Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus having a destination registration function or a source registration function, and more particularly to a facsimile apparatus capable of outputting received image information so that it does not stick out from a recording sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a facsimile apparatus which does not have a function of detecting the DLT width of a transmission document (length in the longitudinal direction of a letter size document), the D
The LT width is detected as the A3 width (the shorter length of the A3 size original document), and the transmission is always performed as the A3 width. At this time, the margin increases in the width direction by the difference between the A3 width and the DLT width, but the center reference scanner (image reading device)
In the case of the corner-based scanner, the increased margin is divided substantially evenly into the left and right, and the increased margin is arranged on either the left side or the right side. On the other hand, in the facsimile apparatus which receives this image information, when the output to the recording paper of A3 width is possible, it is output to the recording paper of A3 width, but the output to the recording paper of A3 width is impossible and the DLT width of When it is possible to output to recording paper, it is output to recording paper of DLT width. FIG. 12 shows an example of such a facsimile transmission. For example, a domestic transmission side facsimile device (transmitter) capable of reading an A3 width original document reads a center-referenced DLT width original document and receives it as A3 width image information from overseas. It shows the case where the data is transmitted to the facsimile machine (receiver) on the side and is output to the DLT width recording paper on the reception side with reference to the center.

[0003]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As shown in the example of FIG.
When the sending side scans the center-referenced DLT width original document and the receiving side outputs to the DLT width recording paper based on the center reference, the received image information is just accommodated on the receiving-side letter size (DLT width) recording paper. Therefore, the problem that the edge of the received image information is missing does not occur. However, as shown in FIG. 13, for example, when the transmitting side is the corner reference and the receiving side is the center reference, the image output to the recording paper of the letter size (DLT width) on the receiving side is missing by 9 mm from the edge. As a method for solving such a problem, it is conceivable that the receiver side shifts the received image information by 9 mm when outputting to DLT width recording paper, but when the transmitter side is the center standard In Figure 14
As shown in, the received image information is lost by 9 mm from the end opposite to the above. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and prevent the received image information from protruding from the recording paper even if the reading standard of the transmitting side facsimile device and the printing standard of the receiving side facsimile device are different. It is to provide a facsimile machine that can output.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this facsimile machine has a control unit 1 for managing and controlling the entire machine according to a built-in program, a keyboard for an operator to give instructions to the facsimile machine, and a facsimile machine for giving a message etc. to the operator.

A print standard acquisition unit for acquiring the print standard of the destination facsimile machine, and an image information arrangement for arranging the image information to be transmitted at a position (address) on the memory according to the print standard acquired by the print standard acquisition unit. Have means, etc. The destination registration means, the print reference acquisition means, and the image information arrangement means are composed of a CPU and a ROM containing a program and data to be supplied to the CPU.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a document window portion of the document mounting table of the scanner 4. As shown in the figure, the document placing table of this embodiment includes size sensors P (P1 to P7) for detecting the document size. In FIG. 2, the solid line shown in the document window 12a shows the placement state of A3, A4, B4 and B5 size documents, and the dotted line shows the placement state of each letter size document. In addition, T added to the code indicating the size means vertical (direction in which the longitudinal direction of the document coincides with the document transport direction indicated by arrow D in the drawing), and Y means horizontal. Further, the A3 size and the B4 size are placed only vertically.

As is apparent from FIG. 2, the original is placed on one or a plurality of size sensors P.
Since the combination of the size sensor P below the document differs depending on the document size and the placement direction, the size and placement direction of the placed document can be detected. In this example, A3
The size (A3 width) and the DLT size (DLT width) cannot be distinguished. Further, the reading standard in the case of the configuration as shown in FIG. 2 is the corner standard.

FIG. 3 shows a main part of the operation display unit 2. As shown in the figure, the operation display unit 2 of this embodiment is provided with a numeric keypad 1.
3, a display unit 14, a shortening key 15, a start key 16 and the like. When transmitting a facsimile with such a facsimile apparatus, first, the image information is read into the RAM 3 by the scanner 4 under the control of the control unit 1. The image information is encoded by the DCR 8 and stored in the RAM 3 or the image memory 10. Further, the control unit 1 obtains the call-time designation information such as the destination designated by the operation display unit 2, and the NCU 6 to which the destination information is passed sets up a call with the designated destination. Then, the communication control unit 7 executes the phase B via the low-speed modem, and eventually the phase C is executed.
Then, the encoded image information data in the RAM 3 or the image memory 10 is modulated by the high speed modem in the modem 9 and sent out via the NCU 6.

