Abstract
Disclosed is an image data transmission apparatus which includes an image reading unit for reading the original image, and a transmission apparatus main body. The main body includes a memory for storing the image data read by the image reading unit and transmits the content of the memory. The image reading unit is detachably mounted on the transmission apparatus main body. The transmission apparatus main body is further provided with a conveying device for conveying the original in a state in which the image reading unit is mounted on the transmission apparatus main body to thereby read the original. The image reading unit may also scan the original to read an original image, in a state in which the image reading unit is dismounted from the transmission apparatus main body. Further, a sheet element made of a material of a low coefficient of friction, as opposed to the original, may be disposed at a position corresponding to the mounted state of the image reading unit on the transmission apparataus main body. Further, an image data transmission apparatus is disclosed which possesses the telephone function and copy function, and is also provided with, as desired, a facsimile function by mounting a detachable facsimile processing device in the transmission apparatus main body. Further, the operation panel may be, in order to use it as the original stacker, disposed angularly dislocatably around the axial line crossing with the original inserting direction.
