An apparatus for sequentially transmitting a plurality of multipage documents via a facsimile includes an optical scanner (14), an optical character recognition apparatus (28), and a feature recognizer apparatus (30). The present apparatus allows hands-free transmittal of several multipage documents by automatically determining from the document's cover sheet the values of operating parameters, such as the telephone numbers of destination facsimile machines and the number of pages in the document to transmit. Human intervention is not required to dial phone numbers or separate documents that are to be transmitted to different destinations. Moreover, the present apparatus allows for direct transmittal of copies to those persons indicated in the document to receive the same without the need to rescan the document.
