An image communication apparatus comprises: reader for reading an image on an original and converting to an electrical signal; a memory for storing the image data corresponding to the electrical signal; a detector for detecting that an unused memory area in the memory becomes a predetermined amount; an interrupter for interrupting the operations of the memory and reading means in response to a detection output from the detector; a transmitter for transmitting the image data stored in the memory; and a control unit for allowing the operations of the reader and memory to be restarted after the transmission by the transmitter from the location where the operation of the reader was interrupted or from a location before the above interrupted location. This apparatus can certainly perform the image communication using a memory of a small capacity. In case of transmitting and receiving an original longer than a standard size, the recording sheets after the reception can be easily connected and reproduced.
