PURPOSE: To set the next transmission original and to designate the destination before the transmission of the preceding transmitting original is terminated, by storing destination information for plural sets of transmission originals and the number of transmission originals in accordance with transmission in order, and transmitting originals successively on a basis of these stored information.

CONSTITUTION: The first set of transmission originals consisting of px-number of pages is set to a facsimile terminal 4, and n-number of destination facsimile terminals 2-x and the number px of pages are designated by an operating part 6, and the start operation is performed. A processing part 7 stores destination identification information 2-x and the number px of pages from the operating part 6 to a destination information part 12 of a storage part 8. Each time one- page components of transmission originals are transmitted from the facsimile terminal 4, the page end signal is detected in an interface part 11 and is transmitted to the processing part 7, and one is subtracted from the number px of pages stored in the storage part 8. When the transmission of the first set of transmission originals is completed, the number px of pages in the destination information part 12 is reduced to 0, and next, the transmission of the second set of transmission originals is started.
