Abstract
A color facsimile apparatus includes a plurality of color ink jet heads for different colors. The apparatus comprises instructing circuitry for instructing monochromatic printing of data received in a color receiving mode, and a controller for controlling image data received in a color receiving mode according to a signal from the instructing circuitry for recording of data by a monochromatic ink jet head.
Claims26
A color facsimile apparatus comprising:
- receiving means for receiving color data through a line;
- means for forming an image corresponding to the color data received by said receiving means by depositing plural kinds of colorants, wherein said forming means is operable in two printing modes, a color printing mode and a monochromatic printing mode;
- means for checking for non-depositing by said forming means;
- and
- control means for controlling the printing mode of said forming means in accordance with said checking means.
A color facsimile apparatus comprising:
- reproducing means for reproducing an image corresponding to a received color image signal for each color used;
- determining means for determining a reproducing capacity of said reproducing means;
- and
- storage means for holding said received color image signal according to a determination of said determining means that said reproducing means is not capable of reproduction for each color.
A color facsimile apparatus for performing recording with relative movement of a plurality of ink heads for respective colors and a recording material in a direction of a row of said ink heads, said apparatus comprising:
- determining means for determining a monochromatic receiving mode and a color receiving mode;
- and
- control means for controlling a magnitude of the relative movement according to the receiving mode determined by said determining means.
A color facsimile apparatus having an ink jet recording apparatus for forming an image with relative movement between juxtaposed black and color ink heads and recording paper in a direction of a row of said heads, said facsimile apparatus comprising:
- receiving mode determining means for determining a monochromatic receiving mode and a color receiving mode;
- control means for selecting a first recording mode, in which said black ink head is relatively moved to a predetermined position, and a second recording mode, in which said color ink heads are relatively moved to the predetermined position.
