Abstract

A FAX-receiving-and-output device for secret information and method therefore, which comprises a first and a second information transmission channels for transmitting non-secret information and secret information respectively; the second information transmission channel includes a memory for storage of secret information, and a memory for storage of identifying code and memory address of a secret information. To transmit a secret information, the sender first inputs the identifying code of the intended recipient of that information before transmitting that secret information. An identifying module at an receiving terminal would recognize such identifying case, and the secret information will be stored in a memory. An identifying code of the intended recipient will be printed out allow the intended recipient to enter the password with a keyboard of a card scanner for configuration; if every identification is correct the secret information will be printed out so as to allow the information to be transmitted in a secured manner.
