Abstract
A facsimile apparatus for printing received image information on a sheet of print paper of a certain size determines whether each line of image information within the effective print range consists of only white pixels, and if the page length of image information is longer than the paper length and, at the same time, if lines of the excessive portion are judged to be consecutive white lines, the received image information exclusive of the excessive portion is printed in real-size on a sheet of print paper, or otherwise if the excessive lines are not only white lines, the whole received image information is printed in real-size on two sheets of print paper, thereby avoiding unnecessary down-sized printing and divisional printing.
