ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus is provided which is capable of storing image data regardless of remaining free area of a memory associated with a specified function. The digital image forming apparatus comprises a facsimile memory for storing transmission/reception data by a memory transmission/reception function of a facsimile, a copying memory for storing copying data by a copying/printing function or externally inputted data, and a compression/expansion converting section which converts transmission/reception data stored in the facsimile memory by the memory transmission/reception function into data suitable for communication via a communication line, wherein a CPU working as storage control means is disposed which, when storing data by one function of a plurality of functions into a memory associated with the function, stores the data into a memory associated with another function in the case where all the data cannot be stored into the associated memory.
