  • Patent number: 6198548
    Abstract: The copier-facsimile system including a recording unit for making a copy of an original or reproducing facsimile image data sent from a remote facsimile and a flap-type paper tray extending outward from a body of the communication terminal device when it is used such that a user can manually feed a recording sheet to the recording unit therefrom. The copier-facsimile system further includes an input key for inputting a first size of a recording sheet to be fed to the recording unit from the flap-type paper tray for printing facsimile image on the recording sheet and a second size of a recording sheet to be fed to the recording unit from the flap-type paper tray for making a copy. RAM stores the first size. The controller changes the recording sheet size setting of the recording unit to the first paper size from the second paper size upon completion of a copy operation if the first paper size is not equal to the second paper size and the copy operation has been carried out using the flap-type paper tray.
