Abstract: A facsimile apparatus is capable of automatically transmitting image data through two communication routes, a communication route via an internet and a public communication switched network. The facsimile apparatus has the capability of establishing a priority order for transmitting data through the two communication routes. In a normal transmission, the data will be transmitted through the highest priority communication route. In another mode, if communication cannot be made through the first communication route, normally the highest priority communication route, the system will automatically attempt to transmit the data through the second communication route. In a final mode, when it is determined that a transmission is urgent, the apparatus executes a two-route transmission operation. In the two-route transmission operation, if e-mail is the highest priority, the apparatus transmits the data together with e-mail to a personal computer of the addressee via the internet.

Abstract: The invention provides a communication terminal which can automatically print required image information received via the Internet. Specifically, a communication terminal is provided with receiving means for receiving image information via the Internet and a printer for printing the image information received by the receiving means onto a printing medium. The communication terminal operates such that if image information received by the receiving means complies with a predetermined format, printing instructing means instructs the printer to print the image information and the printer prints the image information received by the receiving means onto a printing medium. Another aspect of the invention provides a communication terminal in the form of a facsimile device that receives information via the Internet and can handle two kinds of data, G3 and TIFF, without enlarging memory capacity.

Abstract: In S100, a CPU detects reception of a call signal (CI signal). When the CPU detects a CNG signal (S200:YES), then in S300, the CPU execute a facsimile transmission routine for performing supply of information according to facsimile transmission procedures without providing verbal guidance. On the other hand, when no CNG signal is detected (S200:NO), then in S400, the CPU 40 executes a verbal guidance routine, and then provides information according to the verbal guidance.
