FIG. 3 shows an embodiment for G3 facsimile, in which user input data obtained by the panel circuit 30 is supplied to the main control circuit 32 (panel circuit 30).
Is provided with a plurality of user operation keys for data input).

In addition, the memory circuit 34 stores the telephone number and the name corresponding to each communication partner as a call destination,
This storage area is accessed by the main control circuit 32.
Further, various displays are displayed on the display circuit 36,
The display circuit 36 is controlled by the main control circuit 32.

The dial signal is given from the main control circuit 32 to the calling circuit 38 and sent from the NCU circuit 40 to the line 42. The NCU circuit 40 is controlled by the communication control circuit 44, and when the procedure signal transmitted by the communication partner who is the call destination is received by the NCU circuit 40, the procedure signal is transmitted via the communication control circuit 44. It is given to the analysis circuit 46.

The information analyzing means 46 analyzes the NSF signal of the given procedure signal and extracts the name of the communication partner from the NSF signal, and notifies the main control circuit 32 of the extracted name.

In the main control circuit 32, a process of writing the telephone number used for calling and the notified name into the memory circuit 34 is performed, and the calling is issued only when the mode for prohibiting the writing is not set. The telephone number and the name of the communication partner as the call destination are written in the memory circuit 34 in a corresponding form.

FIG. 4 illustrates the procedure for setting this mode. After the function key is operated to select the function mode, the set key of the panel circuit 30 is operated.

Then, when the writing of the telephone number and name to the memory circuit 34 is not prohibited, the numeric key "
