Disclosed is a facsimile device and a maintenance and control method thereof, which enable a reduction in time load and economic load of users and a maintenance and control station with respect to maintenance and control of the facsimile device. The facsimile device includes a trouble type determining circuit (5) for determining, when a trouble occurs, whether or not the type of the trouble has contents that can be handled by the users, and a control circuit (3), for controlling a sending/receiving circuit (7), when trouble type determining circuit (5) determines that the trouble contents cannot be handled by the users, so as to send the trouble contents to a facsimile unit (11) of the maintenance and control station. Therefore, even when such a trouble occurs that cannot be handled by the user, a fast dealing with the trouble can be easily made, resulting in a reduction in time load and economic load of the user and the maintenance and control station with respect to the maintenance and control of the facsimile device. |
