[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional device of this type, as shown in FIG. 4, includes a network control unit (NCU) 1, a modem 2, a code
It has a decoding unit 3, an image reading unit 4, an image recording unit 5, an operation panel 6, a destination storage unit 7 for registering destinations, and a central control unit (CPU) 8 and is designated by the operation panel 6. The dial number of the specified destination is read from the destination storage unit 7,
By making an automatic transmission by this read dial number, image information was automatically transmitted to an arbitrary destination by a shortened operation (for example, published by the Institute of Electronics and Communication Engineers of Japan. "Basics and Applications of New Version of Facsimile," edited by Haruhiko Yasuda, published September 10, 1982, p.262, 263).

In this case, the operation panel 6 has a plurality of destination selection switches 61 arranged as shown in FIG. At the same time, a destination display label portion 62 for supporting the destination selection operation is arranged.

The destination display label portion 62 is for displaying a destination name 63 selected for each switch 61, and the destination name 63 can be arbitrarily written by a user (user) on a predetermined destination sheet. There is.

[0004]

However, according to such a configuration, the work of newly registering or changing the registration of the destination is troublesome, and the display of the destination name is likely to be incorrect.
There was a problem.

The above problem occurs for the following reasons. That is, the user must write the name of the registered destination in a predetermined position of the destination display label portion 62 by handwriting every time the destination is registered, whether new or updated. . Since the space of the entry column is restricted by the arrangement pitch of the switches 61 and the like, the entry work was very troublesome. The correction of the address name once entered was also very troublesome because only the corrected part had to be erased cleanly. Even when the address registration is partially corrected or changed, it is often necessary to re-enter the entire case carefully from the beginning to prevent misidentification. If the way of entry is rough or the correction is not performed properly, the display of the destination name is difficult to see, and it is easy to cause a mistake in the destination. If the facsimile machine makes a mistake in the transmission destination, important confidential information will flow to a third party, causing serious damage.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and reduces the work of newly registering or changing the registration of a destination without complicating or enlarging the configuration, and displaying the destination name incorrectly. An object of the present invention is to provide an image communication device capable of surely preventing the above.
