Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
A facsimile apparatus comprising: a plurality of one-touch keys, each for reproducing a combination of predetermined functions of the apparatus; a plurality of function keys for setting a predetermined function; and memory means for holding an identity of a plurality of different functions which are set by said function keys for each one-touch key, wherein the identity of the plurality of different functions includes a sequence in which said function keys are operated after designations of one of said one-touch keys until registration of said one-touch key.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 87 words
A facsimile apparatus comprising: a plurality of one-touch keys, each for reproducing a combination of predetermined functions of the apparatus; a plurality of function keys for setting a predetermined function; and memory means for holding an identity of a plurality of different functions which are set by said function keys for each one-touch key, wherein the identity of the plurality of different functions includes a sequence in which said function keys are operated after designations of one of said one-touch keys until registration of said one-touch key.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said functions include setting of a telephone number of a destination for transmission and a density of an image to be transmitted by the apparatus.
