A memory management device enables to effectively use a memory which
permits its stored data to be erased only in blocks. A facsimile
apparatus is arranged to temporarily store sending information and
received information in the memory and then to send or receive the
information. The facsimile apparatus includes a flash memory whose data
is allowed to be erased only in blocks and a storage unit for storing the
sending or the received information in its own blocks if the sending or
the received information is stored in the flash memory.
