PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inform the user of necessity of replacement of a recording agent cartridge when a received image is recorded. 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 informs the user of necessity of replacing an ink cartridge mounted on the recording section 120, when the decoding means and the recording section 120 are used to continuously record a plurality of images, in which color and monochromatic images are intermingled. |
