Image data received from an original-document reading portion is stored in an image memory, and then transmitted to another facsimile apparatus. At this time, whenever image data for one communication is transmitted, information indicating a result of the transmission is stored. Also, image data received from a personal computer is stored in an image memory, and is then transmitted to the other facsimile apparatus. At this time, whenever image data for one communication is transmitted, information indicating a result of the transmission is stored. A communication management report is then output which enables identification to easily be performed with respect to whether image data supplied from the original-document reading portion has been transmitted or image data supplied from the personal computer has been transmitted.

Facsimile apparatus

A printing apparatus and a paper controlling method for a printer in which, upon activating a power source or upon changing over to the on-line mode or upon switching to a high paper feed speed, a paper feed motor is rotated first reversely to draw back paper by an amount a little greater than an amount of a possible slack and then forwardly to advance the paper. Accordingly, paper slack can be cancelled adjacent a print head in preparation for subsequent printing. Accordingly, high quality printing can be attained.

A dot printing device includes a head having a plurality of head pins, a dot driver for selectively energizing the head pins according to dot data, a character generator, and a data processing unit for causing N-bit dot data constituting designated character data to be generated sequentially by the character generator according to input character designation data, and supplied to the head driver. The data processing unit causes a plurality of N-bit dot data corresponding to the input character designation data to be generated from the character generator according to input character designation data and italic printing data, and supplies the lower bit of the N-bit dot data and (N-1) bits with predetermined delay times with respect to the lowest bit to the head driver.
