To provide a facsimile terminal that can record image information of a size B4 with unmagnification without reduction as much as possible even when the facsimile terminal can record image information only to size A4.

Whether or not recording paper sheets of sizes A4, B5 are available is discriminated (step 85), and when the recording paper sheets of the size A4 only are available, the A4 width is declared (step 86), and the recording paper of the size A4 is selected and recorded (steps 87, S8). On the other hand, when both the recording paper sheets of the sizes A4, B5 are available, the B4 width is declared and the reception is started (step 89). A page memory 17 receives received image information, number of lines is calculated, and whether the size of the transmitted image information is the size A4 or B4 is discriminated (step S10). In the case of the size B4, the recording paper of the size B5 is selected, rotation processing by replacing the main scanning direction and the sub scanning direction with each other is applied to the recorded image information and the resulting information is recorded on the recording paper of the size B5 (steps S11, S12).
