ABSTRACT:
A facsimile machine includes a telephone set, a facsimile information processor for processing facsimile information which is to be transmitted to a party device via a communication line and facsimile information which is received via the communication line, and a first switch for selectively coupling the facsimile information processor and the communication line. The facsimile machine also includes a direct-current source for supplying a direct current to the telephone set, and a voice message recording apparatus for recording a voice message input via the telephone set. Further, the facsimile machine includes a second switch for coupling the telephone set to the direct-current source when the voice message input via the telephone set is recorded on the voice message recording apparatus and for alternatively coupling the telephone set to the communication line in a state where the telephone set is disconnected from the direct-current source.
