Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a communication control device and a facsimile machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile apparatus equipped with a communication control device, when a line disconnection occurs due to a transmission error, a redial is performed again to transmit a document that could not be transmitted under the same communication conditions. there were. Therefore, even if a transmission error occurs due to the communication speed at the time of transmission, no attempt is made to resolve the cause of the transmission error, and only retransmission is attempted under the same communication conditions as when the transmission error occurred. However, the transmission error has not been solved further, and only the same transmission error has been repeated.

In order to solve such a problem, there has conventionally been a method using a means of disabling high-speed communication. However, since this is uniformly switched to low-speed communication, transmission is performed even in high-speed communication. There is a problem that communication efficiency is degraded because transmission is slowed down to a destination where no error occurs.

[0004] On the other hand, even when a line disconnection due to a reception error occurs, reception is resumed from the point where the reception error occurred under the same conditions as before the occurrence of the reception error. Therefore, even if the reception error is caused by the communication speed, the receiver only attempts to resume reception at the same communication speed as when the reception error occurred. Was only repeated.

Conventionally, there has been a method using a means of disabling high-speed communication. However, similarly to transmission, reception from a partner in which no reception error occurs even in high-speed communication is performed. However, there is a problem that the communication efficiency is deteriorated because the handling is performed uniformly.

Conventionally, in a facsimile apparatus to which an external telephone having an automatic answering function is connected, even if the communication from the other party is facsimile transmission, the communication is normally received by the external telephone first and the normal facsimile is received. Cannot receive. On the other hand, if the communication from the other party is a telephone call, the facsimile machine sometimes responds.

As described above, in the conventional apparatus, switching between telephone and facsimile adapted to the destination of communication cannot be performed instantaneously, and it takes a certain amount of time to switch the communication means optimally.

Further, in the conventional facsimile apparatus, the original document reduced and printed to the transmission result error report is only the first page (almost cover) set first.
Therefore, in the case of a plurality of originals, it is impossible to know what kind of original the original is by only outputting a report of only one page.

In the conventional facsimile apparatus, a printing unit is provided in the scanner unit as a unit for confirming that a transmission original has passed through a scanner unit for reading the original to confirm a transmission error. The configuration is such that a "done" mark is printed on the back side of the transmission original. Therefore, in the conventional apparatus, not only the transmitted document becomes dirty,
In some cases, ink adhered to the original may stain the original transport rollers of the scanner unit. Thereafter, since the originals are successively conveyed to the contaminated original conveying rollers, there is a possibility that other originals may become dirty. There is also a problem that it is not possible to confirm whether or not the image information of the transmission original has been stored in the storage unit in the apparatus.

[0010]
