PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide image communications equipment where the user can easily comprehend a state of color and monochromatic images received in a memory and to provide its control method. SOLUTION: This image communications equipment has a communication means, that makes communication with an opposite terminal via a line, a DRAM 118 that stores image information received by the communication means, a management means that manages image information stored in the DRAM 118, a decoding means that decodes the image information stored in the DRAM 118 into image data to be printed on recording paper, and a recording section 120 that records a visual image on recording paper, based on the decoded image data by using an ink cartridge selectively mounted. A CPU 11 counts a C1 denoting number of items of unrecorded color images stored in the DRAM 118, an M1 denoting the number of items of unrecorded monochromatic images, a C2 denoting the number of items of recorded color images an M2 denoting number of items of recorded monochromatic images and controls the recording by the recording section 120 for the image information stored in the DRAM 118 based on the counts. |
