A device for automatically transmitting a document in a facsimile system includes a central processing unit (CPU) that enables automatic transmission of image data from a document by dialing a telephone number recorded on the document in response to entry of a transmission start key. A key input unit includes the transmission start key and a number of function keys and provides key data to the central processing unit (CPU). A scanner scans the image data and the telephone number recorded on the document and converts the scanned image into digital image data. A pattern recognition unit recognizes the pattern of the telephone number scanned by the scanner. A dialing unit transmits a dialing signal through a public telephone network, and a line interface unit (LIU) forms a data transmission path with a receiving facsimile device to enable transmission of the image data.
