processing means for removing data lines that are said predetermined picture data, a number of which correspond to said excess number, out of the received data lines in accordance with a result of the determination by said determining means;
• and
• recording means for recording remaining received data lines from said data processing means onto said record sheet.

A facsimile device for receiving picture data of an original document through a telephone line and recording the received picture data onto a record sheet, comprising:

• counting means for counting an amount of the received picture data;
• operation means for comparing the amount of the received picture data with a predetermined amount and evaluating an amount of the received picture data exceeding said predetermined amount as an excess amount;
• determining means for determining whether the received picture data is predetermined data which comprises totally whites lines;
• data processing means for removing the predetermined data, an amount of which corresponds to said excess amount, out of the received picture data in accordance with a result of the determination by said determining means;
• and
• recording means for recording remaining received data from said data processing means onto the record sheet.

A processing method for a facsimile device for receiving picture data of an original document, which is constituted by a plurality of data lines, through a telephone line and recording the received picture data onto a record sheet, comprising the steps of:

• counting a number of the received data lines;
• evaluating a number of received data lines exceeding a predetermined value as an excess number by comparing the number of received data lines with said predetermined value;
