Abstract

An operator depresses a voice registration key to set a voice registration mode, and registers the copy mode having been set at memory, and inputs the voice input for the copy mode registered through a microphone while depressing a voice input key, and registers the voice for the copy mode, so that a desired copy mode can be called at any time. When an operator inputs voice to call the registered copy mode while depressing the voice input key, the registered voice similar to the input voice is retrieved, and the copy mode corresponding to the voice is called from the memory and set.
