ABSTRACT:
A facsimile apparatus includes a sheet carrier path adapted to serve dually as (i) an original sheet carrier path for conveying an original sheet, and (ii) a recording sheet carrier path for conveying a recording sheet. Driving rollers convey a sheet inserted into the sheet carrier path, the inserted sheet being at least one of an original sheet and a recording sheet. A reading device, disposed at a reading position in the sheet carrier path, reads the inserted sheet when the sheet has been conveyed by the driving rollers to the reading position. A printing device, disposed at a printing position in the sheet carrier path, prints (e.g., a confirmation) on the inserted sheet when the sheet has been conveyed by the driving rollers to the printing position. A detecting device detects a presence of the inserted sheet in the sheet carrier path, and a selecting device selects at least one of a transmitting mode and a receiving mode. A control device controls each of the reading device and the printing device in response to a detection by the detecting device that the inserted sheet is present in the sheet carrier path such that (i) when the selecting device selects the transmitting mode, the control device controls the reading device to read the inserted sheet, and (ii) when the selecting device selects the receiving mode, the control device controls the printing device to print the inserted sheet.
