A facsimile apparatus includes a recording-paper feeding mechanism for feeding a recording paper. A setting device serves to set whether or not saving the recording paper is required. A receiving device serves to receive image information. A printing head serves to sequentially print line parts of an image, which is represented by the received image information, on the recording paper. In cases where the setting device sets a requirement of saving the recording paper, the recording-paper feeding mechanism is controlled so as to reduce a distance by which the recording paper is fed with respect to one line part of the image.
