Communication apparatus for selected data and speech communication

摘要

A communication apparatus includes a facsimile system for performing data communication, a plurality of telephone sets for performing speech communication; and a control unit for controlling the facsimile system. Each telephone set includes a display unit for displaying a state of data communication. The control unit selectively sends information associated with the state of the facsimile system to the telephone sets to cause the display units to display the state of the facsimile system.
