<p>A facsimile apparatus using a continuous length of recording paper with its first surface for recording and its second surface for transmitting scripts. Received fax signals are recorded on the first surface through a recording section, and scripts which are to be transmitted are written on the second surface and read through a reading section. This arrangement needs only one paper feeding passage and enables the paper to be efficiently used, since non-recording surface of the paper can be used as a surface on which scripts are written.</p>
