Abstract
Abstract There is a coordinates input system which is connected to a data transmitter such as a facsimile and inputs various kinds of data. This input system comprises a coordinates input unit to detect coordinates values input onto a plate; a print sheet set on the plate and on which instruction items to the data transmitter are written; an instructing unit to instruct in correspondence to the display item on the print sheet corresponding to the coordinates values; a control unit to output the instruction, corresponding to the instructed item, to the data transmitter; and a synthesizer to receive graphic data from the coordinates input unit and synthesize with information of an original to be transmitted the data transmitter. With this system, a destination address or the name of transmission side or the like can be input and synthesized as coordinates data by an operating unit. Various kinds of instructions can be output to the data transmitter.
