Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve convenience by arranging papers to be arrayed in the same direction and outputting information in a case that destinations from the side of an opposite transmitter equipment are the same with each other, so as to facilitate processing of a received original. SOLUTION: A use in the case of outputting received information by changing the direction of output of received information by 90 deg. for every communication or every line is registered in a use circuit 24, and the information received in the preceding reception and whether to rotate by 90 deg. or not are registered to a registering circuit 26. At the time of reception, a control circuit 20 stores destination information of the side of the opposed transmitter and a receiving terminal to designate, compares destination information of the side of the opposed transmitter and designated receiving terminal information in once communication of last time and this time with each other and in the case of coincidence, equalizes the direction of the output of received information of this time with that of last time. In the case of noncoincidence, the circuit 20 changes the direction of output from that of last time by 90 deg. to output. In a case when destinations to deliver are the same like this, papers to output are outputted by arranging in the same time direction to process as one delivering destination to reduce time for delivery.
