ABSTRACT:
A facsimile apparatus having a memory transmission function which enables a reply to a facsimile-transmitted original to be automatically reminded of at predetermined period of time. When transmission to a receiving side facsimile apparatus requiring a reminder is performed, the memory transmission function stores image data transmitted as data used for reminding the receiving side facsimile apparatus of a reply in an image data storing section. Additionally, the memory transmission function stores the telephone number and called subscriber identification number of the receiving side facsimile apparatus, the time of the transmission to the receiving side facsimile apparatus, the expected time of reception, the number of retransmissions, and the address number of the image in a transmission data storing section. When the facsimile transmitted original is replied to in the form of a transmission from the receiving side facsimile apparatus, the data used for reminding the stored facsimile apparatus of a reply is erased. Where no reply from the receiving side facsimile apparatus is received, or when any of the expected times of reception stored in the transmission data storing section exceeds the present time, a main control section performs dialing based on the telephone number corresponding to the expected time of reception, and then transmits the image data corresponding to that telephone number.
