ABSTRACT:
A facsimile apparatus and a maintenance charge control apparatus capable of easily controlling and settling the maintenance charge of the apparatus. By responding to the transmission request instruction signal transmitted from the control apparatus, the facsimile apparatus transmits the count of the sheet counter to the control apparatus. The control apparatus causes the calculation of the maintenance charge by a maintenance charge calculator in response to the received count, and further issues a bill produced by a bill issuing means device on the basis of the calculated maintenance charge, and converts the bill into image data for transmission to the facsimile apparatus. When the maintenance charge is paid by the user in response to the transmitted bill, the paid-in information is entered from a keyboard to the control apparatus. The control apparatus issues a receipt by a receipt issuing device on the basis of the entered paid-in information, converts the receipt into image data, and transmits The image data to the facsimile apparatus. In the facsimile apparatus, the bill and receipt are recorded by the recording means.
