Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus having a variable power function. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a facsimile apparatus having a variable power function has been known. In such a facsimile apparatus, the transmission size is determined only by the original size and the magnification of the magnification. When the original is scaled and copied by such an apparatus, a magnification is specified, a recording paper size is specified, and an image of the scaled original is recorded on the specified recording paper. Like that. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, conventionally, when transmitting a scaled original image, the method of designating the transmission size is different from that in the case of copying, so that the same image as in the case of copying is transmitted. In order to transmit the data, for example, it was necessary to perform a work such as making a copy once by the above-described operation, reading the copy with the reading unit and transmitting the copy, and the work was very complicated. there were. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-described problem, and in the same operation as in the case of making a resized copy of a document, the transmitting side operator resizes the document image at a desired magnification to obtain a desired transmission size. It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of transmitting the image as an image. Means and Action for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a facsimile apparatus of the present invention is a facsimile apparatus that transmits a document image at a predetermined transmission size by a transmitting unit, and includes an arbitrary part of the document image. Instruction means for manually instructing the magnification, and designation means for designating the output size of the original image scaled by the magnification instructed by the instruction means from among the set recording papers;
Copying means for recording a document image scaled at the magnification specified by the instruction means on recording paper corresponding to the output size specified by the specification means, wherein the transmission means Similarly, the original image transmitted at the magnification designated by the instruction means before the start of communication is transmitted with the output size designated by the designation means as the transmission size. Embodiment FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of this embodiment. 1-1 is an operation unit where an operator performs input / output, 1-2 is a reading unit that can read an original after scaling it, and 1-3 is a printer unit that outputs a copy image and a received image. A plurality of paper cassettes 1-4 having different sizes are mounted. Reference numeral 1-5 denotes a communication control unit for performing communication, and reference numeral 1-6 denotes a control unit for controlling all components. FIG. 2 is a diagram of an operation panel necessary to carry out the present invention. 2-1 is an original size selection switch, 2-2 is an LED indicating the selected original size, 2-3 is a switch for selecting the magnification, 2-4 is an LED indicating the magnification, 2-5 is a paper feeding cassette. A selection switch, 2-6 is a display plate indicating the size of the original set in each sheet cassette, and 2-7 is an LED indicating the selected sheet size. 1 and 2 will be described in accordance with the flowchart of FIG. 3-1: The same size as the original is selected by the 2-1 original size selection key on the operation unit of 1-1, and it is confirmed by the LED of 2-2 whether they match. If no key input is made, the size of the original is the size of the LED. 3-2: Specify the desired magnification with the 2-3 magnification selection key on the operation unit of 1-1, and confirm with the 2-4 LED. If no key is entered, the magnification will be the LED is lit. 3-3: See the display of the paper size 2-6 on the operation unit of 1-1, adjust the desired output size with the cassette selection switch 2-5, and confirm it with the LED 2-7. If no key input is made, the cassette whose LED is lit is selected. 3-4: Since copy operation or transmission operation is performed, 1
-1 is input from the operation unit. 3-5: In the case of a copy operation, the output size is the cassette size specified in 3-3. 3-6: The reading unit of 1-2 reads at the magnification specified by 3-2, and the printer of 1-3 feeds and outputs from the cassette specified by 3-3. 3-7: Since the transmission request size is determined based on the magnification at the time of transmission, it is determined whether or not the magnification is the same. 3-8: When the same size transmission is selected, the transmission size is set to be the same as the document size. 3-9: When fixed-size variable-size transmission is selected, the transmission size is 3
The setting is the same as the cassette paper feed size specified by -3. 3-10: The image is read at the magnification specified by 3-2 from the reading unit 1-2, and transmitted from the communication control unit 1-5 at the transmission request size set in 3-8 or 3-9. As in the above-described flow, at the time of the same-size transmission, the transmission request size is selected by the document size as in a well-known facsimile.
At the time of copying, the document is output in the paper feed size in the same manner as in a well-known copy operation. Then, the transmission request size can be selected in the variable-size transmission in the same manner as in the known copy operation. In the case where not only the fixed-size magnification but also the variable-magnification reading is possible, the transmission size may not be expressed by the product of the document size and the magnification as in the related art. For example, document size A4, magnification 101%
In the case of, there may not be an appropriate transmission size. In such a case, when the transmission request size is automatically determined inside the apparatus, the transmission request size may not match the desired transmission request size. However, even when the A4 size is scaled to a size other than the standard size, transmission at a desired transmission size becomes possible by selecting the output recording paper size. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when a document image is scaled and transmitted as a desired size, an instruction of a magnification for scaling the document image and designation of a transmission size are provided. The operation can be performed by the same operation as in copying in which a document image is scaled and recorded on recording paper, so that operability can be improved.
