A data transmission/reception system provides the recipient of image data with flexible options for handling the image data. The system transmits notification mail to a cellular phone owned by the recipient when transmitting facsimile data from a transmitting facsimile machine to a receiving facsimile machine. The recipient transmits a command from the cellular phone indicating how the facsimile data received by the receiving facsimile machine should be handled. In response to the command received from the cellular phone, the receiving facsimile machine either forms an image based on the facsimile data on paper or forwards the facsimile data to another facsimile machine near the recipient. Accordingly, the recipient can transmit a forwarding command instructing the receiving facsimile machine to transmit the facsimile data to a facsimile machine nearby when the recipient is in a remote location, thereby enabling the recipient to view an image based on the facsimile data at any time.

A laminating apparatus includes a detector disposed between introduction-side transport rollers and a web supply unit. When the detector detects a front edge of a prior object transported by the introduction-side transport rollers, then the introduction-side transport rollers and a laminate processing unit transport and laminate the prior object until a rear edge of the prior object is positioned in the vicinity of the web supply unit, whereupon transport and lamination of the prior object are stopped for a predetermined duration of time. Then once the detector detects a front edge of the subsequent object after the predetermined duration of time elapses from stopping transport of the prior object, the introduction-side transport rollers transport a subsequent object to the laminate processing unit.

In a facsimile data processing apparatus, printer code, including a line pitch amount control command and character codes are received from a host computer. The character codes are converted into image data and the image data is converted into transmission code, such as modified Huffman code. The space following the last character line on one page is neither converted into image data nor converted into transmission code, rather a control return code is added following the transmission code of the last character line on the page.

Facsimile data processing apparatus

In a facsimile data processing apparatus, printer code, including a line pitch amount control command and character codes are received from a host computer. The character codes are converted into image data and the image data is converted into transmission code such as modified Huffman code. The line space is directly converted into the transmission code, in the form of white code, without the conversion into image data. The line space varies according to the line pitch amount control command by changing the amount of the white code to be added.
