Abstract
A facsimile apparatus is disclosed that performs accurate and efficient facsimile transmission while obtaining accurate reception capacity information of each transmission destination. The reception capacity of each transmission destination is stored, together with the mail address, in a memory unit of the apparatus. When facsimile transmission accompanied by a delivery confirmation request is carried out, a main controlling unit causes the memory unit to store the transmission mode. If delivery confirmation mail from the transmission destination contains reception capacity information, the main controlling unit causes the memory unit to store it as the reception capacity information of the transmission destination. If the delivery confirmation mail does not contain reception capacity information but confirms that the communication has been properly completed, the transmission mode already stored in the memory unit is stored as a transmission enabling mode of the transmission destination in the memory unit.
