Abstract
In a facsimile apparatus with an external telephone unit connected thereto or in a telephone terminal apparatus having telephone and facsimile communication functions, when a particular code signal is sent through a telephone line during a telephone communication being effected, a facsimile communication is held ineffective. Accordingly, even when a particular situation occurs, which otherwise causes switching from the telephone communication to the facsimile communication, the telephone communication is held effective once the particular code signal is detected.
