Abstract
An original is moved by a feed motor so as to read the original by the combination of a light source and a CCD. The image information thus read is stored into the memory. The image information stored in the memory is sent out via a modem to the phone line. The amount of data stored in the memory is detected: if the amount of data exceeds the first predetermined amount, the speed of movement of the original is gradually reduced while if the amount of data becomes equal to or smaller than a second predetermined amount which is smaller than the first predetermined amount, the speed of movement of the original is gradually raised.
