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.

There is a limit to Further, it is necessary to prepare a high power supply capacity for driving the recording unit, which is not suitable for downsizing the power supply, and it is very inconvenient because the battery drive cannot be adopted.

Furthermore, since it is not possible to select the received image information, the received image information is merely recorded, and unnecessary image information is also recorded, which is very inconvenient.

Further, since the image information reading unit is fixed to the main body of the facsimile apparatus, it is not suitable for reading atypical documents such as newspapers and books, and is constant (A4, B4 and B5).
Etc.) was only for reading the information of a single-page original within the size of (). Therefore, the image information of the original to be transmitted cannot be edited, for example, the necessary portion cannot be selected and designated, and all the image information of the original inserted through the original insertion port for inserting the original is transmitted.

Since the received image information cannot be selected, the received image information is merely recorded, and therefore unnecessary image information is also recorded. Further, the image information reading unit is a facsimile device. Since it is fixed to the main body, it is not possible to read atypical documents such as newspapers and books, so it is not possible to edit the image information of the document to be transmitted, for example, to select and specify the necessary parts. Of the information When sending the necessary image information, it is necessary to first copy the original, cut off only the necessary parts with scissors, and attach the cut out necessary parts to a paper of a predetermined size to create the original for transmission or cut it as it is.
