Outgoing call reservation system and method for facsimile equipment

摘要

An outgoing call reservation system for a facsimile equipment with an outgoing call reservation key includes: a tone detecting unit detecting a signal of a predetermined cycle received through a telephone line; a memory unit storing the number of a receiving facsimile set dialed by a transmitter; a central processing unit controlling the facsimile equipment to be in an outgoing call reservation mode by using the outgoing call reservation key when a busy-tone signal is detected by the tone detecting unit after dialing, establishing a communication path between the transmitter and the receiving set by redialing the number stored in the memory unit repeatedly at intervals of a predetermined time, and allowing a ring signal to be produced so that a document transmission or voice communication can be performed.
