Abstract
A facsimile device stores a list of a caller ID (i.e., telephone number of the calling station) and a signal reception procedure to be used for receiving signal transmitted from the calling station. If the signal reception procedure on the list does not correspond to the transmitted signal, an appropriate reception procedure is determined based on the transmitted signal, and the list is updated. The updated list is used for the next calling from the calling station. If the calling station is not on the list, the signal reception procedure is determined based on the transmitted signal, and the telephone number and corresponding reception procedure is registered in the list.
