2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a facsimile apparatus that bidirectionally communicates information read from an original through a line has been widely spread.

As is well known, this facsimile apparatus has a reading section for reading information on an original, a transmitting section for transmitting the information on the read original to a destination via a wired line, and a transmission from the destination via a wired line. It is composed of a receiving section for receiving the received information, a recording section (thermosensitive recording section) for printing the received information on paper or the like by thermal transfer or the like.

Generally, most of the facsimile machines are stationary ones, which are difficult to move to another place once installed.

Further, since this facsimile apparatus usually has to be connected to a wired line, the installation place is limited to the vicinity of the line output terminal.

Further, even a small-sized facsimile machine is provided with all the basic constituent elements of the facsimile machine such as a recording section and a reading section, so that it is not suitable for carrying and it is difficult to say that it is lightweight. there were.

In recent years, carrying type electronic devices, such as Japanese word processors and personal computers, have become widespread in general, and these devices have become smaller and lighter to the extent that they are called book types.
