A facsimile apparatus having a printer function for local or remote printing out of image data from a computer, and a scanner device which reads an original document and produces corresponding image data for transmission and remote printing. A printer control device controls a connection with the computer to receive image data from the computer. Image device from the printer control device is processed using the same processing mechanisms as image data from the scanner device, and applied to a communication device capable of sending the image data in the form of facsimile data to a destination facsimile apparatus. The processing mechanisms include a memory which stores the image data from either the scanner device or the printer control device, and outputs the stored image data to the communication device for transmission as the facsimile data.
