Claim 4
Dependent Claim 107 words
A facsimile apparatus for recording an image on a recording medium by transferring an ink possessed by an ink sheet to said recording medium, said apparatus comprising: reading means for reading an original image; transmit-receive means for transmitting and receiving an image signal; conveying means for conveying said ink sheet and said recording medium; recording means for recording an image on said recording medium; and control means for controlling said recording means after an image has been recorded by said recording means so as to record said image over again using the same data after said ink sheet has been conveyed while said recording medium is stopped.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 71 words
A heat-transfer recording method for recording an image on a recording medium by transferring an ink possessed by an ink sheet to said recording medium comprising steps of recording an image on said recording medium by said recording means acting on said ink sheet and recording said image over again by said recording means using the same data after said ink sheet has been conveyed while said recording medium being stopped.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 71 words
A heat-transfer recording method for recording an image on a recording medium by transferring an ink possessed by an ink sheet to said recording medium comprising steps of recording an image on said recording medium by said recording means acting on said ink sheet and recording said image over again by said recording means using the same data after said ink sheet has been conveyed while said recording medium being stopped.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 28 words
