Next, on the back of the main body case 1, a power supply unit 1-
69 is connected, and from this power supply unit 69, a power supply connector 7o and a telephone line connector 71 are pulled out.

Next, the telecommunication control means 72 will be explained based on FIG. First, the power supply unit 69 generates +12V drive power for the motor 32 and solenoid 40.63, and +7V power for the print head 38 and lighting. In addition, the converter 73 generates a voltage of +5■, and the other converter 74 generates a stable voltage of +1.
It generates voltages of 2V and -12V.

A CML relay 75 is connected from the power supply unit 69 to the telephone line circuit through lines Ll and L2, and a perringer 76 and a pulse dialer 7 are connected to this CML relay 75. Pulse dial rough 7
is connected to the master CPU 78 and, via a changeover switch 79, to a speech IC 80 for operating the handset 2.

That is, the image of the original illuminated by the lamp 92 is received by the image sensor 34 through the lens 33, and the signal binarized by the image sensor 34 enters the slave CPU 90. Along with this operation, the document is fed one line at a time by the drive mechanism 48 during the return operation of the carrier 31 as described above. Further, when a certain amount of document reading data is input, the master CPU 78 converts the data by a known means such as a one-dimensional encoding method. The data-converted signal is input to the modem 86, and the input digital data is frequency-converted or phase-converted and input to the telephone line. Then, the original is ejected from the original ejection port 25 located at the center of the main body case, and since this ejection position is at the center, the original can be easily handled. Moreover, since the document is ejected toward the user, it is easier to handle.

In addition, when the reception key 18b is pressed, the solenoid 40 is activated when the other party sends a document and receives the signal.
．． 63 are energized at the same time. First, by energizing the solenoids 1 to 40, the platen 39 moves to the printing spatula 1 to 38.
The recording paper 46 is advanced to the side and joined to the print head 38. Further, by energizing the solenoid 1<63, the gear 62 of the drive mechanism 48 is engaged with the gear L65, and the motor 32 is connected to the recording paper feed roller 42. As a result, when the carrier 31 returns, the recording paper 46 is sent out line by line, and at the same time the print head 38 performs recording. Then, the recorded paper 46 is sent out from the paper delivery port 45 toward the user. Therefore, the call operation panel 4 has a relatively large area.
acts in the same way as i-ray on the received paper, making it easy to process the received paper.

In this way, the recording paper 46 is gradually consumed, but the recording paper 46 can be easily replenished by opening the call operation panel 4. That is, when the call operation panel board 4 is opened, the recording paper storage section 47 is completely opened, making it easy to set the rolled recording paper 46. In particular, since the upper part is open, the recording paper 46 is transferred to the reception recording paper path 44.
Easy to pass through.

In addition, the transmission original feed path 21 is completely opened when the transmission/reception setting operation panel 6 is opened, and problems such as jamming of the transmission original do not occur at all.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a call operation panel for selecting and calling a destination telephone number through a telephone line network and a transmission/reception setting for setting a reception mode for receiving transmissions from the destination. An operation panel is disposed on the top surface, and furthermore, a telecommunication control means, a document reading mechanism, and a receiving and recording mechanism are built in to provide telephone functions and facsimile functions. A drive unit for driving the print head is provided, and a drive mechanism is provided in which this drive unit is connected to the document feed roller and the recording paper feed roller, so that the document feed and the record paper feed can be performed with one drive unit. Moreover, since the driving force to the recording paper feed roller is cut off during transmission, there is no unnecessary consumption of recording paper.
