ABSTRACT:
A facsimile automatic delivery system which delivers documents which are managed in a hierarchical structure, by using a facsimile device to destinations indicated in a destination list. A transmission management editing unit produces and manages transmission management information in which transmission results such as transmission completion and transmission incompletion are managed in accordance with the destination list and in the hierarchical structure. A retrieval unit retrieves a document to be transmitted from a filing device, on the basis of the transmission management information supplied from the transmission management editing unit. A data conversion unit converts the document which is to be transmitted and obtained as a result of the retrieval, into a form which can be facsimiled. A facsimile transmission unit transmits the converted data to a destination indicated in the destination list. In accordance with completion or incompletion of the facsimile transmission, transmission results of the transmission management information are updated. On the basis of the updated transmission management information, a document which is to be transmitted but has been transmitted incompletely is retransmitted to the corresponding destination.
