[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventional fax machines are stationary and cannot be carried. In addition, since the printer was equipped with a printing device for printing the received image signals, and it was necessary to equip it with roll-type thermal paper, etc., the device had become larger. In addition, when sending, it was necessary to create a sent document as a hard copy. On the other hand, the conventional word processor has a too large memory capacity for the purpose of creating a simple contact message on the go, and the memory cannot be effectively used. In addition, when a fax transmission document is created, a printing device and paper are required, which increases the size of the device. Therefore, even if a facsimile can be carried, carrying a facsimile and a word processor is laborious and impractical when a user wants to make a simple contact message on the go and send it by facsimile. Even if the facsimile and the word processor are simply integrated, many functions are wasted and the device becomes large, which is inconvenient to carry.

An object of the present invention is to provide a portable office processing machine which is capable of rationally combining a word processor and a facsimile so as to be convenient for carrying, and which can send and receive a document to and from a desired party on the go. ..
