Abstract

PURPOSE: To minimize the time needed for decision of the conditions applied to the facsimile communication by providing a communication condition holding means which holds the existing nonstandard communication conditions in addition to the communication conditions proper to its own equipment an the international standard communication conditions. CONSTITUTION: A communication holding means 101 of a facsimile terminal equipment 100 holds the existing nonstandard communication conditions in addition to the communication conditions proper to its own equipment and the international standard communication conditions. A communication condition matching means 102 receives a control signal that is sent from the equipment 100 of the opposite party and shows the desired communication conditions and selects the communication conditions coincident with those shown by the control signal out of various communication conditions held by the means 101 before the start of the facsimile communication. Then a communication condition decision means 103 decides to apply the communication conditions that is selected by the means 102 and coincident with the communication conditions of the equipment 100 of the opposite party shown by the control signal for the facsimile communication with the opposite party. In such a way, the communication conditions to be applied to the facsimile communication can be easily decided.
