<p>In a facsimile communication method according to the present invention, if a relay broadcast mode is set by an operator, in which receiving station numbers or the like is inputted from an operating section 14, the receiving station numbers are stored in a block B1. If a start key is operated in this state, a document set in a scanner section 12 is read, and image data corresponding to the read document are sequentially stored in a block B2. If information on the document corresponding to one page is read, the receiving station numbers are read out of the block B1, to produce a transmission frame. Further, the image data is read out of the block B2, to produce a transmission frame. The produced transmission frames are sequentially transmitted to a relay station 3. Since the receiving station numbers are transmitted as a part of information, therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce communication time, as compared with a case where a DNL signal including receiving station numbers is transmitted as a part of the transmission control procedure. As a result, it is possible to reduce communication costs, as compared with the conventional costs. <IMAGE></p> |
