Facsimile machine using cut sheets of paper
First Claim
1. A method for recording data in a facsimile machine using cut sheets of recording paper of a predetermined size, comprising the machine-implemented steps of:
- determining whether or not a larger cut sheet of paper is required for recording said data than said predetermined size; and
recording a predetermined number of lines recorded at the end of a cut sheet of recording paper at the beginning of a next cut sheet of recording paper if a larger cut sheet of paper is required for recording said data than said predetermined size.

Abstract
A facsimile machine uses cut sheets ofrecording paper of a predetermined size. If data to be recorded requires a cut sheet of paper of a size larger than the cut sheets of paper of the predetermined size set in the facsimile machine for use, then upon completion of recording part of the data on one of the cut sheets of recording paper of the predetermined size, a predetermined number of lines recorded at the end of the one of the cut sheets of paper are once again recorded at the beginning of the next following cut sheet of paper prior to recording of the following portion of the data to be recorded. In this manner, since that portion of data, which is divided between the two consecutive pages, is recorded twice in accordance with the present invention, no information will be lost even if the data to be recorded is significantly long.

2. A recording system of a facsimile machine using cut sheets of recording paper of a predetermined size, comprising;
-
first storing means for storing data to be recorded; second storing means for storing a predetermined amount of said data as transferred from said first storing means; recording means connected to said first and second storing means for recording said data on one or more of said cut sheets of recording paper depending on the quantity of said data; and control means for controlling the supply of said data among said first, second and recording means such that said data is supplied from said first storing means to said recording means and at the same time to said second storing means until completion of recording of one of said cut sheets of recording paper, and, then, that portion of said data not stored in said second storing means is first supplied to said recording means for recording on another of said cut sheets of recording paper prior to the supply of the following portion of said data from said first storing means to said recording means and also to said second storing means. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)

6. A facsimile machine for receiving data defining facsimile lines which collectively define a transmitted image and for recording a facsimile of the transmitted image on one or more cut sheets each of which has a selected image size, comprising:
-
means for receiving said data; means responsive to the receiving means to record a facsimile of at least an initial portion of the transmitted image on a first cut sheet; and means for (a) determining if the received data define a transmitted image whose size is greater than the image size of a first cut sheet and (b) in case the size of the transmitted image is greater, causing the recording means to record on the first cut sheet as much of the transmitted image as will fit thereon and for recording on a second cut sheet (i) a selected number of the facsimile lines already recorded at the end of the first cut sheet and (ii) at least a portion of the remainder of the transmitted image. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A method of receiving data defining facsimile lines which collectively define a transmitted image and of recording a facsimile of the transmitted image on one or more cut sheets each of which has a selected image size, comprising:
-
receiving said data and recording a facsimile of at least an initial portion of the transmitted image on a first cut sheet; and determining if the received data define a transmitted image whose size is greater than the image size of a first cut sheet and, in case the size of the transmitted image is greater, recording on the first cut sheet as much of the transmitted image as will fit thereon and recording on a second cut sheet (i) a selected number of the facsimile lines already recorded at the end of the first cut sheet and (ii) at least a portion of the remainder of the transmitted image. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
