To provide a facsimile equipment which performs transmission without paper and satisfies the real time property.

An image picked up by a video camera is not only displayed on an LCD display device but also temporarily latched in a VRAM 13. A touch panel 3A is attached to the display screen. Image data in the VRAM 13 is subjected to dither processing and is binarized. Meanwhile, hand-written graphics on the touch panel 3A are read and are temporarily latched in a VRAM 12. Hand-written graphics are transmitted by facsimile together with the binarized signal subjected to dither processing after being overwritten.
