Abstract
In a facsimile apparatus including a continuous transmission function, an image reader reads images of first and second documents to be transmitted set thereon and converts the read images into first and second image data, respectively, and a reservation controller controls a transmitter to start transmitting the second image data at a predetermined timing. Further, there is provided a judgment controller for judging whether or not the first and second receiver parties agree with each other when the first image data are transmitted by the transmitter after a communication line controller connects the transmitter through a communication line with a facsimile apparatus of the first receiver party, and a transmission controller for controlling the transmitter and the communication line controller to start transmitting the second image data without disconnecting the transmitter from the facsimile apparatus of the first receiver party after completion of transmitting the first image data, when the agreement of the receiver parties is judged by the judgment controller.
