It is determined whether it is larger than the scanning width (S5). Then, when the sub-scanning length of the received image data is equal to or smaller than the main scanning width of the cut sheet 56, the normal rotation print processing is executed (S6). That is, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, in a state in which the cut sheet 56 to be recorded is designated as the A4 size, the A4R (horizontal) size image data D
2 is received. In this case, the received image data D2 is rotated 90 degrees and recorded on the specified cut sheet 56 at the same magnification. Then, the process ends.

Further, if it is determined in step S5 that the sub-scanning length of the received image data is larger than the main scanning width of the cut sheet 56, the division rotary printing process is executed (S5).
7). That is, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, a case is considered where A3 size image data D3a and D3b are received in a state where the cut sheet 56 to be used for recording is designated as A4 size. In this case, the received image data D3a,
D3b is divided into a plurality (two in this embodiment), and each is rotated by 90 degrees, so that the designated cut sheet 56
Recorded at the same magnification on the top. Then, the process ends.

For example, in the case shown in FIG. 5, if the page unification is specified by the paper size specification key 87c, all received image data will be transferred based on the A4 size cut sheet 56 recorded first. It is recorded on an A4 size cut sheet 56. That is, the received image data D1 of the A4 size of the first and second pages is directly recorded on the cut sheet 56 of the A4 size at the same magnification by the normal print processing. Further, the received image data D2 of the A4R size of the third page is converted to 90
The paper is rotated at an angle and recorded on an A4 size cut sheet 56 at the same magnification. Then, the received image data D3a and D3b of the A3 size of the n-th page are divided and printed by the division rotation print processing.
After being divided into two, each is rotated 90 degrees, A
It is recorded on a four-size cut sheet 56 at the same magnification.

It is supposed to be.

Therefore, all the received image data is recorded on the designated cut sheet 56, so that the image data reproduced on the cut sheet 56 can be easily filed and arranged. Further, since the image data on the cut sheet 56 is recorded at the same magnification without being reduced, the image data is small and difficult to see, or the data size changes when the image data is a drawing or the like. Can also be suppressed.

In the communication terminal device of this embodiment, when a unified cut sheet size is designated in one communication, all received image data is reduced to the same size by using the cut sheet 56 of the size recorded first. It is recorded in. For this reason, the size of the cut sheet 56 automatically provided for recording is unified based on the first cut sheet size without selecting and setting the cut sheet size for each communication.
