ABSTRACT:
In a facsimile apparatus including a recording unit having a resolution higher than the resolution of an image received through facsimile communication, a facsimile control unit performs resolution conversion in the main scanning direction for the received data, adds a predetermined command to line data of the data, and transmits the resultant data to the recording unit. This command indicates the number of operations of copying the line data in order to perform resolution conversion in the sub-scanning direction. The recording unit copies the line data some number of times in accordance with the command, and develops the obtained data in a printing buffer. A recording head is driven in accordance with the data stored in the printing buffer, to record the image. It is thereby possible to shorten the time needed for data transfer from the facsimile control unit to the recording unit.
