A facsimile apparatus comprises a first control unit for controlling communication processing of image data and an overall apparatus, a laser beam printer for feeding a record sheet through a heater mounted on a fixing unit to fix an image to the record sheet, a temperature detection unit for detecting temperatures in an area of the heater through which the record sheet is fed and an area of the heater through which the record sheet is not fed, and a second control unit for restricting the communication processing of the image data from the first control unit to the laser beam printer when the result of detection of the temperature of the area through which the record sheet is not fed by the temperature detection unit exceeds a predetermined temperature. The second control unit sends to the first control unit a flag when the result of detection of the temperature in the area through which the record sheet is not fed by the temperature detection unit exceeds a predetermined temperature. The first control unit includes a memory for storing page image data and sends the next page image data stored in the memory to the laser beam printer after the confirmation of the erasure of the flag from the second control unit. The first control unit reduces a transmission rate of the next image data reception when the amount of image data temporarily stored in the memory exceeds a predetermined level.
