ABSTRACT:
A compact facsimile apparatus has at least a minimum function required for a facsimile apparatus. The apparatus is used in either a connected state or a non-connected state with respect to a functional expansion unit including a functional expansion section for expanding the function or adding another function, a power supply section for supplying power to the compact facsimile apparatus, and a set portion serving as a mounting base for the compact facsimile apparatus. The used state of the facsimile apparatus can be properly set to be used either as a small, lightweight, compact facsimile apparatus or as a stationary type compact facsimile apparatus. In addition, a functional expansion unit comprises a roll-like sheet holder for continuously supplying a roll-like recording sheet to a recording section of a compact facsimile apparatus, a power supply section for supplying power to the compact facsimile apparatus, a set portion serving as a mounting base on which the compact facsimile apparatus is mounted, and a connector portion for connecting the compact facsimile apparatus to the unit. If the compact facsimile apparatus is connected to the unit, the resulting structure can be used as a stationary type facsimile apparatus.
