ABSTRACT:
A facsimile communication system includes a facsimile which is provided with an automatic document feeder (ADF), a Start key, a downstream-connected telephone and a manual receive mode where a user, upon hearing a facsimile signal, can press the Start key and commence a facsimile receive action. A processor present in the facsimile is responsive to the detection of (i) a ring signal from a remote communication device, and (ii) a document present in the ADF, followed by (iii) an actuation of the Start key and (iv) detection of an incoming facsimile signal (i.e., a CNG signal), to initiate a facsimile receive action. Accordingly, even though a document is located in the ADF and the Start key has been actuated, the facsimile's transmission action is inhibited. This action also occurs, even if the downstream telephone is in the off-hook state.