At the time of reception, after the call is set up by the NCU 6, the phase B is entered, predetermined communication is performed via the low-speed modem, the phase C is entered, and the encoded image information data is received. The image information data is stored in the RAM 3 via the NCU 6 and the communication control unit 7, further decoded by the DCR 8, and output to the plotter 5 via the RAM 3 or accumulated in the image memory 10.

Next, the operation of the facsimile apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Prior to this operation flow, the printing reference associated with the destination information (terminal number) as shown in FIG.
It is assumed to be registered in the destination registration table in the above.
The information "corner standard" or "center standard" shown in the print standard field of FIG. 5 is the print standard of the facsimile apparatus of the corresponding terminal number. In FIG. 5, the print standard is shown by a Japanese character string for easy understanding, but in reality, the center standard is set to “0” and the corner standard is set to “1”.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when registering by assigning the terminal number of the transmission destination and the printing standard to each speed dial, the user selects the transmission destination registration according to the menu displayed on the display unit 14. Then, the transmission destination registration means displays a message requesting the input of the transmission destination terminal number to be assigned to each speed dial and the printing standard on the display unit 14, so that the user first presses the speed reduction key 15 and then Register in the order of speed dial, terminal number, and printing standard for each speed dial. It should be noted that the printing standard is previously acquired from the user of the transmission destination by another communication means (for example, a telephone). If the destination facsimile machine is capable of printing A3 size, it is not necessary to register the printing standard (the speed dial 01 in FIG. 5 is such an example). The above registration is performed in advance, and when transmitting, the destination is instructed (selected) by, for example, the speed dial method (step S).
1). In other words, the user presses the shortening key 15,
Then, a two-digit speed dial number is input by the ten keys 13. It is also possible to specify the destination by a one-touch method or the like.

Upon acquiring the input speed dial number, the printing standard acquisition means searches the destination registration table (step S2), and acquires the destination terminal number and the printing standard assigned to the speed dial number. Then, the destination terminal number is stored in a predetermined area in the parameter memory 11, and the print reference is passed to the image information arranging means. If the printing standard is not registered in the transmission destination registration table, the transmission destination terminal number is simply stored in the parameter memory 11. Upon obtaining the printing standard, the image information arranging unit determines whether the printing standard is the center standard or the corner standard, and calculates the memory address of the RAM 3 in which the read image information is arranged according to the standard (step S3). ). In the case of the facsimile apparatus according to this embodiment, since the corner reference is used as described above, if the destination print reference is the corner reference, the memory address is a preset predetermined address. On the other hand, if the printing standard of the destination is the center standard, the placement start address of the read image information of each line is, for example, 9 mm (see FIG. 13).
(See reference), and the shift is made by an amount corresponding to the address (refer to the circle portion A on the transmission side in FIG. 13 as a reference corner and the beginning of the first line). The address difference (1/8 of the number of pixels) corresponding to this 9 mm may be calculated in advance and this value may be registered in the print reference field of the destination registration table. In other words, instead of registering "0" for center reference, register an address difference equivalent to 9 mm, and for corner reference, register "1" instead of "0" (no address difference).
And register.

Subsequently, when the image reading by the scanner 4 is started under the control of the control unit 1 (step S
4), the image information arrangement means arranges (stores) the image information passed from the scanner 4 at the address calculated in the RAM 3 as described above. Then, while sequentially arranging the image information of each line, the image storage means reads the image information in order from the head portion, compresses (encodes) it with the DCR 8, and stores it in the image memory 10 (step S5). finish.
The head of the read address at the time of compression is the predetermined address (the head address in the case of the corner standard) regardless of whether the printing standard is the center standard or the corner standard. Therefore, in the case of the center reference, 9 mm of "white" information is read and compressed as the pixel information of the head of each line. After exiting this operation flow, the parameter memory 1
The transmission of the terminal number stored in the predetermined area of 1 to the facsimile apparatus is executed by the communication control unit 7. At this time, the compressed image information accumulated in the image memory 10 is transferred to the communication control unit 7.
Is passed to. In step S5, the compressed image information may be passed to the communication control unit 7 and directly transmitted without being stored in the image memory 10.

