The facsimile apparatus includes a receiver which receives electrical signals from a second facsimile apparatus. A first signal processing unit (70) converts the received facsimile signals to control signals. A first output unit (74) outputs visible information and storable data. A reading unit (80) automatically reads the visible information and the storable data of the output unit. A second signal processing unit (84) converts the read out information and data into facsimile signals. A transmitter (8) transmits the facsimile signals to the second facsimile apparatus.
