Next, characters for sentences are input successively from keyboard 2 and are stored in memory unit 4 also. When senstences are generated, character data and data of patterns and so on are read out from memory unit 4. Data of patterns and so on is expanded by control unit 6 to reproduce original data, and character data is input to character pattern generating unit 7 to obtain a character pattern. Next, these original data and character pattern are sent to facsimile output device 5 and are output and printed. |
