Data communication apparatus

A data communication apparatus comprising:

• data receiving means for receiving data;
• writing means for writing data into a card having a storage medium;
• output means for outputting data received by said data receiving means;
• and
• controlling means for controlling said writing means to write data received by said data receiving means into said card;
• wherein said controlling means selects whether said received data is outputted by said output means or written into said card, and
• wherein said controlling means judges whether or not said received data can be written into said card, and wherein said controlling means writes said received data when judging that said received data can be written into said card.

A data communication apparatus comprising:

• data receiving means for receiving data;
• writing means for writing data into a card having a storage medium;
• and
• controlling means for controlling said writing means to write data received by said data receiving means into said card,
• wherein, if said received data has a specific code, said controlling means writes said received data into said card after the same code as said specific code has been set in said card.

A data communication apparatus comprising:

• receiving means for receiving data;
• a storage medium in which a specific code is set;
• and
• controlling means for storing data received by said receiving means in said storage medium when a code attached to said received data corresponds to said specific code of said storage medium.

A data communication apparatus comprising:

• transmitting means for transmitting data;
• receiving means for receiving data;
• read-write means for writing data into a card having a storage medium, and for reading out data from said card;
• outputting means for outputting data received by said data receiving means;
• and
• controlling means for controlling said read-write means to read out data stored in said card and for controlling said transmitting means to transmit data thereby read and for controlling said read-write means to write data received by said receiving means into said card,
• wherein said controlling means selects whether said received data is outputted by said output means or written into said card, and
• wherein said controlling means judges whether or not said received data can be written into said card, and wherein said controlling means writes said received data when judging that said received data can be written into said card.

A data communication apparatus comprising:

• transmitting means for transmitting data;
• receiving means for receiving data;
• read-write means for writing data into a card having a storage medium, and for reading out data from said card;
• and
• controlling means for controlling said read-write means to read out data stored in said card and for controlling said transmitting means to transmit data thereby read and for controlling said read-write means to write data received by said receiving means into said card,
• wherein, if said received data has a specific code, said controlling means writes said received data into said card after the same code as said specific code has been set in said card.

A facsimile apparatus comprising:

• reading means for reading character code data stored in a card having a storage medium;
• transmitting means for transmitting data;
• and
• control means adapted to execute a facsimile communication procedure to communicate a destination apparatus,
• wherein the character code data stored in said card is transmitted to said destination apparatus in accordance with the facsimile communication procedure, and
• wherein said control means discriminates a function of said destination apparatus and, in response to a discrimination that said destination apparatus lacks a function for receiving character code data, said control means converts said character code data into image data and transmits the converted image data.
