Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively combine a double faced recording function with an Nin1 (N sheets in one sheet) recording function by selecting whether original information is to be Nin1 recorded on a surface in the order of received page information at first and then Nin1 recorded on a rear face or the original information of the surface is to be Nin1 recorded on the surface and the original information of the rear face is to be Nin1 recorded on the rear face at the time of Nin1 recording. SOLUTION: When three sheets of double faced information are transmitted as a transmitting original and Nin1 (3 in 1) is selected by a recording method for recording control A, 'ABC, DEF, GHI' is recorded on the surface of a 1st page and 'JKL, MNO, PQR' is recorded on the rear face. When Nin1 (3 in 1) is selected by a recording method for recording control B, 'ABC, GHI, MNO' is recorded on the surface of the 1st page and 'DEF, JKL, PQR' is recorded on the rear face. Consequently a convenient device capable of switching the recording control A and the recording control B can be obtained.
