Facsimile apparatus

Facsimile apparatus comprising:

• original size detection means for detecting whether the size of an original document is a first size or a second size;
• reading means for reading picture information on said original document and for transmitting electrical picture signals representative of the size of said original document corresponding to either said first size or said second size;
• receiving means for receiving information indicating whether a second party apparatus interconnected thereto is in a first reception mode or in a second reception mode;
• and
• control means for causing said reading means to transmit electrical picture signals corresponding to said first size irrespective of the information detected by said original size detection means in the event that said receiving means receives information indicative of said first reception mode, and for causing said reading means to transmit electrical picture signals corresponding to said first or second size in response to information detected by said original size detection means in the event that said receiving means receives information indicative of said second reception mode.

Facsimile apparatus comprising:

• receiving means for receiving electrical picture signals or prescribed information;
• recording means for recording said picture signals received by said receiving means on a recording sheet;
• recording sheet size detection means for detecting whether said recording sheet is a first size or second size;
• and
• information generating means for generating information indicative of a first reception mode responsive to the prescribed information received by said receiving means and for generating information indicative of a second reception mode and information indicative of the size of said recording sheet detected by said recording sheet size detection means.

Facsimile apparatus comprising:

• calling means for establishing a telephone connection to a second party apparatus;
• reading means for converting picture information of an original document into electrical picture signals and for generating picture signals therefrom;
• preparatory telephone command means for generating a command requesting the establishment of the telephone call to said second party apparatus;
• and
• calling signal output means for generating a prescribed calling signal prior to sending said picture signals in response to said command from said preparatory telephone command means during a time when the telephone connection has been established to said second party apparatus.

Facsimile apparatus comprising:

• recording means for recording received picture signals on a recording sheet;
• preparatory telephone command means for generating a request for establishment of a telephone call to a second party apparatus;
• and
• calling signal output means for generating a prescribed calling signal prior to recording said picture signals on said recording sheet in response to said command from said preparatory telephone command means during a time when a telephone connection has been established to said second party apparatus.

Facsimile apparatus comprising:

• calling means for establishing a telephone connection to a second party apparatus;
• reading means for converting electrical picture information on an original document into electrical picture signals and for transmitting said picture signals;
• telephone reservation command means for generating a request for establishment of a telephone call to said second party apparatus;
• and
• signal output means for generating a prescribed calling signal after transmission of said picture signals in response to the presence of said request from said telephone reservation command means and for generating another signal in response to the absence of said request from said telephone reservation command means during a time when said telephone connection has been established to said second party apparatus by said calling means and when said picture signals have been transmitted by said reading means.

Facsimile apparatus comprising:

• recording means for recording received picture signals on a recording sheet;
• telephone reservation command means for generating a request for establishment of a telephone call to a second party apparatus;
• and
• signal output means for transmitting a prescribed calling signal after recording the picture signals in response to the presence of said request from said telephone reservation command means and for generating another signal in response to the absence of said request from said telephone reservation command means during a time when a telephone connection has been established to said second party apparatus and when the picture signals have been recording by said recording means.
