Abstract
An image reader/recorder assembly unit for use in a facsimile system is provided with an image reader containing a number of sensor elements aligned in an image scanning direction and an image recorder containing a number of recording elements. The image reader and the image recorder are of a specific length shorter than the full scanning width. Image data is read and recorded as the image reader and the image recorder move in the image scanning direction, both of these units being mounted on independent carriages. In addition, the edges of adjacent image data are recorded twice at a lower density to achieve a predetermined density through two recording operations despite superimposition. This prevents degradation of the recorded image data quality.
