Facsimile apparatus with improved transmission function of duplex original

A facsimile apparatus comprising:

• placing portion on which an original to be transmitted is placed;
• detecting means for detecting that the original is placed on said placing portion;
• transmission destination setting means for setting a transmission destination to which an image of the original placed on said placing portion is transmitted;
• storing means for storing the transmission destination set by said setting means;
• reading means for reading the image of the original placed on said placing portion to output an image signal;
• transmitting means having a line connection portion to switch the connection condition of line to the transmission destination stored in said storing means, for connecting the line with said transmission destination to transmit the image signal outputted from said reading means;
• mode specifying means for specifying a mode in which a plural groups of originals sequentially placed on said placing portion are transmitted to the transmission destination set by said setting means;
• first controlling means for making control so that, when the original in a first group in said plural groups is detected by said detecting means and a transmission destination is set by said setting means, the set transmission destination is stored by said storing means, the line is connected to said stored transmission destination by said line connecting means, the image signal of the original of said first group outputted from said reading means is transmitted by said transmitting means, and the line is disconnected from said transmission destination by said line connecting portion when the transmission of the image signal of said first group of original is finished;
• and
• second controlling means for making a control so that, if said mode is specified by said mode specifying means, said line connecting portion connects the line to the transmission destination stored in said storing means, said transmitting means transmits an image signal of an original of a second group of said plural groups outputted from said reading when said detecting means detects the original of said second group different from said first group in said plural groups after transmission by said first control means, and said line connecting portion disconnects the line to said transmission destination when the transmission of the image signal of said second group of original is finished.

A facsimile apparatus, comprising:

• placing portion on which an original to be transmitted is placed;
• detecting means for detecting that the original is placed on said placing portion;
• transmission destination setting means for setting a transmission destination to which an image of the original placed on said placing portion is transmitted;
• reading means for reading the image of the original placed on said placing portion to output image data corresponding to the read image;
• storing means for storing the image data outputted from said reading means;
• transmitting means for converting the image data stored in said storing means into an image signal and transmitting the image signal to the transmission destination set by said setting means;
• mode specifying means for specifying a mode in which image signals of a first group of original and second group of original placed on said placing portion are alternately transmitted;
• and
• controlling means for controlling said storing means so that, if said mode is specified by said mode specifying means, in response to setting of the transmission destination by said setting means and detection by said detecting means, the image data of said first group of original placed on said placing portion is stored into said storing means, and subsequently, in response to detection by said detecting means, the image data of said second group of original placed on said placing portion is stored in said storing means, and for controlling said transmitting means so that the image data of the original of said first group and said second group stored in said storing means are alternately read out, converted into image signals and transmitted to the transmission destination set by said setting means.
