Facsimile machine which prevents the loss of recorded data in multiple cut sheet reports

摘要

The present device is a report outputting system of a facsimile machine provided with a laser beam printer using cut sheets of recording paper. The size of cut sheets of recording paper set in position in the laser beam printer is detected and the maximum number of character lines which may be recorded on each of the cut sheets of recording paper with predetermined top and bottom margins is determined. A report of predetermined information, such as history of transmission and reception operations of the facsimile machine, is recorded on one or more of the cut sheets of recording paper. On each sheet is up to the thus determined maximum number of character lines. A system controller monitors the number of character lines recorded on each cut sheet and controls the system to insure no information is lost when recording multiple page reports.
