Abstract
A facsimile apparatus facilitates the setting of SUB/SEP/PWD of the ITU-T Recommendation T.30. A service access number area for storing information for generating a SUB or SEP signal and a service access password area for a PWD signal are provided in an auto-dial such as one-touch dial or abbreviated dial to eliminate need of a user to set SUB/SEP/PWD for each transmission.

A facsimile apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of manipulation means for auto-calling;
- memory means for storing call information on a call of a destination station, corresponding to each of said plurality of manipulation means,
- said memory means including a first memory area for storing first information for a sub-address signal or a selective polling signal defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.30 and a second memory area for storing second information for a password signal defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.30;
- register means for registering the first information or the second information corresponding to each of said plurality of manipulation means in said memory means;
- call means, responsive to manipulation of said manipulation means, for calling in accordance with the call information in said memory means corresponding to the manipulated manipulation means;
- generating means for generating data of the sub-address signal or the selective polling signal in accordance with the first information corresponding to the manipulated manipulation means, or generating data of the password signal in accordance with the second information corresponding to the manipulated manipulation means;
- and
- sending means for sending, to a destination station, the sub-address signal, the selective polling signal, or the password signal in accordance with the generated data.
