Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the facsimile equipment in which communication by erroneous destination entry is prevented by making dialing only when plural received destination information sets are' coincident with each other. CONSTITUTION:A control circuit 44 stores picture information read from an original via a signal line 44c to a memory circuit 16 and dial information written on the original outputted to a signal line 12a is entered to recognize a destination. Then whether or not a destination entered from an operation part is coincident with a destination described in the transmission information is the same is discriminated. Only when the two destinations are coincident, dialing is made and when dissident, it is displayed by a display circuit 43. Thus, erroneous communication by erroneous destination entry is effectively prevented. Furthermore, the method of designation from the operation part is preferably a method using a one-touch dial, an abbreviated dial or a ten-key.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile machine, a call is made to the other party by one-touch dial, speed dial, or ten-key dial.

For example, the operator uses the one-touch dial 0
When it is desired to make a call to the other party of No. 1, the one-touch dial 01 is pressed.

[0004]

However, if the operator mistakenly presses the adjacent one-touch dial (for example, one-touch dial 02) here, the transmission information is sent to the other party of the one-touch dial 02.
Since the one-touch dial 02 always has a facsimile number, if the operation is performed as it is, erroneous communication will be performed.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus which can effectively prevent erroneous communication due to erroneous destination input operation.

[0006]

The present invention has means for inputting a destination to be called a plurality of times by the same method or different methods, and when a plurality of input destination information match each other. Only the calling operation is performed, and when the plurality of destination information do not match, the fact is displayed and the calling operation is not performed.

For example, a method of reading a telephone number described in a manuscript and a method of inputting a telephone number with various operation keys are combined, a method of inputting with a ten-key of the operation keys and a method of inputting with a one-touch or shortening button By combining and, the two input numbers are collated, and correct communication is performed.
