Facsimile apparatus which corrects read image data based on a difference between a predetermined storage time and a recording time of the read image data

Abstract

A facsimile apparatus comprises read unit for reading a document sheet image, a memory for storing the image data read by the read unit, a recorder for recording the image data on a record sheet, a selection unit for selecting a first copy mode in which the image data read by the read means is stored in the memory, and after the completion of the storing of at least one page of image data, the image data read from the memory starts to be recorded by the recorder, and a second copy mode in which the image data read by the read unit starts to be recorded by the recorder before the completion of the reading of one page of document sheet a unit for asynchronously conducting the reading of the image data by the read unit and the recording of the image data by the recorder when the select unit selects the first copy mode, and synchronously conducting the reading of the image data by the read unit and the recording by the recorder when the select unit selects the second copy mode.
