Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention changes the position of a colored reception mark marked on the header of recording paper in a facsimile machine on the receiving side so that it can be easily seen from other reception records. This invention relates to a facsimile machine that can be identified by.

[Background of the Invention] In recent years, automation of offices has progressed, and facsimile machines have become a necessity in each office as a means of quickly transmitting information, and have come to be widely used. As a result, the number of incoming calls has also increased dramatically.

In a facsimile machine, received sheets on which incoming images are recorded are stacked one by one in the same tray. The sender voluntarily added a note on the first page to sort the received paper.
The sender's name, recipient's name, and
Currently, this is done by referring to headers such as communication date and time, journal serial number, correspondent, number of communication sheets, etc.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As the use of facsimile machines becomes more popular and the number of incoming calls increases, received papers for different cases are piled up, and the task of sorting them becomes troublesome.

As a means of sorting, it has been proposed to sort by communication like a copy machine sorter, but this is difficult to realize due to high costs and increased installation space. .

Therefore, facsimile machines that have headers attached to them so that they can quickly sort received sheets loaded with multiple communications are increasingly being used.

However, it took too much time to sort through the headers of dozens of received sheets stacked on the receiving I-ray while reading them one by one.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to propose a facsimile machine that can quickly sort even a plurality of incoming papers, even tens of incoming papers, without having to read them one by one.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized in that a colored reception mark is marked on the header or trailing edge margin of the reception paper by changing its position for each communication. It is something to do.

[Function] In the embodiment, when the reception record 16 is completed, a black reception mark 15 is placed on a part of the next cut line 17 (at a different position from the previous communication). 5mm marking is made (Figure 4 (a), entrance).

In this state, the platen 3 rotates counterclockwise and stops at a position where the cut line 17 on the thermal recording paper 1 overlaps the cut line of the cutter unit 5.

Next, the movable blade 12 of the cutter unit 5 is raised by the operating mechanism 13, the thermal recording paper 1 is cut along the cut line 17, and the paper on which the reception record 16 is printed becomes the reception paper 6.

Next, the platen 3 rotates clockwise, and the leading edge of the recording paper 1 is pulled back close to the printing position on the platen 3 (with only the part marked with the reception mark 15 in the previous process protruding from the leading edge), and the next It will be in a state of waiting for communication.

Thereafter, when there is reception, a continuation of the previous reception mark 15 is marked before the specific reception record 16 is printed. At that time, the serial number is outlined in black within the reception mark 15.

Subsequently, the reception record 16 is printed.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the receiving section of the facsimile device F includes a storage case 2 in which a roll of thermal recording paper 1 is stored, a platen 3 that feeds out the thermal recording paper 1, and the thermal recording paper on the platen 3. Print on 1 and print on 1 mark head 4,
It is composed of a cutter unit 5 that cuts the thermal recording paper 1 fed out from the platen 3 at a predetermined position, and a receiving tray 7 that stacks the printed and cut receiving paper 6.

More specifically, a partition plate (not shown) is set in the storage case 2 to prevent the thermal recording paper 1 from shifting laterally.

Also, the platen 3 is connected to the rotation of the receiving motor 8 or the deceleration cap 9.
, the thermal recording paper 1 which has been decelerated and rotated counterclockwise through the two-stage carrier 10 and printed thereon is transferred to the cutter unit l =
5 side, the thermal recording paper J is then reversed and the leading edge of the thermal recording paper J cut by the cutter unit 5 is returned to the upper surface side of the platen 3.

The thermal head 4 generates heat when a predetermined pulse voltage is applied, and the thermal head 4 generates heat when a predetermined pulse voltage is applied. When it comes into contact with the recording paper 1, that part becomes black.

Further, the cutter unit 5 includes a fixed blade 11 and a movable blade 12.
It consists of a fixed blade 11 and a movable blade 1.
The thermal recording paper 1 that has passed between the receiving paper 2 and the receiving paper 6 is cut at a predetermined position to form a receiving paper 6.

The receiver J-Leer is detachably hooked to the facsimile main body 14 and stacks the received papers 6.

20 is an end mark sensor, which connects the platen 3 and the fixed blade 1.
1 and detects a black band-shaped end mark (not shown) provided on the rear end side of the thermal recording paper 1, and instructs replenishment of the thermal recording paper 1.

Next, the header 6aj of the reception sheet 6 is marked with a reception mark 15 on a black background.
The marking process will be sequentially explained with reference to FIGS. 4(a) and 7(b) to FIG. 7(a) and (b).

Figures 4(a) and 4(b) show the cut I scheduled at the rear where the current reception record 16 has been completed and the trailing edge margin 61] has been formed.
- A state in which a part (0.5 m+11) of the black receiving mark 15 is marked toward the rear from a predetermined position of the line 17 is shown.

The predetermined position where the black reception mark 15 is marked is:
For example, as shown in Figure 3, there is a system in which the number can be changed for each message. In addition, reception mark 1δ is 5mm
~30 m, and is determined as appropriate.Also, the position change may not be continuous as shown in FIG. 3, but may be intermittent.

The platen 3 rotates counterclockwise in the state shown in FIG.
The thermal recording paper 1 is fed out and stopped until the line 7 overlaps the cut line of the force/vine unit 5.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the movable blade 12 of the cutter unit 5 is raised by the operating mechanism 13i,
A thermal recording paper 1 is cut along a cut line 17.

Next, the platen 3 rotates clockwise, as shown in Fig. 6 (a).
, (b), the leading edge of the thermal recording paper 1 is pulled back to the vicinity of the printing position (within 0.5 mm) and enters a standby state. The movable blade 12 is lowered by the operating mechanism 13 prior to or before the rotation of the platen 3.

FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B) show the state before the next reception starts, a black reception mark 15 is marked on the header 6a, and the concrete reception record 16 begins.

The black reception mark 15 marked on the header 6a is marked continuously on a part of the reception mark 15 marked in FIG. 4(a) and (b).
Naka Riko's serial numbers are highlighted.

This white serial number is, for example, the communication (reception) shown in Figure 8.
It is preferable to match the serial number of the management report for the first day.

The communication management report 18 above includes the serial number, partner station name,
The start date and time, communication time, number of copies, results, and other notes are printed or written.

The reception mark 15 on the reception paper 6 is marked at the same location over all pages of the reception paper 6 for the same communication, and the mark position is sequentially changed for the next communication.

Further, the mark position of the reception mark 15 may not be on the header 6a of the reception paper 6, but may be on the trailing edge margin 6b, or may be marked before and after the cut line 17 so as to straddle it.

Furthermore, in the embodiment, the reception mark 15 was made on a black background, but
In color facsimile machines, other colors may be used and the receiving portion may have different colors.

If there is no room to insert a reception mark in the header, the reception mark may have a black edge, and the portion of the header information that overlaps with the header information may be outlined.

In short, whether it is stacked or scattered, it suffices as long as it can be identified and organized for each communication with the negative eye. In the above-mentioned embodiments, the description has been made of the case where one thermal recording paper is used, but the same applies to other methods such as thermal transfer, electrophotography, electrostatic recording, etc.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention changes the position of the reception mark I5 on a colored background, such as a black background, by one message in the header 6a or trailing edge margin 61) of the reception paper 6. By marking them, even if a large number of receiving papers 6 are stacked, they can be easily sorted by one communication (-), and even if they are mixed by mistake, they can be found at a glance. It is also extremely useful for subsequent filing and storage.
