FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT WITH ACCOUNTING DEVICE

Japanese Patent JP3830280

B2

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a facsimile equipment with an accounting device which takes an untransmitted stored transmission file into consideration to more accurately limit the storage operation based on the forecast charge for communication.
SOLUTION: Balance information is taken out by the accounting device (step S1). After balance information is taken out, the first page of the document to be transmitted is stored as picture data in a SAF memory (step S2). The picture size of picture data stored in the SAF memory is calculated by a picture size calculation device 5 (step S3). The forecast charge for communication is calculated by a communication charge forecasting device based on information of the calculated picture size and information of a forecast communication time (step S4). This forecast charge for communication and the charge for communication of a file waiting for transmission are summed (step S5), and the result is compared with taken-out balance information (step S6). If balance information is larger, the operation is returned to the step S1, and the next page is stored; but if it is smaller, the operation is terminated even if a transmission document is left untransmitted, thus the storage operation based on the forecast charge for communication is limited.
