Abstract
A portable facsimile apparatus in which, each recording paper (or each document to be transmitted) may be set in place by a manual operation. In a case where the portable facsimile apparatus needs additional recording paper (or an additional document) to be set by an operator during image reception or image transmission, the portable facsimile apparatus so informs the operator, while the apparatus delays shifting following image reception or image transmission. As a result, the operator can set additional recording paper (or an additional document) into the portable facsimile apparatus, during image reception, without terminating the image reception.
Claims10
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a modem having a power save mode for saving power;
- actuation means to allow an operator to operate said communication apparatus, said actuation means including a first key and a second key, wherein said second key is not a telephone dialing key;
- determination means for determining which of said first key and said second key is actuated by the operator:
- and
- control means for setting and releasing the power save mode of said modem, wherein said control means sets the power save mode when said modem is not used for communication, releases the power save mode in accordance with the actuation of said first key, and does not release the power save mode in accordance with the actuation of said second key.
An method of operating a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus including a modem having a power save mode for saving power, comprising the steps of:
- setting the power save mode when the modem is not being used for communication;
- actuating a first key or a second key of the communication apparatus, wherein said second key is not a telephone dialing key;
- determining which of the first key and the second key is actuated in said actuating step;
- releasing the power save mode of the modem when it has been determined that the first key has been actuated;
- and
- not releasing the power save mode when it has been determined that the second key has been actuated.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a modem having a power save mode for saving power;
- actuation means to allow an operator to operate said communication apparatus, said actuation means including a first key and a second key, wherein said second key is not a telephone dialing key;
- determination means for determining which of said first key and said second key is actuated by the operator;
- a recorder that performs a recording operation in accordance with the actuation of said second key;
- and
- a processor for setting and releasing the power save mode of said modem, wherein said processor sets the power save mode when said modem is not used for communication, releases the power save mode in accordance with the actuation of said first key, and does not release the power save mode in accordance with the actuation of said second key.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a modem having a power save mode for saving power;
- actuation means to allow an operator to operate said communication apparatus, said actuation means including a first key and a second key, wherein said second key is not a telephone dialing key;
- determination means for determining which of said first key and said second key is actuated by the operator;
- a reader that performs a reading operation in accordance with the actuation of said second key;
- and
- a processor for setting and releasing the power save mode of said modem, wherein said processor sets the power save mode when said modem is not used for communication, releases the power save mode in accordance with the actuation of said first key, and does not release the power save mode in accordance with the actuation of said second key.
A method of operating a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus including a modem having a power save mode for saving power, comprising the steps of:
- setting the power save mode when the modem is not being used for communication;
