A facsimile apparatus is disclosed that performs accurate and efficient facsimile transmission while obtaining accurate reception capacity information of each transmission destination. The first circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of intermediate signals from a data signal. The related tracing flow may be stopped by the tracing de-activating message by means of the present invention so as to achieve flexibility of tracing function and improve network performance. The user-specific multimedia data may be stored in a second database and may be communicated from the second database to a user terminal. When the embroidery data selected by the embroidery data selection unit includes thread color data of two or more color-based pattern portions having a same color, a randomly extracted color is assigned to the color-based pattern portions so that the color-based pattern portions have the same color.
