Abstract
An integral document processing apparatus comprising an electrophotographic copying system and a facsimile transmission system. A document fed from a common document storing unit is guided selectively to a first document read unit included in the electrophotographic copying system or to a second document read unit included in the facsimile transmission system by a document feed passage changeover mechanism which is operated selectively by an operator. A document delivered to the first document read unit is copied by the electrophotographic copying system. A document delivered to the second document read unit is converted into a corresponding electric image signal, and then the electric image signal is applied to a communications line.
