Further, it is stored in the memory unit 8 as needed.
The image data stored in the memory unit 8 is modulated by the modem 10 via the communication control unit 9 and sent to the communication line 11. Further, the image data received from the communication line 11 is demodulated by the modem 10 and stored in the image buffer 7 via the communication control unit 9 and stored in the memory unit 8 or output from the printer unit 6. The control of the entire device is performed by the control unit 5.

The operation of the facsimile apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the facsimile apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

First, the transfer setting is set from the key input unit 2 in step s1. When the transfer setting is set, the telephone number of the transfer destination is input in step s2 (the transfer process is a series of receiving and transmitting operations). The input telephone number is stored in the memory unit 8. After the transfer setting is completed, if there is a reception request from the other party in s3, the control unit 5 in s4.
Is the modem 1 for the image data sent from the communication line 11.
0 demodulates, and the image buffer 7 is passed through the communication control unit 9.
And is stored in the memory unit 8. In step s5, it is determined whether the reception is completed, and in step s6, communication history information (reception partner, transfer partner, communication time, communication result, number of communication pages, etc.) related to the communication is managed for each communication. It is managed as information and stored in the memory unit 8. When transfer is set, it is stored in the memory unit 8 as transfer-only communication history information in addition to normal communication history information.
After the reception is completed, the transfer destination telephone number preset by the key input unit 2 is retrieved from the memory unit 8 in step s7, the automatic call is made, and the image data stored in the memory unit 8 in step s8 is communicated. The data is modulated by the modem 10 via the control unit 9 and transmitted to the communication line 11. In step s9, it is determined whether the transmission is completed, and step s10
Then, the communication history information is stored in the memory unit 8 as management information. The communication history information at the time of reception and the communication history information at the time of transmission stored in the memory unit 8 are formatted in a format that can be printed out by the printer unit 6 in step s11, and in step s12, a transfer report as shown in FIG. Is output to the printer unit 6.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the facsimile apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The structure of the facsimile is the same as that of FIG. First, in step m1, the relay broadcast report is set from the key input unit 2.

Next, in step m2, transfer settings are made. At this time, a plurality of transfer destination telephone numbers can be input.
The input telephone number is stored in the memory unit 8, and after the transfer setting is completed, the reception is performed when there is a reception request in step m3. In step m4, the telephone number sent from the other party is stored in the memory unit 8. The image data received in step m5 is stored in the memory section 8, it is judged in step m6 whether the reception is completed, and the communication history information is stored in the memory section 8 in step m7. In step m2, the preset transfer destination is automatically called and the image data stored in the memory unit in step m5 is transmitted in step m8. When the transmission is completed in step m9, the communication history information is stored in the memory unit 8 in step m10, and is output to the printer unit 6 as a broadcast transfer report in step m11. In step m4, the telephone number stored in advance is taken out from the memory unit 8 as the destination of the relay broadcast report, and after the transfer is completed, it is output to the printer unit 6 as the relay broadcast report as shown in FIG. After the relay broadcast report is output, the relay broadcast report is converted into image data in step m12, and the sender is automatically called in step m13 to transmit the relay broadcast report to notify the communication result.
