Abstract

A controller of a facsimile machine controls a duplex document feeder (DDF) so that both sides of duplex pages are read by the scanner in the proper order and the data read from the duplex documents is sent by the facsimile machine in the proper order. The controller of the facsimile machine further controls the DDF so that jammed pages are read in the proper order by the scanner during the recovery mode and the data read therefrom is properly sent by the facsimile machine in the case of a jam occurrence. The controller of the facsimile machine further controls the DDF so that a back side of the covering letter is not read by the scanner in the duplex document mode. An image data converter converts the data of the image read from every other page so that the direction of the image of all of the facsimile copies received by the recipient is the same.
