Abstract
A communication system is constructed by interconnecting a data terminal and a communication terminal via an interface. The communication terminal receives text data created by the data terminal, develops these data into image data and then transmits the image data. In response to a command from the data terminal, the communication terminal uses a reader to read the image of an original, thereby acquiring image data, and transmits these image data to a line. On the other hand, the order of transmission of the image data based upon the text data and the image data based upon the reading of the image of the original is set at the data terminal. On the basis of the order of transmission set, the data terminal controls the execution of transmission of the two types of data in the communication terminal.
