Method for automatically receiving image data in facsimile system regardless of whether such facsimile system is operating in private line mode or public line mode

摘要

A method for automatically receiving image data in a facsimile system regardless whether such a facsimile system is operating in either a private line mode or a public line mode. The method includes the steps of: automatically receiving the image data in an automatic reception mode upon reception of a ring signal; forming a voice speech upon detection of a hook-off state of a telephone after the ring signal is received; and automatically receiving the image data when the ring signal is not received and a calling tone signal is detected.
