Abstract

PURPOSE:To send a password effectively by devising a designated part of received communication address information or user.user information not to be displayed nor printed out when the part of the received communication address information or user.user information is a predetermined value. CONSTITUTION:Whether or not a communication address commands nonindication of user.user information is checked by referencing a list of communication addresses stored in a RAM of a microprocessor section 9 on the LCD display of the user.user information. Then a data table of the user.user information stored in the RAM is referenced to check whether or not the user.user information itself is data designating the non-display. When the user.user information corresponds to any of both the cases, the designated non-display part is replaced with spaces or other symbols or the part is deleted and the result is displayed on the LCD of an operation panel 1. Thus, the security part such as a password is made secured.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a message display and printing method for a facsimile machine connected to ISDN or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when displaying a communication and outputting a communication report, only the subscriber telephone number of the other party is
Alternatively, the subscriber abbreviation is displayed and printed in addition to the subscriber telephone number. Also, a method of displaying and printing user / user information together with the subscriber telephone number has been proposed, but this method has adopted a method of printing the user / user information in whole or from the beginning up to how many characters.

Further, when the user / user information is displayed or printed in this manner, the display or the printing is performed regardless of the structure of the data.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since the user / user information is displayed or printed all or only a certain fixed amount from the beginning, the password value is set using the user / user information. Even if communication is performed by using the password, there is a drawback that the password is displayed or printed.

Further, for example, in the case of a device that uses only Chinese characters for printing, it is effective to use 1-byte code data for display and 2-byte code data for printing. With the method of uniformly displaying and printing user-user information like this, it is not possible to use Katakana or Kanji properly, and the only data that can be displayed and printed is to be sent, making full use of the printer's functions depending on the user-user information. There is a drawback that you cannot do it.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus which can effectively transmit a password based on user / user information and can fully utilize the functions of a printer.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, in a facsimile apparatus which communicates using user / user information, when the communication address information and the user / user information are displayed or printed separately, the communication address is used. If at least part of the information or the user-user information has a predetermined value, the specified part of the user-user information is not displayed or printed out, and is replaced with a space or another symbol or character. It was done.

Further, according to the present invention, in a facsimile machine connected to a communication network having user / user information, when the data of the user / user information is a 1-byte code or a 2-byte code, the 1-byte code is a display device. , And the 2-byte code is output to the printer.
