Abstract
A facsimile machine including a first facsimile-data receiver including a connector connectable to an external computer for receiving, from the computer, facsimile data including image data representing an image, and receiver-designating data designating a second facsimile-data receiver to which the facsimile data are transmitted, a facsimile-data transmitter which transmits the facsimile data to the second facsimile-data receiver designated by the receiver-designating data, a recorder which records, on a recording medium, the image represented by the image data of the facsimile data, a memory which stores self-designating data designating the first facsimile-data receiver, the receiver-designating data and the self-designating data being of same kind of data as each other, so that the receiver-designating data are comparable with the self-designating data, and a control device which controls the recorder to record the image represented by the image data when the receiver-designating data are identical with the self-designating data, and does not control the recorder to record the image when the receiver-designating data are not identical with the self-designating data.
