Abstract
A facsimile machine which allows the user to select whether all documents have their like edges aligned, or whether successive documents have alternate orientations. The machine determines the orientation of each received page. Reversing the order of the data allows a document orientation to be switched. Whether it is switched depends on the format selected by the user. The machine also includes a switch to print the received documents in one of three formats including top edges always first, bottom edges always first, or alternating documents such that a first has all of its pages aligned top edges first, the next has all of its pages aligned bottom edges first, etc.
