Abstract
Abstract To prevent wrong registration of opening information for activating automatic transmission function of facsimile apparatus. The opening information transmitted from the control device (3) is received by the communication controller (12), and is given to the controller (11). The controller (11) registers the received opening information in the opening information registration region (18a) set in the memory (18). Afterwards, the received opening information is printed on recording paper by the recording part (14). Meanwhile, the received opening information is converted into image data, and is transmitted to the control device (3) as the result of confirmation. Thus, setting and registration of the opening information may be effected from the control device (3), while the registered opening information is printed out at the facsimile apparatus (1) side, so that the content of the registration may be easily recognized, and it is also possible to confirm whether the registered opening information is correct or wrong immediately at the control device (3) side.
