Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the ITU-T recommendation, a communication protocol for facsimile communication using the Internet as a communication path has been proposed. 37, T.R. Thirty-eight standards have been recommended, and accordingly, PSTN (Public Switched Telephony Net)
There has been proposed a facsimile apparatus having a function of performing facsimile communication using not only the work (public telephone network) but also the Internet as a communication path (hereinafter, referred to as an Internet FAX function). This is attracting attention because if the communication fee of facsimile communication performed only via the PSTN becomes high, using the Internet as a communication path instead has a cost merit.

After the image is temporarily stored at 0, the reading unit 103 is driven to read the image of the document. Light from a fluorescent lamp in the reading unit 103 irradiates the original through a slit along the main scanning direction of the original, and a linear image formed by reflected light of the light is set via a lens system on a line provided along the main scanning direction. An image is formed on a photoelectric sensor in the shape of a circle and converted into an electric signal. The light receiving elements of the photoelectric sensor are continuously arranged in a line having an A4 size width at a density of, for example, 8 pels (8 pieces / mm). The document is conveyed at a constant speed to the document feeder of the reading unit 103, and, for example, one A4-size document is read at a line density of 7.7 lines / mm in the sub-scanning direction. An analog signal for each pixel obtained from each light receiving element of the photoelectric sensor is converted into digital image data of one pixel = 6 bits (64 gradations) by an A / D converter in the reading unit interface 106. After being transferred to the image processing IC 107 and subjected to image processing such as binarization, it is transferred to the encoding / decoding IC 112 and converted into, for example, an MR code. It is transferred to the image memory portion of the RAM 110 and stored temporarily.
