Abstract
The facsimile apparatus according to the present invention comprises a decision section for checking whether or not the document edit flag is ON when the document sensor detects a document. When the document edit flag is ON, this decision section decides that edited image data are stored in edited document storage area A. Then, this decision section checks whether or not to send both the edited image data and paper document. When it decides that both should be sent, this decision section checks whether or not the paper document should be sent first. If the paper document is sent first, this decision section checks whether or not the edited image data should be inserted into the paper document. If the operator selects “Yes”, this decision section decides that the paper document should be scanned by the scanner, sent one page at a time, and when the specified page appears the scanned image data should be sent followed by the rest of the paper document.
