a display unit;

an input unit;

a facsimile control section for executing, in parallel, jobs including:

a read job for generating facsimile data based on a manuscript to be transmitted via facsimile;

a facsimile transmission job for transmitting facsimile data to a specified facsimile destination;

a facsimile reception job for receiving and storing transmitted facsimile data; and

a print job for printing facsimile data received and stored by the facsimile reception job; and

a cancellation instruction acceptance section for executing an instruction input await processing for awaiting an operation on the input unit in a state where information to prompt input of an instruction on whether to cancel an arbitrary job managed as a running or waiting job by the facsimile control section is displayed on the display unit, wherein

one of jobs is selected by way of a predetermined algorithm from the running or waiting jobs by the facsimile control section when the button on the input unit is pressed to cancel the job,

the cancellation instruction acceptance section executes the instruction input await processing on the selected job, and

the predetermined algorithm used by the cancellation instruction acceptance section is an algorithm whereby in case the facsimile control section is executing the read job, the read job is selected, whereby in case the facsimile control section is not executing the read job and the facsimile control section is managing the facsimile transmission job as a running or waiting job, the facsimile transmission job is selected, and whereby in case the facsimile control section is not executing the read job and the facsimile control section is not managing a facsimile transmission job as a running or waiting job, but managing the print job as a running or waiting job, the print job is selected.
