Abstract
Upon receiving a command for changing a target facsimile machine (Yes in S103), the present facsimile machine 1 receives the new forwarding number (S105-S108). The present facsimile machine 1 changes a forwarding number stored in the EEPROM 18 to the newly inputted forwarding number. Then, the present facsimile machine 1 starts receiving incoming image information from remote facsimile machines (S111) and stores them into the RAM 16. Upon receiving a command for transmission of a status list (Yes in S113), the present facsimile machine 1 produces a status list indicating the newly-stored forwarding number (S115). Then, the present facsimile machine 1 transmits the status list to a remote facsimile machine which has transmitted the status list transmission command. The user existing at that remote facsimile machine visually confirms the newly-stored forwarding number appearing on the status list, and transmits a transmission start command to the present facsimile machine 1. Upon receiving the transmission start command (Yes in S117), the present facsimile machine 1 starts transmitting the image information presently stored in the RAM 16 (S119).
