Abstract
In this facsimile machine, it is determined whether data to be stored in a RAM is image data, and, if the data is image data, a normal cluster for writing the image data into is ensured. If the data is not image data, a defective cluster is selected, and the data is written into the defective cluster. In this case, if no defective cluster is selected, a normal cluster is selected, and the data is written into the normal cluster. Upon termination of the data writing operation, the data is managed on a classification (kind) basis. Accordingly, a facsimile machine is provided that is low in price and can easily carry out individual management for preservation of data while maintaining preservation (storage) quality of data even when a semiconductor memory that is not guaranteed in quality is used as the storage medium for the data.
