Abstract
After a telephone captures a line, a facsimile apparatus detects a tone signal on the captured line. The facsimile apparatus counts a number of the detected tone signals. When the counted number reaches a predetermined number, the facsimile apparatus controls to start a facsimile reception. The facsimile apparatus detects a change of a hook state of the telephone. When the change of the hook state of the telephone is detected, the facsimile apparatus resets the counted number.
