Abstract
A facsimile apparatus which utilizes a dialing signal of a tone signal and can be used as a called-side communication apparatus to print desired character string information through a simple operation of a calling-side telephone set, and also a facsimile communication method in the facsimile apparatus. In the called-side facsimile apparatus, a character string information memory stores therein a plurality of character string information and unique numbers associated therewith; whereas a character information memory stores therein image information corresponding to the respective character string information. When a user of the calling-side communication apparatus enters a number corresponding to desired character string information, this causes a dialing signal indicative of the number to be transmitted to the facsimile apparatus. In the facsimile apparatus, a control unit converts to image information the character string information corresponding to the number indicated by the dialing signal detected by a dialing signal detector, and the converted image information is printed by a printer.
