Abstract
An image communicating apparatus having a key or other device to stop an operation in progress. The apparatus is preferably capable of performing several operations at the same time, and has a stop control which permits an operator to stop only a selected operation from among several which may be going on when the stop device is actuated. The selection is performed, e.g., on the basis of a predetermined stop priority, which may be settable by the operator. The identity of (and if desired other information regarding) the operation to be stopped may be communicated to the operator, e.g., via a display, and the operator may be given an opportunity to confirm that the correct operation is stopped. Also, according to another version of the invention, actuation of the key or other device may stop all on-going operations except for any which have been selected to be exempt from stoppage.
