<p>A color facsimile comprises a multilevel JPEG coding/decoding means (106) for coding color data, and a binary JBIG coding/decoding means (108). When the receiving side facsimile employs the same recording system as that of the transmitting side facsimile, color data read out by a color correcting section (119) are corrected with a correction value corresponding to the characteristics of a recording means of the transmitter, binarized and coded by the JBIG coding/decoding means (108) and transmitted. When the receiving side facsimile does not employ the same recording system as that of the transmitting side facsimile, the read out color data are coded by the JPEG coding/decoding means (106) and transmitted. Since the amount of data transmitted can be reduced without causing degradation of the image quality, the communication time can be shortened and low memory capacity can be avoided.</p> |
