Abstract
A facsimile apparatus has a single conveying roller in it, above which an image sensor is set and below which a printing head is set. Pressing pins are set respectively near the upper and lower ends of components supporting the conveying roller to freely rotate. In transmission, the lower pressing pins keep away the printing head from the conveying roller and the image sensor presses an original document onto the conveying roller. In reception, the upper pressing pins keep away the image sensor from the conveying roller and the printing head presses the recording paper onto the conveying roller. In this way, structure of the facsimile apparatus is simplified.
