Abstract
A communication apparatus has a calling function and is connectable to an external information-processing terminal. In response to a communication request input from the operation unit or a communication request from the external information-processing terminal, the communication apparatus performs a calling operation for facsimile communication to a receiving end. When the apparatus cannot communicate with the receiving end that was called, it carries out a recalling operation in response to a communication request from the operation unit, but does not perform the recalling operation to a communication request from the information-processing terminal.
