Abstract: A multifunctional machine includes a facsimile communication portion and a control portion that makes the facsimile communication portion transfer facsimile data to a reception-side facsimile machine. When the facsimile communication portion starts to perform communication for data transfer with the reception-side facsimile machine, the facsimile communication portion receives, from the reception-side facsimile machine, a reception allowance/rejection signal in conformity with a facsimile communication protocol. When the control portion indicates the reception allowance of the transfer of the reception allowance/rejection signal, the facsimile communication portion is made to transfer the facsimile data to the reception-side facsimile machine.

Abstract: Provided is a facsimile apparatus that prevents a transmission forgetfulness of a regular transmission. Every time a FAX is transmitted, a transmission history is accumulated in a transmission history table. A regular transmission detecting part refers to the transmission history table for every time zone corresponding to the check interval memorized in a setting table. Thereby, the regular transmission detecting part detects whether or not the regular transmission was carried out in the past. If the regular transmission is carried out, the transmission judging part refers to the transmission history table. The transmission judging part judges whether or not the regular transmission was carried out in the time zone for today. If judged the transmission being not carried out, an informing part reports that the regular transmission is not carried out to the mail address corresponding to the report destination memorized in the setting table.
