FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration diagram of a facsimile apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a reading unit such as a scanner for reading an original, and 2 denotes a facsimile apparatus that controls each unit of the facsimile apparatus according to a program stored in a memory storage unit 3 storing a basic program and a processing program specific to the present invention. A main control unit for executing the processing according to the present invention, an operation unit for inputting an operation from a user and transmitting information to the user, a network control unit for controlling a communication line, and a copy and reception unit for controlling a communication line. A page memory for temporarily expanding image information to be output to a recording unit 7 such as a plotter for printing a document is shown. The image information to be recorded is temporarily expanded in the page memory 6 from the reading unit 1 (in the case of copying) or the network control unit 5 (in the case of reception) under the control of the main control unit 2 as described above. Is done.
At this time, the number of input lines of the recording information is counted.
In the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment, the following processing is performed based on the count value of the number of input lines.

FIG. 3 shows a specific example of the aforementioned center mark according to the present invention. FIG. 3A shows a center mark printed on a recording sheet to be filed in a vertical position and left binding, as in the case of recording sheets of B5, A5, and A4 sizes.
FIG. 3B shows a center mark printed on a recording sheet that is filed with a horizontal position and left binding (folded in two) as in the case of a B4 size recording sheet. By the way, in general, when recording on a cut sheet, if there is an input line longer than the recording sheet, the receiving record is reduced,
Reduction recording is performed in which recording is performed by storing the recording data on recording paper. Therefore, for the image information developed in the page memory 6 described above,
In order to print a center mark for vertical position / left binding as shown in FIG. 3A, the center position must be calculated in the following three cases. (1) Input line <1/2 recording paper length (see FIG. 4 (a)) (2) 1/2 recording paper length ≦ input line ≦ recording paper length (see FIG. 4 (b)) (3) Recording paper length <Input line ≦ (reduced line length) (FIG. 4C)
Here, in the case of the above (2), there is no particular problem, and a mark may be printed at a に 対 し line position in the recording information input to the page memory 6.

[0008] The operation of the facsimile apparatus of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the operation flow chart shown in FIG. First, in the case of the above (1), that is, when the recording information is less than の of the recording paper length (step 11),
The number of lines of (1/2 recording paper length-input line) is calculated (step 12), all white information is recorded (step 13), and then the above-mentioned mark (center mark) indicating the center of the recording paper. Is recorded (step 14). In the case of the above (2), that is, when 1/2 recording paper length ≦ input line ≦ recording paper length (step 15), the position of the 1/2 line in the recording information input to the page memory 6 is determined. Fill in the mark (Step 1
6), print (step 17). In cases other than the above, that is, when the recording paper length <input line ≦ (reduced line length), the center position in the recording information input to the page memory 6
(Z) is calculated (step 18), a mark is written at this Z position (step 19), and printing is performed while reducing the entire recording information (step 20). According to the above embodiment, it is possible to print a center mark on the center of a recording sheet that is filed in the vertical position and left binding, regardless of the magnitude relation between the input image information and the recording sheet length. Becomes

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation in the case of printing a center mark for horizontal position / left binding (by folding in two) as shown in FIG. 3 (b). In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, a margin of a few lines is provided at the top of the page, and a center mark is put here (mark in the figure). As a result, the number of inputtable lines of this page is “the maximum number of memory lines−the number of lines for the margin”. According to the present embodiment, the horizontal position / left binding
A center mark can be printed at the center of the recording paper to be filed (by folding). Next, in addition to the recording output of the center mark described above, when the recording image information is small compared to the recording paper size, the center of the center mark and the center of the recording image information are matched. An example of recording and outputting is shown. In FIG. 6A,
A specific example will be described. Here, in the cases (1) and (2), all white information corresponding to the difference between 1/2 of the image information and 1/2 of the recording paper is recorded from the position of the mark in FIG. That is,
After recording all white information of 1/2 (recording paper length-image information amount)
Record image information. Note that the center mark is
It shall be filled in beforehand at a half position.
