Abstract: A pair-facsimile device in which a pair of facsimile devices having similar performance characteristics are temporarily coupled to each other in a distributing channel starting from a manufacturer to a terailer shop, connected as, one compact integral product and in case of using the facsimile devices, they are separated and each of them is installed at a requisite location.

Abstract: A pair-facsimile device in which a pair of same kinds of facsimile devices are temporarily coupled to each other in a distributing channel starting from a manufacturer to a retailer shop, connected as one compact integral product and in case of using the facsimile devices, they are separated and each of them is installed at a requisite locations.

Abstract: A facsimile receiver provides with confirmation means whether or not there exists transmission mistake at the transmitter side. As soon as receiving of the picture information is finished, receiving person display data representing a division of receiving the picture information, data of representing the day and hour of the receiving and the number of received sheets are transmitted automatically as receipt information to the transmitter.

Abstract: A thermal printing head comprises an array of heating elements divided into two blocks each having alternate pairs of two adjacent heating elements, the two blocks being further divided into eight subblocks. The pairs of two adjacent heating elements are supplied with electric power through power feed lines each shared by such a pair of two adjacent heating elements. Two adjacent heating elements belonging to the two blocks are drivable by a single driver. Therefore, the number of the power feed lines and the drivers can be reduced. The eight subblocks are driven two at a time in one cycle of operation, and hence can be energized by a limited allowable current supplied to the thermal printing head.
