Abstract
Abstract A facsimile apparatus which temporarily stores a document received and realizes selective printing as required. This apparatus comprises a communication terminal, a modem, a memory which stores received information demodulated by the modem, a display which displays such received information, a recording device which records such received information and a switch which selects driving of the memory, display and/or recording device. With this apparatus received information is once stored in the memory and is selectively recorded as required by the recording device after confirmation of the contents of the received information with the display.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A facsimile apparatus comprising: information signal receiving means, demodulation means connected to said receiving means which demodulates said signal to provide received information, memory means connnected to said demodulation means which stores received information demodulated by said demodulation means, display means connected to said memory means which displays received information demodulated by said demodulation means, recording means connected to said memory means and said demodulation means which records received information demodulated by said demodulation means, electronic control means which controls operation of said memory means, display means and recording means, first power supply means which supplies electrical power to said memory means and display means, and second power supply means which supplies electrical power to said recording means, wherein said control means provides an operation selection means which selectively operates said memory means, display means and recording means and said operation selection means provides a driver detection means which detects absence of a driver.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
