A user uses a control panel ( 13 ) to specify quick memory transmission and instruct the machine to begin the procedure. The first page of the document is scanned in by a scanning unit ( 14 ) and stored in a image memory ( 19 ). Upon storing of the image of the first page of the document in the image memory ( 19 ), NCU ( 17 ) automatically dials a transmission recipient. Additionally, a monitoring unit ( 16 ) allows the user to hear the sounds of the communication signals at the start of transmission. If, during the scanning of a second, third, or later page of a multi-page document, free space in the image memory ( 19 ) falls below a given value, then the page at which the memory became full is indicated to the user, thereby indicating the page at which retransmission should begin.
