The reading unit 10 binarizes the read image data to obtain raw data, and also performs scaling processing such as reduction and enlargement when reading a document, and linear density conversion. Next, the function of the facsimile apparatus having the above configuration will be specifically described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 1 and the flowcharts shown in FIG. In the flowcharts shown in FIG. 2 and subsequent figures, step is abbreviated as S.

In the facsimile apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the system control unit 3 reads a predetermined processing program stored in the ROM, and the components such as the communication control unit 7 and the NCU unit 8 are arranged according to the flowchart shown in FIG. By operating the elements, each function described later is realized. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a basic operation procedure of the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention when the operator selects a telephone company to use and performs facsimile transmission. First, when the operator selects "transmission processing" on a menu screen (not shown), the facsimile apparatus detects, by the system control unit 3, the set state of the document on which the image information to be transmitted is recorded. Here, when the document is set on the reading unit 10, a signal indicating that is output from the reading unit 10, and the system control unit 3 detects this signal, and the system control unit 3 determines that the document is set. Judge and execute subsequent processing.

Here, when the operator selects a telephone company to be used for facsimile transmission, the original to be transmitted by the operator is set in the reading unit 10 of the facsimile apparatus in the above-described manner and then used. The telephone company's identification number and the recipient's facsimile number (destination number) are input by operating the operation keys 1a of the operation unit 1. The system control unit 3 receives the input of the identification number and the destination number, and executes the processing in step 1.
Proceed to. Here, when the operator inputs the start key button of the operation unit 1, the process proceeds to step 2 and the communication control unit 7 sets N
The CU unit 8 is controlled to close the line of the NCU unit 8. Then, the process proceeds to step 3, the dial tone is detected to detect the state of the line, and if the dial tone cannot be detected and the tone is busy, the process proceeds to step 9.
The communication control unit 7 is instructed to control the NCU unit 8 to disconnect the line, and the process ends. When the dial tone can be detected, the process proceeds to step 4, and the call is made with the input destination number. It is assumed that the call is made by DP or PB contracted at the time of line contract, and this setting is predetermined, and is made when the facsimile apparatus is installed (line connection).

On the other hand, the exchange (not shown) operates as follows in response to the call made by the above facsimile apparatus.
That is, the exchange judges whether the received identification number corresponds to the telephone company of the registered telephone company fixed service, and if not, the identification number of the registered telephone company. The fixed repainting notification signal is output to the facsimile machine of the transmission source to perform the fixed repainting notification (the fixed repainting notification sound of about 0.2 seconds is sent). When the facsimile device proceeds to step 5 after calling in step 4, the communication control unit 7 determines whether or not the fixed repainting notification signal from the exchange is detected (presence or absence of the fixed repainting notification). When it is determined that the communication control unit 7 has detected, the process proceeds to step 6, the information to that effect (fixed repainting notification information) is output and input to the system control unit 3, and the process proceeds to subsequent step 7. If it is not determined that the detection has been made, the process directly proceeds to step 7. In step 7, the communication control unit 7 judges whether or not the CED signal is detected, and if it is not detected, the process returns to step 5, and if it is detected, the process proceeds to step 8. When the process proceeds to step 8, normal facsimile communication operation is performed. Also, when the fixed repainting notification signal is not detected and the CED signal is detected, the routine proceeds to step 8 and the normal facsimile communication operation is executed.

Next, the operation procedure after the system controller 3 detects the detection of the fixed repainting notification signal by the communication controller 7 will be described below. [First Operation] Here, the operation of the facsimile apparatus by the fixed repainting notification detection function will be described. This function is valid when the contract of the line to which the facsimile machine is connected is the telephone company fixed service. That is, an identification number is entered during facsimile transmission, and the fixed repainting notification signal sent when the entered identification number of the telephone company is different from the registered identification number of the telephone company is sent to the facsimile device of the transmission destination. By detecting just before sending the call signal, another telephone company registered with the telephone company fixed service is selected instead of the specified telephone company,
This is a function for displaying information indicating that the transmission was not performed by the specified telephone company (hereinafter referred to as "registered telephone company selection information"). This function is mainly performed by the system control unit 3
Is realized as follows. That is, when the system control unit 3 determines that the fixed repainting notification signal is input from the communication control unit 7 and the fixed repainting notification signal is detected by the communication control unit 7, the system control unit 3 controls the display / notification unit 2 to register the telephone. The company selection information is displayed, and a message as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display panel 2a. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a message displayed on the display panel 2a. As shown in FIG. 4, the display panel 2a displays “May 29, 2001.
In the facsimile transmitted at 14:14, the specified telephone company was not selected, and the telephone company with the fixed service contract of the telephone company was selected. ”Is displayed.

