Patent ID: 7330285

Claim:
An image processing apparatus for processing image data, comprising: a printing unit that prints processed image data on recording paper; an image data receiving unit that receives image data transmitted thereto via a telephone network and an internet network; a storage unit that stores the image data received by the image receiving unit; a print control unit that controls printing of the image data stored in the storage unit on the recording paper, wherein the print control unit performs different resizing operations based on whether the image data is non-facsimile data or facsimile data; and one or more feed trays that load recording paper therein and feed the loaded recording paper to the printing unit, wherein, if the image data is non-facsimile data and recording paper of the image data is larger in size than any recording paper loaded in the feed trays, the print control unit reduces in size image data to fit with largest-size recording paper of the recording paper loaded in the feed trays, and prints the size-reduced image data on the largest-size paper.
