An appearance change of an information processing device, which has a plurality of operation modes and whose appearance is changed in accordance with change of operation mode, is displayed on a display screen as graphic data representing the appearance. When a memory card is extracted from the information processing device, an operation of the information processing device is reset to avoid a run away phenomenon. Furthermore, in an inquiry and communication operation, only necessary pages of resultant inquiry information are printed out at a time after the communication line is disconnected.

Information communication system

Information processing system

The present invention provides a facsimile machine having a larger cover plate capable of serving as a manuscript holder as well as a recording paper tray. A facsimile machine comprises a main body including an operation panel provided at its front end, a manuscript inlet opening provided at its substantially the center, and a recording paper outlet opening provided behind the manuscript inlet opening. A tray serving as a manuscript holder as well as a recording paper tray is hingedly supported at a rear end of the main body so as to be opened or closed between an opened position where the tray extends rearward and obliquely upward and a closed position where the tray covers the upper surface of the main body. And, the tray has a longer length enough to reach the front edge of the main body when it is closed, and is formed with a cutout at its front end so as to expose the operation panel even when the tray is closed. Furthermore, the operation panel includes a plurality of buttons obliquely arrayed with respect to the front edge of the main body.
