(Message end signal) and EOP (procedure end signal) are detected. If none of the MPS signal, EOM signal, and EOP signal is detected, step S109
At the same time, an error sound is emitted, the error lamp is turned on, and the device returns to the standby state.

In steps S101 and S102, the MPS
If a signal or EOM signal is detected, step S105
At, it is determined whether T1 time has elapsed. Where T1
The time is the time for setting the recording paper in preparation for receiving the next facsimile message when the recording paper is a cut paper and is received manually, and is about 9 in consideration of the MCF (message confirmation) reception time range on the transmission side. Seconds.

As a result of the determination in step S105, T1
If the time has not elapsed, it is determined in step S106 whether or not the recording paper is set. As a result of the determination, if the recording paper is set, the MCF signal is transmitted, and the process returns to step S100. .. On the other hand, if the recording paper is not set, the recording paper insertion sound for prompting the setting of the recording paper is emitted in step S107, and the step S105 is performed.
Return to.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S105, when T1 time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S108, DCN (disconnect command) is transmitted in step S108, and an error sound is emitted in step S109. Turns on the error lamp and returns to the standby state.
