An object of the present invention is to discriminate received information from one and same originator visually and readily. A CPU detects identification information of the originator in receiving a facsimile. It also selects identification information which coincides with the identification information detected among identification information of originators stored in a printing color table in a RAM in advance and selects a printing color corresponding to the identification information. A signal generating circuit generates an index signal which instructs to print an index mark in a selected printing color. The CPU controls an operation of a color printer so as to print the index mark in a predetermined color based on the index signal together with image information. It is possible to discriminate information transmitted from a predetermined terminal by selecting the recording sheet on which the index mark of the predetermined printing color is printed out of the mixed recording sheets. The recording sheet may be readily selected visually because the information is distinguished by the colors.

Facsimile apparatus and information printing method of facsimile apparatus

The purpose of the invention is to provide a radio-pager that allows a user to set any desired call-sign therein and method of radio-paging that not only conducts person-to-person communication but easily realizes transmission from one person to a plurality (N) of persons such as simultaneous transmission of the same message or commercial massage to a number of pagers. The pager receives radio waves by an antenna, demodulates the received signal into digital data by a radio demodulator and transfers the data to a digital circuit that corrects the data for code transmission error caused by affection of fading. A CPU of the pager examines the correctly reproduced data and extracts a call-sign from the data stream. The CPU 25 reads a call-sign stored in a RAM and examines whether the extracted call-sign corrsponds to the stored call-sign. The pager drives an electronic speaker when the CPU detects that both call-signs are identiacal with each other.
