COMMUNICATING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

摘要

There are provided a communicating apparatus capable of connecting a message recording device and performing facsimile communication, and a control method for the communicating apparatus. In a mode in which the message recording device responds to an incoming call, if it is detected that an incoming call has disappeared, counting by a repeat incoming call timer starts. If a next incoming call is detected before a time-out of the repeat incoming call timer occurs, counting by a message recording monitoring timer for counting a message recording response time starts. If the message recording device does not capture a line before a time-out of the message recording monitoring timer occurs, and the incoming call has not disappeared, facsimile signal reception processing starts.

主权项

1. A communicating apparatus capable of connecting a message recording device and performing facsimile communication, comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect an incoming call and detect that the incoming call has disappeared; a start unit configured to, in a mode in which the message recording device responds to an incoming call, start counting by a repeat incoming call timer in a case where said detection unit detects that the incoming call has disappeared, and start counting by a message recording monitoring timer for counting a message recording response time in a case where said detection unit detects a next incoming call before a time-out of the repeat incoming call timer occurs; and a control unit configured to control to start facsimile signal reception processing in a case where the message recording device does not capture a line before a time-out of the message recording monitoring timer started by said start unit occurs, and the incoming call detected by said detection unit has not disappeared.