With this function, the above-mentioned message is displayed on the display / notification unit 2 of the facsimile apparatus, so that the operator selects another telephone company registered by the telephone company fixed service instead of the telephone company specified by himself. You can know what was done. [Second Operation] Next, as a second operation, a transmission report generation function with a fixed repainting notification (hereinafter referred to as “report generation function”)
The operation of the facsimile machine according to the above) will be described. When the above-described first operation is executed by the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, for example, when the memory transmission function of the facsimile apparatus is used, the image information read is temporarily stored in the memory during the memory transmission (or (While accumulating) move to calling operation. When the operator scans the required facsimile transmission document, the operator leaves the facsimile apparatus. Therefore, even if the operator selects the registered telephone company to display the selection information as described above on the display / operation unit 2, the content is transmitted to the operator. May not be.

In order to solve such a drawback, the report generation function generates and outputs a report when the fixed repainting notification signal is detected so that the operator can be notified of the selection of the registered telephone company. It is a function and is mainly realized by the system control unit 3 as follows. That is, when the system control unit 3 receives the fixed repainting notification information from the communication control unit 7 and determines that the fixed repainting notification signal is detected by the communication control unit 7, the system control unit 3 finishes the facsimile transmission (write also during transmission). The selection information of the registered telephone company is input to the writing unit 9 to cause the writing unit 9 to print it on paper when the unit 9 operates (while transmitting), and the writing unit 9 outputs a report. The report output at this time is, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 5, the output report includes the title and "The following facsimile transmission could not be sent using the specified telephone company. Because it was sent using the telephone company with a fixed telephone number service contract. , In order to cancel it, you need to add the cancellation code "122" and enter the number. Message, date and time, designated telephone company + destination number and FILE No. are displayed. Therefore,
By referring to this report, the operator can know that another telephone company registered by the telephone company fixed service is selected instead of the telephone company specified by himself, even after the transmission process is completed.

[Third Operation] Next, as a third operation,
The operation of the facsimile machine using the report generation function will be described. When the second operation described above is executed by the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, the operator can know the selection of the registered telephone company by the report output even after the transmission processing is completed. However, if the report output is performed for each transmission process, the operating power required for the paper and the report output may be wasted. In order to solve such a defect, the report generation function in the third operation is configured to display and output a list of the report generation function in the second operation when a plurality of transmissions (one page of report) are executed. It is realized mainly by the system control unit 3 as follows.

That is, when the system controller 3 receives the fixed repainting notification information from the communication controller 7 and determines that the fixed repainting notification signal is detected by the communication controller 7, the system controller 3 logs the selection information of the registered telephone company. The data is recorded in a storage unit (RAM) (not shown) in the facsimile machine. Then, when the log data recorded in the RAM is accumulated in a predetermined amount (for example, one page of the report), the system control unit 3 inputs the stored log data to the writing unit 9 and prints the paper. And the report is output from the writing unit 9. The report output at this time is, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of details corresponding to each transmission process are displayed in the output report, and the details of the selection information of the registered telephone company are collectively displayed for each page. The operating power required for report output will not be wasted.

[Fourth Operation] Next, as the fourth operation,
The operation of the facsimile machine using the report generation function will be described. When the third operation described above is executed by the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, the report is not output until the predetermined amount of log data is accumulated, so that the facsimile transmission by the registered telephone company instead of the designated telephone company is performed. If the number is small, the time interval for outputting the report becomes long, and the contents of the selection information of the registered telephone company cannot be known in a timely manner. In order to solve such a drawback, the report generating function in the fourth operation is configured to execute the report generating function in the second operation when a plurality of transmissions are performed. It is realized as follows. That is, when the system control unit 3 determines that the fixed repainting notification information is input from the communication control unit 7 and the fixed repainting notification signal is detected by the communication control unit 7, the system control unit 3 uses the selection information of the registered telephone company as the log data to facsimile. It is recorded in a storage means (RAM) (not shown) in the device. Then, the log data accumulated in the RAM is input to the writing unit 9 for printing every predetermined time, and is printed on a sheet, and the writing unit 9 outputs a report.

The report output at this time is, for example,
It is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, in the output report, details corresponding to each transmission process are collectively displayed on one page, and this report is output at regular time intervals. You can know the contents of your choice in a timely manner. [Fifth Operation] Next, as a fifth operation, an operation of the facsimile apparatus using the performance display function of the fixed repainting notification will be described. When the first to fourth operations described above are executed by the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, when the operator selects a telephone company at the time of facsimile transmission, the operator can know that the registered telephone company has been selected by displaying / notifying. The operator may not be able to know the selection information of the registered telephone company in real time because the operator has to wait for the display of the selection information of the registered telephone company by the unit 2 or the output of the report by the writing unit 9. The fifth operation is based on the fixed repainting notification result display function provided to solve such a drawback, and is mainly performed by the system control unit 3 in accordance with the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. Is realized in this way.

