FACSIMILE RECORDER

PURPOSE:To make the interval of recording position between main scanning lines constant, by transmitting a recording signal and driving a recording head at each transmission of a recording sheet for a prescribed amount, in a facsimile device of the redundancy suppressing coding system. CONSTITUTION:A driving control pulse MS of a step motor 3 is outputted from a recording control section 1 every time picture information for one line's share is received at a receiving section, and the step motor 3 is driven and a recording chart 5 is fed. Then, the amount of movement is detected at a rotary encoder 10 as a pulse EP, and as a result, a recording control section 1 transmits recording position designating signals R1-Rn and a recording signal P in synchronizing with the pulse EP to drive a recording head 7 at each block. Thus, the recording at each block is performed when the recording paper is moved to a prescribed position with the driving of the recording head 7, resulting that the amount of shift of the recording position between lines is made constant independently of the position of block.
