Abstract
Abstract An image processing apparatus, capable of storing and outputting image data, comprises a printer to print the read image; an image memory to store the received image data during the operation of the printer; and a checking device for decoding the received image data on the basis of a predetermined conversion processing system and detecting the presence or absence of an error of the image data, wherein after completion of the operation of the printer, the image data stored in the memory is read out and the checking device is made operative. With this apparatus, the copying and communicating operations can be simultaneously performed even if no recording paper is set. Even when a paper jam occurs, the reception of the image data is continued and after the recovery of the jam, the number of residual pages which are not recorded among the received image data may be displayed.
