Abstract
A facsimile apparatus receives image information and recording the image information by use of a laser-beam printer. In a case where the document size of the received image information is larger than the size of the recording paper, the recording resolution of the laser-beam printer in each of main-scanning and sub-canning directions is changed and set, and recording of the received image information is performed at the set resolution.
Claims7
A device which controls a recording means for recording an image in any of a plurality of recordable resolutions on a recording paper having a size, comprising:
- specifying means for specifying a size and resolution of an image to be transmitted from an image information transmitting apparatus based on data from the image information transmitting apparatus;
- first judging means for judging whether or not the specified size of the image specified by said specifying means corresponds to the size of said recording paper;
- second judging means for judging whether or not, in a case where said first judging means judges that the specified size does not correspond to the size of said recording paper, the image of the specified size can be reduced to be within the size of said recording paper by setting a resolution at the recording means, the set resolution being one of the recordable resolutions and being different from the resolution specified by said specifying means;
- and
- requesting means for requesting an image of reduced size from the image information transmitting apparatus, in a case where said second judging means judges that the image of the specified size cannot be reduced to be within the size of said recording paper.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- recording means for recording an image in any of a plurality of recordable resolutions on a recording paper having a size;
- specifying means for specifying a size and resolution of an image to be transmitted from an image information transmitting apparatus based on data from the image information transmitting apparatus;
- first judging means for judging whether or not the specified size of the image specified by said specifying means corresponds to the size of said recording paper;
- second judging means for judging whether or not, in a case wherein said first judging means judges that the specified size does not correspond to the size of said recording paper, the image of the specified size can be reduced to be within the size of said recording paper by setting a resolution at said recording means, the set resolution being one of the recordable resolutions and being different from the resolution specified by said specifying means;
- and
- requesting means for requesting an image of reduced size from said image information transmitting apparatus, in a case where said second judging means judges that the image of the specified size cannot be reduced to be within the size of the recording paper.
