Method and device for facsimile communication capable of completing communication even when there is disruption to communication

摘要

This patent specification describes a MODEM device which includes a detector configured to detect a synchronization signal transmitted from a source MODEM in a resynchronization process of a primary channel and a timer configured to count up starting from a beginning of a detection of the synchronization signal, and send information to forcibly move into a receiving mode for receiving image data when a time period from the beginning to a completion of the detection of the synchronization signal exceeds a predetermined time period.
