Abstract
A facsimile apparatus which has an auto-dialing function automatically begins a procedure for image communication after making a call to a destination. If the apparatus does not receive a response signal from the destination during predetermined period from the start of the procedure, the procedure is terminated. If a pause period is set into the auto-dialing operation, the apparatus automatically changes the predetermined period according to the set pause period, so that the apparatus with certainty receives the response signal from the destination by setting a long pause period into the auto-dialing operation.
