Claims
- 1. A color facsimile apparatus comprising:
- receiving means for receiving color data through a line;
- means for forming an image corresponding to the color data received by said receiving means by depositing plural kinds of colorants, wherein said forming means is operable in two printing modes, a color printing mode and a monochromatic printing mode;
- means for checking for non-depositing by said forming means; and
- control means for controlling the printing mode of said forming means in accordance with said checking means.
- 2. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 1, which further comprises storage means for storing the received color data.
- 3. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said control means causes monochromatic printing of color data stored in said storage means.
- 4. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said control means causes the color data to be held in said storage means when monochromatic printing is instructed by said control means.
- 5. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said control means includes a manual switch.
- 6. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said image forming means comprises ink jet printing means.
- 7. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said ink jet printing means comprises means for discharging ink by printing means comprises means for discharging ink by utilizing heat energy.
- 8. The facsimile apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said ink jet printing means discharges ink through filmy effervescence.
- 9. A color facsimile apparatus comprising:
- reproducing means for reproducing an image corresponding to a received color image signal for each color used;
- determining means for determining a reproducing capacity of said reproducing means; and
- storage means for holding said received color image signal according to a determination of said determining means that said reproducing means is not capable of reproduction for each color.
- 10. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said storage means holds the received color image signal such that the signal can be canceled when it is determined by said determining means that said reproducing means is capable of reproduction for each color.
- 11. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said reproducing means reproduces the image with a coloring material.
- 12. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 11, wherein said determining means determines the reproducing capacity by detecting a remaining amount of said coloring material.
- 13. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said reproducing means comprises ink jet recording means.
- 14. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said ink jet recording means discharges ink through filmy effervescence.
- 15. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said storage means comprises a hard disk.
- 16. A color facsimile apparatus for performing recording with relative movement of a plurality of ink heads for respective colors and a recording material in a direction of a row of said ink heads, said apparatus comprising:
- determining means for determining a monochromatic receiving mode and a color receiving mode; and
- control means for controlling a magnitude of the relative movement according to the receiving mode determined by said determining means.
- 17. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said control means controls the distance of the relative movement according to the received mode.
- 18. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 17, wherein said control means limits the distance of the relative movement to a small distance when the receiving mode is the monochromatic mode.
- 19. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 16, wherein each ink head discharges ink by utilizing heat energy.
- 20. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 19, wherein each ink head discharges ink through filmy effervescence.
- 21. A color facsimile apparatus having an ink jet recording apparatus for forming an image with relative movement between juxtaposed black and color ink heads and recording paper in a direction of a row of said heads, said facsimile apparatus comprising:
- receiving mode determining means for determining a monochromatic receiving mode and a color receiving mode;
- control means for selecting a first recording mode, in which said black ink head is relatively moved to a predetermined position, and a second recording mode, in which said color ink heads are relatively moved to the predetermined position.
- 22. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 21, wherein the distance of movement in said first recording mode is equal to the distance of movement in said second recording mode.
- 23. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 21, wherein said monochromatic ink head is provided at an end of the row of heads in the direction of the relative movement.
- 24. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 21, wherein each ink head discharges ink by utilizing heat energy.
- 25. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 24, wherein each ink head discharges ink through filmy effervescence.
- 26. The color facsimile apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said reproducing means causes monochromatic printing of color data stored in said storage means.
