The analog telephone interface 7 connects the facsimile machine 3 and the main control processor 4, and performs communication between the facsimile machine 3 and the office line 9 via the main control processor 4. The office line interface 8 is connected to the office line 9 and controls communication and sends and receives communication signals. The extension telephone 2n among the extension telephones 2a to 2n is a telephone capable of performing proxy transmission in place of the facsimile machine 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, if the speed dial number of Company A is "Speed 10" and the speed dial number of Company B is "Speed 11" as shown in FIG. When registering "Speed 10", the telephone number and facsimile number of the company A are registered in the area of the speed dial number "Speed 10". When registering this phone number and facsimile number, in order to use the phone number and facsimile number properly, set a condition to distinguish whether the number is a phone number or a facsimile number at the end of the phone number and facsimile number I do. For example, a symbol "#" is attached to a telephone number, and a symbol "*" is attached to a facsimile number. In this way, the same destination telephone number and facsimile number are registered for each speed dial number.

For example, when calling the company A from the extension telephone 2a, when the extension telephone 2a transmits the abbreviated dialing number "Abbreviated 10" of the company A, the main control processor 4 causes the abbreviated dialing number "Abbreviated 10" to enter the extension. It detects that the call is made from the telephone 2a, and determines that the number to be called is a telephone number. Then, the telephone number of the abbreviated dial number "Abbreviated 10" registered in the memory 5 is read, and the telephone number of the company A is dialed to the office line 9 via the office line interface 8. In addition, the company A's abbreviated dialing number “Abbreviated 1
When "0" is transmitted, the main control processor 4 detects that the abbreviated dial number "abbreviated 10" has been transmitted from the extension telephone 2n, and determines that the number to be transmitted is a facsimile number. Then, the facsimile number of the abbreviated dial number “abbreviated 10” registered in the memory 5 is read and dialed.
