Then, the control unit 13 reads the hold melody data stored in the memory 20 in advance, and transmits it to the call that established the hold melody received via the data processing unit 18. (Step Scl4).
- step Scl5 when the incoming call rejection during printing is set in the setting information (step Scl5), the control unit 13 causes the data processing unit 18 to establish an incoming call. Then, a response message such as “currently unreceivable” corresponding to the above-mentioned predetermined message stored in the memory 20 is read out and transmitted to the call for which the hold melody is established via the data processing unit 18. (Step Sc 16).
- the control unit 13 records it as a non-response telephone call in the memory 20 (step Sc 17).
- the control unit 13 waits for the end of the printing process and displays the event result on the display unit 11 (step Scl8).
- the result of response to events such as an incoming call that has been transferred to the answering center for priority on printing, recorded in the terminal, placed on hold, rejected, or unresponsive, is displayed or sounded.
- the hold tone itself is output from the speaker 19a from the point when hold is selected, and the hold tone is set so that the user can hear the hold tone even during the printing process. Can be easily noticed by the user.
