Abstract
Abstract a Disclosed is an apparatus having a call control panel for selecting and calling a telephone number of a party to be called through a telephone network and a transmit/receive mode control panel for establishing the receive mode for receiving transmission from the party on the other end of the line and the transmit mode for making transmission to that party disposed on the topside of the body case thereof, including electrical communication control means for controlling transmission and reception of both telephone and facsimile functions, and original reader mechanism, and a received information recorder mechanism within the body case, having a handset disposed on the topside of the body case, and having an original discharge hole from an original feed passage located on the center on the topside of the body case and a recording paper delivery hole from a received information recording paper passage disposed adjacent to the original discharge hole. The apparatus formed as above of the single body case and the handset disposed on the body case performs both telephone and facsimile functions occupying a smaller installation space and enables the operator, when necessary, to readily transmit and receive originals while talking over the telephone with the use of the handset and easily handle the original for transmission and the received information recording paper to be delivered from the center portion on the topside of the case.
