To improve the transmission efficiency of a facsimile machine when a new, second document is read into a reading device and is stored at a storage when a first document is in a recall standby state.

The facsimile machine recall control method has a step (Yes for S180) for recalling the first document when there is a new, second document interruption transmission instruction during recall standby time when the first document is stored at the storage of the facsimile device and the facsimile device is in the recall standby state of the first document. Also, in the facsimile recall control method, the first document is recalled when time after the recall standby state has started is longer than the standby time in interruption of the second document that is equal to or less than the recall standby time. Also, the facsimile recall control method further has a step for recalling the second document when the recall of the first document fails.