First, after executing step 1 as described above,
When the identification number is present, the system control unit 3 operates to determine whether or not the identification number is the identification number for which the fixed repainting notification has been issued before (step S10). The presence / absence) is determined, and if it is determined that there is a fixed repainting notification record, the process proceeds to step 11, and if not, the process proceeds to step 2 and the process is continued as in FIG. If you proceed to step 11, there was a fixed repainting notification by that identification number (there was a fixed repainting notification record).
Alternatively, information indicating that the telephone company specified this time cannot be transmitted (hereinafter referred to as “fixed repainting notification record information”) is displayed on the display / notification unit 2 and the process proceeds to step 2 to continue the process as in FIG. . As described above, the fixed repainting notification performance display function can notify the operator that the specified telephone company is not selected before sending the fax, so the operator can enter the recipient number. In doing so, it is possible to know in real time that the registered telephone company has been selected even if there is no report output by the above-mentioned functions.

[Sixth Operation] Next, as a sixth operation,
The operation of the facsimile apparatus by the transmission interruption and the transmission interruption selection function will be described. When the above-mentioned fifth operation is executed by the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, the display / notification unit 2 is displayed to notify the operator that the designated telephone company is not selected. However, even if the operator wants to specify the telephone company, he / she cannot input the identification number in order to interrupt the transmission operation and select (reselect) the telephone company again. The sixth operation is due to the transmission interruption and transmission interruption selection functions provided to solve such a drawback, and is realized according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, after executing step 1 in the above-described manner, the process proceeds to step 10, and the system control unit 3 operates in the above-described manner to determine whether or not there is a fixed repainting notification record of the identification number, and there is a fixed repainting notification record. If it is determined that step 12
If not, proceed to step 2 to continue the process as in FIG. When the process proceeds to step 12, a message asking whether or not transmission can be continued is displayed on the display / notification unit 2 together with the fixed repainting notification record information, and the process proceeds to step 13. In step 13, when the operator judges from the displayed message whether or not the transmission can be continued and inputs the result on the operation unit 1,
The system control unit 3 determines whether or not the transmission can be continued based on the information input at that time. If the transmission is continued, the process proceeds to step 3 and the process is continued in the same manner as in FIG. 2 to perform the transmission by the registered telephone company. If it is not continued, the process returns to step 1 and the transmission by the registered telephone company is interrupted.

In this way, when the input identification number has the fixed repainting notification result by the transmission interruption and the transmission interruption selecting function, the fixed repainting notification result information is displayed / notified by the display / notification unit 2 before the facsimile transmission. Since it is displayed on the screen and the operator can select whether or not to continue transmission, it is possible to select whether to continue the facsimile transmission or enter the identification number to select the telephone company again (correct the identification number). Becomes [Seventh Operation] Next, as a seventh operation, an operation of the facsimile apparatus by the release code adding function will be described. When the sixth operation described above is executed by the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, the display / notification unit 2 is notified that the designated telephone company is not selected, and the operator can select whether or not to continue transmission. However, there is an inconvenience that the operator has to re-enter the identification number for selecting the specified telephone company in order to communicate with the specified telephone company.

The seventh operation is based on the release code addition function provided to solve such a drawback, and is realized according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, after executing step 1 in the above-described manner, the process proceeds to step 10, and the system control unit 3 operates in the above-described manner to determine whether or not there is a fixed repainting notification record of the identification number, and there is a fixed repainting notification record. If it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 14, otherwise, the process proceeds to step 2 to continue the process as in FIG. Proceeding to step 14, with the fixed repainting notification information, a message for instructing the operator to either continue the transmission or add a cancellation code (whether to perform facsimile transmission by the specified telephone company with the cancellation code added) Is displayed on the display / notification unit 2 and the process proceeds to step 15. In this case, when the operator inputs either an instruction to continue transmission from the displayed message or an addition of a cancellation code on the operation unit 1, the system control unit 3 determines from the information input at that time to continue transmission. Goes to step 2 and the processing is continued in the same manner as in FIG. 2 to perform transmission by the registered telephone company. Step 16 if the release code is added
Then, the system control section 3 executes a process of adding the service release code “122” before the input identification number and destination number, and proceeds to step 2. Then, by adding the service cancellation code "122", the telephone company transmits the identification number input in the form where the telephone company fixed service is canceled.

As described above, when the inputted identification number is the identification number with the fixed repainting notice, the operator is notified that the designated telephone company is not selected by the cancellation code addition function. However, the operator can select whether to continue the transmission or to add the release code “122” to the input identification number and transmit the same. Therefore, the operator can select whether to continue facsimile transmission or add a cancellation code and use the selected telephone company to perform facsimile transmission.Even when using the selected telephone company, the already entered identification number Since it is used by adding the cancellation code, the facsimile transmission can be performed without re-inputting (correcting) the identification number.

[0030]

As described above, the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention allows the operator to register by the telephone company fixed service instead of the telephone company designated by the operator by the message or report displayed on the display / notification section. Since it is possible to know that another telephone company has been selected, facsimile communication using the My Line service and the telephone company fixed service can be easily performed.
