To provide facsimile equipment capable of executing facsimile transmission even for any complicated image without providing any mass storage means.

This equipment is provided with an operation part 108 for setting transmission time by instructing facsimile transmission and a reading part 104 for reading an original according to the instruction from the operation part 108. When the idle capacitance of a RAM 102 is a little or it is not the designated transmission time, the image read by the reading part 104 is temporarily transmitted to an external information terminal 150. When it becomes the designated transmission time, the transmission image is received and the facsimile transmission is performed through a communication part 106 to the desired opposite side facsimile equipment, for example.
