摘要

The disclosure teaches a facsimile apparatus for transmitting and receiving signals representing dark/light variations on a document. The apparatus includes a scanner and a document storage arrangement for storing a plurality of document sheets to be scanned for dark/light variations for generating transmitted signals. The apparatus also includes a copy medium storage arrangement for storing a plurality of copy medium sheets for recording dark/light variations represented by received signals. A document feed path leads from the document storage arrangement to the scanner, a copy medium feed path leads from the copy medium storage arrangement to the scanner, and an additional sheet feed path is also provided. The copy medium feed path, the document feed path, and the additional sheet feed path merge so as to form a single feed path at the scanner.
