Abstract
A communication apparatus has a recording device operable in a first recording mode for effecting a multi- or full-color recording in response to image signals received and a second recording mode for effecting monochromatic recording in accordance with image signals received. A discriminator is used for discriminating that the operation in one of the first and second recording modes becomes incapable, and a device notifies a result of discrimination by the discriminator to the image signal sending station which sends the image signals to be recorded.
