<p>An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine having a telephone conversation function, which can securely shift the facsimile communication mode to the telephone conversation mode after facsimile communication even if an error occurs during facsimile communication, without using a telephone conversation reservation function. After facsimile communication is started, when facsimile communication is stopped through the transmission of predetermined signals between the calling party side facsimile machine and the receiving party side facsimile machine in case image data to be transmitted is completely transmitted or when a communication error occurs because of paper jamming, the main controller (12) keeps occupying the communication line (1) occupied by the line controller (2), and the signal sound on the occupied communication line (1) is externally emitted by the speaker (11). When the calling party recognizes that the receiving party requests a call depending on the signal sound transmitted from the communication line (1) and externally emitted by the speaker (11) and lifts the handset (3), the lifting of the handset (3) is detected by the hook switch (4). The main controller (12) then controls the line controller (2) to enable conversation with the receiving party side facsimile machine via the handset (3). <IMAGE></p> |
