and a negative circuit 13. In the matching section above,
The selected subscriber number held in the first register 11A is compared with the set subscriber number from the facsimile device F held in the second register 11B, and if they match, a transmission permission signal of "1" is sent. , in the case of a mismatch, a transmission disallowance signal of "0" is sent to the facsimile device F.

Next, details of the facsimile machine F indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 2 will be explained. That is, 14 is a destination number input unit consisting of the dial 5 etc. in FIG. 1, 15 is a control unit of the facsimile machine F, and 1
Reference numeral 6 denotes a document reading section that reads the document inserted into the document insertion section 4 in FIG.

A transmission switch 7 and a reset switch 8 are electrically connected to the control section 15. Further, this control unit 15 becomes capable of transmitting when a transmission permission signal is given from the above-mentioned device 1 , gives a transmittable message to the control unit 9 of this device 1 , and displays this on the selection alarm display 3B. At the same time, when the transmission switch 7 is activated, the original inserted into the original insertion section 4 in FIG. Send.

Further, when the control section 15 is given the transmission disallowance signal, it becomes impossible to transmit, gives a disapproval message to the control section 9, displays this on the selection alarm display 3B, and activates the transmission switch 7. Even if the transmitting unit 17 does not operate, the transmitter 17 is prevented from operating.
Further, the control unit 15 controls the first and second registers 1
Verification synchronization signals during number verification are provided to 1A and 11B, respectively.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be described.

First, the operator activates the registration operation switch 2A and operates the numeric keypad 2B to register the subscriber numbers and subscriber names of a desired number of destinations. As a result, the plurality of registered subscriber numbers and their subscriber names are displayed on the registration number display 3A. Then, when the subscriber number of the destination to be transmitted is selected by the selection switch 2C, the selected subscriber number and subscriber name are displayed on the selection alarm display 3B and held in the first register 11A. . Next, the operator inserts the original to be transmitted into the original insertion section 4 and operates the dial 5 to set the subscriber number to be transmitted. The subscriber number thus set is held in the second register 11B, and is verified by a verification section consisting of an exclusive OR circuit 12 and a NOT circuit 13. If there is a match, a transmission permission signal is given to the control section 15. Then, a message indicating that it can be sent is displayed on the selection alarm display 3B, and by activating the transmission switch 7, the original is read by the original document acquisition section 16, and sent to the receiving facsimile device via the transmission section 17.
