摘要

A facsimile apparatus is provided which includes a casing, a system control unit for controlling a facsimile operation, an optical system, reading facsimile data of a transmit document, arranged below the system control unit within the casing, and a document feeding path, provided above the system control unit, for feeding the transmit document to a reading station where the optical system reads the facsimile data of the transmit document. These arrangements provide a compact structure of the facsimile apparatus.
