【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic circuit configuration of a facsimile apparatus. The facsimile apparatus includes a control unit 1 for controlling the entire facsimile, transmission data, reception data, a telephone number, and a country code. A RAM 2 for holding such things as a memory, an auto dialer 3 for transmitting a dial, an NCU 4 for controlling a line, and a reading section 6 for optically reading the contents of a document set on a document table (not shown). , A modem 7 that performs modulation / demodulation processing, a recording unit 8 that applies heat in dot units to recording paper by a thermal head to perform recording, and a program necessary for the operation of the control unit 1 and a display unit 11 described below. An operation panel that includes a ROM 9 that stores operation guide data and the like to be supplied to the computer, a numeric keypad 10b, a one-touch key, and a country name button 10a that displays the country name. 0, and a display unit 11 made of LCD.

The country code is registered, for example, as follows. By pressing several keys such as the # key on the ten-key pad 10b in a predetermined order, the control unit 1 judges it and activates the country code registration mode. When this mode is activated, the control unit 1 reads the operation guide data from the ROM 9 and supplies it to the display unit 11. On this display unit 11, enter the country code after pressing the "country name button". Display an operation guide such as ".

When registering the country code of Italy in the country name button 10a of No. 1, the country name button 10a of No. 1 is pressed in accordance with the above display, and then the country code of Italy "39" is input by ten keys. The control unit 1 stores the number "39" in the country code registration area of the RAM 2 as the number corresponding to the country name button 10a. After inputting the country code "39" of Italy, by pressing the # key or the like on the ten key 10b, the control unit 1 judges it and terminates the country code registration mode, and shifts to the telephone waiting mode. After that, for example, a sticker with "I" may be attached to the first country name button 10a.

When making a call to an Italian party using the country code thus registered, first, the numeric keypad corresponding to the international telephone identification number is sequentially pressed, and then the first country name button 10a is pressed. , Then, press the numeric keypad corresponding to the other party's telephone number (including area code) in order. The international telephone identification number data input by the ten keys, the country code data read from the RAM2 by the operation of the first country name button 10a, and the telephone number data input by the ten keys are accumulated in the buffer of the auto dialer 3 in that order. Will be done. Then, by pressing a communication key (not shown), the accumulated international telephone identification number data, country code data, and telephone number data are read in that order, and the DTMF signal corresponding to these number data is turned on. It is output in order from the auto dialer 3, which allows you to call the desired party in Italy.

As described above, according to the present invention, the country code of the country is dialed only by pressing the country name button 10a in which the country name is written. This frees you from the hassle of looking up a number and dialing. In this implementation, the international telephone identification number is input by the ten-key pad. However, if the country code including this international telephone identification number is registered in correspondence with one country name button 10a, fewer key operations are required. You can call overseas. In addition, in the present embodiment, the person who purchased the facsimile machine registered the country code in the country name button 10a. However, regarding the country code which is considered to be frequently used, at the stage of providing the facsimile machine. It may be registered (stored in the ROM 9) in advance. Also, when registering a speed dial, if the country code data is transferred to the buffer when the country name button is pressed, it is convenient because there is no need to check the country code when registering the speed dial. is there.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the effect of being freed from the hassle of checking the country code of the country and dialing each time when calling abroad is achieved.
