Abstract
Disclosed is a compact, light-weight facsimile apparatus which is reduced in cost, furnished with a large storage capacity and provided with flexibility in terms of handling by utilizing a magnetic tape recording/playback mechanism as a storage source of image data and providing an image data memory on the magnetic tape. Tape-drive control and format are so designed that a code representing that image data has been stored on the tape, management information, which includes transmission/reception control information and information indicating storage position, and the image data are stored on the tape based on a prearranged storage format.
