<Description of processing when receiving data>
Next, when the device is set as described above, the processing operation of the device when data such as an image is received will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When data such as an image is received by the communication unit 10 or the FAX modem 9 (step S1), the device control unit 8 sends the received data for one page to the memory unit 6b and develops it as output data. At this time, it is confirmed whether or not the data is normally acquired in units of pages (step S2). If the data is normally acquired (when determined Yes in step S2), the data is temporarily stored in the hard disk 13. Next, it is sent again from the hard disk 13 to the memory unit 6b, transferred to the printing unit 6d, and first printed out for one page (step S3), it is confirmed whether there is a next page (step S3). Step S4). If there is a next page (when determined Yes in step S4), the process returns to step S1 and the process is repeated. Thus, the received data of all pages is temporarily stored in the hard disk 13 and printed out by the printing unit 6d.

  Thereafter, when the printout of all the pages of the received data is completed, the operation proceeds from step S4 to step S5 to check whether all the received pages are acquired normally. If it is determined as Yes in step S5, the filing conditions set in the procedure of FIGS. 8 to 13 are confirmed (steps S6 and S7).

  As a result, if the received data matches the set filing conditions (if determined Yes in step S7), a filing process is performed to save the received data of all pages in a predetermined area of the hard disk 13. (Step S8). On the other hand, if the received data does not match the set filing conditions (if determined No in step S7), the received data once stored in the hard disk 13 is erased (step S9).

  On the other hand, if the data is not normally acquired in Step S2 (when it is determined No), it is confirmed whether it is a reception error (Step S10), and if it is a reception error, error processing is performed. Implement (step S11). The error processing is, for example, prohibiting storage (accumulation) of data in the hard disk 13 and executing processing for erasing data already stored. In order to notify the user that a reception error has occurred, an error message may be displayed on the display unit 4b, or an alarm (not shown) may be sounded.

  It should be noted that the data filed in this way can be executed in accordance with a user instruction input from the operation unit 4. For example, when a print instruction, an Internet FAX transmission instruction, an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) transmission instruction, or the like is input, the device control unit 8 processes filing data according to the instruction.
