    Abstract: An image forming apparatus which has a facsimile function by which it records image data received in facsimile communications and a printer function by which it records image data output from a host computer. The apparatus includes a printing mode setting device for setting the apparatus to one of a plurality of printing modes, a recording device for recording image data, a reception device for receiving facsimile image data, and a control device for causing the setting device to set the apparatus to a specific printing mode when facsimile image data received by the reception device is to be recorded, independent of any printing mode in which the apparatus has previously been set by the setting device. The plurality of printing modes include at least one of a draft mode in which image data is recorded in a thinned-out form and a high-quality mode in which recording is performed by one-direction printing. The specific mode is a two-direction recording mode.

    Abstract: A facsimile apparatus having a printer which can operate independently. If it is designated to use the printer as a printer, whether or not the memory of the facsimile controller has a predetermined amount or more empty area. If the memory has a sufficient amount of empty area, the memory is used as a print buffer for temporarily storing print data from a computer connected to the printer. On the other hand, if the memory does not have the predetermined amount or more empty area, the printer is directly connected to the computer, and the printer is used as a printer.

    Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a FAX unit (1) and a printer unit (2). The printer unit (2) has an ink-jet printing head (205), and records an image in accordance with image data received by the FAX unit (1). In this apparatus, when the power supply is turned on, the printer unit (2) performs a hard power-ON initialization process to initialize a watch-dog timer, registers, the work area of a RAM, and the like, and also initializes the RAM to erase data left in buffers. Thereafter, the printer unit transfers to a standby state. When a print request or a printer setting request is generated in the standby state, a soft power supply initialization process is executed to perform checking of the RAM, initialization of the work area, and initialization of carriage control and paper feed control, and the like. In the standby state, LEDs and the like of the printer unit are kept OFF. An operation error of the printer unit caused by remaining data can be prevented, and reliability of the apparatus can be improved. In addition, unnecessary power consumption can be prevented.
