PURPOSE:To eliminate stress of an operator in senselessly waiting for the end of communication by calculating proclaimed total number of lines of one page predictable by using the size of communication picture and line density, and predicting the remaining time untill the end of the reception of data by using the difference between the value of said number and an accumulated line number. CONSTITUTION:Prior to the reception of facsimile data, the communication picture size and the line density are analyzed by a communication control part 2 by using procedure signals inputted from a modem part 1. Then the proclaimed total number of lines corresponding to one page is calculated by an arithmetic part 6. Meanwhile, the received facsimile data is subjected to the control part 2, inputted to a decoding part 3 where returned to its original form of image, and recorded in a recording part 4. At this time, the accumulative value of the number of lines of the image is monitored from the restored image by an accumulative line number monitoring part 5. The difference between this value and the proclaimed total number of lines is calculated by the arithmetic part 6, and the resulting value is informed to a reception remainder display part 7. Based on this value, the display part 7 displays a display telling the end of the current reception in a relative form noticeable to the operator.
