A decompression unit 3 for decompressing the image information separated from the reception information in the image information / control code separation unit 1, and received image information for storing the decompressed image information and reading out the stored image information for each line A fixed pattern image information storage unit 5, in which fixed pattern image information such as black dot image information for three lines is stored in advance and stored image information for one line is read out; One of the received image information stored in the received image information storage unit 4 and the image information stored in the fixed pattern image information storage unit 5 according to the detection output from the page end code detection unit 2 An image information output control unit 6 for selecting, reading and transmitting the image information, and a recording unit 7 for receiving the image information transmitted under the control of the image information output control unit 6 and recording an image accompanying the image information. I have.

Here, the end-of-page code detecting section 2 outputs the EO signal.
When a P code, an EOM code or an MPS code is detected, a detection output is issued. Fixed pattern image information storage unit 5
Receives a signal from the image information output controller 6 and outputs a fixed pattern.
The image information generating unit may sequentially output a predetermined number of pieces of image information, for example, black dot image information.

When the image information output control unit 6 receives the detection output from the page end code detection unit 2, it instructs the fixed pattern image information storage unit 5 to read out the image and stores the image of the stored fixed pattern. The information is read out, the read-out image information of the fixed pattern is sent to the recording unit 7, and after a period until the cut sheet of the image recording is discharged is switched to the received image information storage unit 4 side. is there.

[0016] In the facsimile apparatus of this embodiment constructed as described above, receives the transmission from the calling facsimile, demodulates the received information, demodulating the received information is image information / control co - de separation unit 1, the image information and the control code are separated. The separated image information is decompressed by the decompression unit 3 and stored and stored in the received image information storage unit 4. In this state, the page end code has not yet been detected and image information has been input, and the image information output control unit 6 has been switched to the state shown in FIG. 4 is controlled to be read out under the control of the image information output control unit 6, and the stored image information is sequentially read out one line at a time and sent to the recording unit 7. Therefore, the image b corresponding to the image information is recorded on the cut sheet a by the recording unit 7 as schematically indicated by a broken line in FIG.

Following the above state, when one page of the transmission original is completed from the transmitting facsimile apparatus, a page end code has been transmitted, and the receiving facsimile apparatus has ended the page. When a code is input,
