The CPU 2 is connected to a ROM 3, a RAM 4, a timer 5, a programmable parallel 110 (Programmable Parallel 110) 6, and a
．． 7.10, UPI (peripheral CPU) connected to 9.11.12. The CPU 2 controls the entire facsimile machine and also encodes and decodes image data.

Furthermore, the CPU 2 is a means for the calling side to automatically make a call to the telephone number of the called party registered in the communication management result report memory, and for the called side to make a call to the called party's telephone number registered in the communication management result report memory. This is an example of means for automatically updating the calling party's telephone number registered in automatic dialing.

The DMA controller 3 controls memories such as the ROM 3 and RAM 4, and the UPI 9 controls the drive of originals and recording paper. Further, UPll controls the recording system of the parallel-to-serial converter 25 and the thermal head, and UPI 12 controls the key manual switch 31 and the display on the liquid crystal display LCD 32.

The modem 14 modulates and demodulates image data and transmits and receives procedure signals for facsimile communication procedures, and the network control unit (NCU) 15 switches the line to the telephone 34 side or the modem 14 side. .

The dialer 16 sends a dial signal to the line in response to telephone number data of the communication device output from the CPU 2 via the PP17.

In addition, a relay 8, a speaker drive circuit 18, a speaker 19, and an analog-to-digital converter 21 are provided.

The E2 ROM 17 is used as a memory for storing a communication management result report, and is also used as a memory for storing the telephone number of the other party to be registered in automatic dialing.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a communication management result report used in the above embodiment.

This communication management result report is a report showing the contents of communications conducted in the past by a facsimile machine installed in a certain company, and the contents of the communications also include the telephone number of the other party. The above communication contents are stored in the E2ROM 17.

When the report key, which is one of the keys 31, is pressed, the CPU 2 outputs a communication result management report according to a program stored in the ROM 3 in advance.

By the way, due to a company move, the facsimile machine changed from phone number ooo-oooo to phone number ooo-
Suppose that it is to be connected to xxxx. in this case,
The facsimile machine of business partner A (phone number 0OO-ΔΔΔΔ) of the above company has a one-touch memory, and the telephone number ooo-oooo before the move is still registered in the one-touch memory.

In this case, if you change the user phone number (calling party's phone number) on the moved facsimile machine, the facsimile machine will automatically detect the change in phone number and check whether you have previously communicated with it according to the communication management result report. This system automatically dials each party one after another and changes each party's old telephone number in the one-touch memory to a new telephone number.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the above embodiment.

In this FIG. 2, each mode of copy (Sl:), transmission (S2), and reception (S3) is normally selected, and the copy operation (S6) and transmission operation (
S7), and a receiving operation (S8) is performed.

Additionally, when function processing is selected (S4), polling ID registration (39, S14), user abbreviation registration (
S10.515), report output (S11.51B)
and is turned off.

On the other hand, when the user telephone number mode is selected (S12)
, an operation of registering a user telephone number is performed (17);
Subsequently, update the other party's 1-touch memory (318)
