Abstract:
A cut-paper printing type facsimile apparatus using cut-paper for printing thereon a received image reproduced from a received facsimile signal, comprising:a printing means for printing a line image formed from a received facsimile signal on a cut-paper sheet; a counting means for counting the number of lines of a line image printed or to be printed by the printing means on a cut-paper sheet; and a comparison means for comparing the number of printed lines counted by the counting means with the preset specified number of lines per sheet, wherein the printing means replaces a current cut-paper sheet with a new cut-paper sheet by a signal outputted from the comparison means when the number of printed lines is equal to or more than the preset specified number of lines, and wherein, if a page-end signal and/or communication-end signal is received and the number of printed lines is less than the preset specified number of lines per sheet, the printing means continues printing on the current cut-paper sheet.
