Abstract
A facsimile transmission system is applied a facsimile machine which has a store-and-forward mode in which image data related to one or a plurality of document pages are read by a reading part and temporarily stored in a memory part and thereafter transmitted to a destination by a transmitting part at an arbitrary time. The facsimile transmission system includes a detecting part for detecting a certain state where an empty memory area of the memory part available for storing the image data of the document page reaches a predetermined area, an alarm output part for outputting an alarm when the detecting part detects the certain state, an instructing part for outputting an instruction which instructs a chain transmission mode in which one or a plurality of document pages are read by the reading part and transmitted by the transmitting part immediately after transmission of the one or plurality of document pages stored in the memory part without interruption, and a control part for controlling a mode of the facsimile machine to the chain transmission mode in response to the instruction when the alarm is output from the alarm output part.
