Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a sender side to confirm when a sent text is extracted by a receiver side by returning a message representing the manual transfer mode and returning it when a reserved text is extracted. CONSTITUTION:When a text transferred from a sender side is received by the manual transfer mode at the receiver side, a telephone number of the sender side is stored in a telephone number storage section 10 and the text is stored in a picture memory 9 and a message representing the manual transfer mode is extracted from a routine message storage section 8 and transferred to the sender side. Moreover, when the text reserved in the receiver side is extracted from the picture memory 9 and transferred to other facsimile equipment or printed out on paper, a telephone number of the sender obtained from a telephone number storage section 10 is dialed and a message representing the extraction of the text is extracted from the routine message storage section 8 and returned to the sender side. Thus when the text sent from the sender side is extracted by the receiver side is easily confirmed by the sender side.
