When recording the original information on the front side on the back side of the recording paper, delete the information on the length (width) of the file part from the left end of the original information and shift the original information to the left by the length of the file part. When recording the back side document information on the front side of the recording paper, delete the length (width) information of the file portion from the right end of the document information and shift the document information to the right by the length of the file portion. Control to record.

In other words, with regard to the received file-capable document information, the receiver side records the file-form document information on the back side of the recording paper in the file format, Is recorded in the file format on the surface of the recording paper, the recording position of the document information is changed so as to form a file margin on the side opposite to the file margin currently formed.

More specifically, in the case where the document information on the front side of the file format in which the file margin is formed on the left side of the front side is recorded on the back side of the recording paper, the length of the file margin on the left side of the document information is , And the document information is shifted to the left by the length of the margin and recorded.

When recording the original information on the front side of the file in the file format in which the file margin is formed on the right side of the front side, the information of the length of the file margin on the right side of the original information is recorded. Then, the document information is shifted to the right by the length of the margin and recorded.

If the document information on the back side of the file format in which the file margin is formed on the right side of the front side is recorded on the front side of the recording paper, the information on the length of the file margin at the right end of the document information is written. Then, the document information is shifted to the right by the length of the margin and recorded.

Further, when the document information on the back side of the file format in which the file margin is formed on the left side of the front side is recorded on the front side of the recording paper, the information of the length of the file margin at the left end of the document information is recorded. Then, the document information is shifted to the left by the length of the margin and recorded.

The control circuit 50 removes half of the length of the file portion from the left end of the document information and removes the file information of the file portion from the left end of the document information if the file information cannot be filed (not in the file format). The document information to be shifted to the right by half the length is recorded, and the document information to be recorded on the back side is obtained by removing half of the length of the file from the right end of the document and removing the half of the length of the file. Control is performed such that information is shifted to the left and recorded.

In other words, when document information in a non-file format is recorded on the front or back surface of the recording paper, only half of the currently formed margin is set in the direction opposite to the side forming the file margin. The document information is shifted and recorded.

Here, the receiver notifies the transmitter of information on whether to file or not, the transmitter transmits information indicating the center position of the document information to the receiver, and the file information is fileable. The receiver notifies the receiver of the information and determines the recording position of the document information based on the information from the transmitter according to the above-described control.

If recording in the file format is not selected on the receiver side, the fact is notified to the transmitter, and
The transmitter sends the central information of the document information to the receiver,
And the receiver records the received information in the center without shifting.
Information on whether or not the document is a fileable document is set by an operator on the transmitter side. The control circuit 50 mainly performs the above control.
