Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the quantity of generating a blank and wasting a recording paper and to reduce consumption quantity by comparing the size of the recording paper with the size of receiving data, turning the receiving data suitably at 90 deg. and recording them. CONSTITUTION:A recording part 4 is provided with a detector to detect the size of the set recording paper and outputs it to a control circuit 1. A control circuit 1 to detect an incoming decides the size of the paper set in the recording part 4 and decides what size the receiving data are by the decision of the number of bits for one line of the data being received. When data stored in receiving memories 6 and 7 are below a prescribed value, a converting circuit 11 reads out successively the data stored in the memories 6 and 7, converts them into a state of being turned at 90 deg. and supplies them to the recording part. Thus, a receiving recording is executed without generating the blank in the recording paper.