FIG. 6 shows another data configuration example of the transmission destination registration table. This is because, for example, it is better to shift the image placement position due to the difference in the size of the document placement table or the difference in reading performance even if both the sending side and the receiving side are corner-based, or both receiving sides are center-based. However, the data structure in the case where it is better to shift the image arrangement position for the same reason as above is shown. In other words, even if the destination is a corner reference, the start position of each line is not the same, and the center reference does not always shift by 9 mm, but only the address difference corresponding to the correction length corresponding to each destination. Try to move it.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment as well, the hardware configuration of the facsimile apparatus is the same as that in the first embodiment. FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the operation contents in the second embodiment of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention. First, the destination instruction is given by the speed dial number (step S11),
The acquired speed dial number is stored in a predetermined area of the parameter memory 11. Then, the reading of the original image is started (step S12), and the read image information is arranged (stored) in the RAM 3 in accordance with the corner reference which is the reading reference of the scanner 4 regardless of the printing reference of the transmission destination. , The image storage means D stores the image information arranged in this way.
The image data is compressed by CR8 and stored in the image memory 10 (step S13). Then, the control unit 1 starts the transmission process (step S14), and the print reference acquisition unit acquires the speed dial stored in the parameter memory 11 and transmits it in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The destination terminal number and the printing standard are acquired (step S15). Then, the print standard acquisition unit stores the destination terminal number in a predetermined area of the parameter memory 11, and the image information arrangement unit that has acquired the print standard from the print standard acquisition unit is the same as in the first embodiment according to the print standard. Similarly, the arrangement position of the image information is calculated (step S16). Further, the image information arranging means reads out the compressed image information from the image memory 10 and expands (decodes) it by the DCR 8 (step S1).
7) The expanded image information is arranged at the calculated arrangement position in the RAM 3 (step S18). After that, the image information arranged with the predetermined address determined as the head address of each line (the same address as the corner reference before the white pixel information for 9 mm is added in the case of the center reference) is read out, and the DCR8 is used. Compress (encode) (step S1
9), and transmits to the destination of the terminal number stored in the parameter memory 11 (step S20). As described above, in the first and second embodiments, the image information is arranged in one transmission image information area according to the printing standard of the transmission destination, and then all the information in the transmission image information area is compressed. Since the DLT width image information sent as the A3 width image information is expanded on the receiving side and directly output to the recording paper having the DLT width, the image does not run off the recording paper.

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.
3 is a flowchart showing the operation contents of the facsimile apparatus of the embodiment. Also in this embodiment, the hardware has the same configuration as that of FIG. 1, and the control unit 1 registers whether the arrangement reference of the image information transmitted in association with the transmission source information is the center reference or the corner reference. Source registration means, transmission source extraction means for extracting transmission source information from a received signal, and arrangement criteria associated with the extracted transmission source information obtained from registration information registered by the transmission source registration means. Arrangement standard acquisition means, and within the recording paper (in page) of the received image information according to the acquired arrangement standard
It has an output image information arrangement means for performing arrangement. The above-mentioned transmission source registration means, transmission source extraction means, placement reference acquisition means,
The output image information arranging means is composed of a CPU and a ROM containing a program.

In the third embodiment, the transmission source registration means stores the transmission source registration table registered as shown in FIG. 9 in the parameter memory 11. Figure 9
It is shown that the facsimile machine of each registered transmission source terminal number arranges and transmits the in-page image information according to the arrangement standard as shown in association with each terminal number. Generally, the arrangement reference and the reading reference are the same. For example, in a facsimile apparatus in which the reading reference is the corner reference, the image information is transmitted as it is in the corner reference arrangement. Since the registration method is similar to the registration method in the transmission destination registration table shown in the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

The operation of the facsimile apparatus according to the third embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, following an incoming call, the communication control unit 7 executes a receiving process according to the procedure of the G3 transmission control procedure phase B (step S21). Then, when the transmission source terminal number is sent by a predetermined signal of the phase B, for example, the CIG signal, the transmission source extraction means acquires the CIG signal from the communication control unit 7 and extracts the transmission source terminal number (step S2
2) Store it in a predetermined area in the parameter memory 11. When the image information is sent in the phase C, the control unit 1 stores the image information in the image memory 10 (step S23).

After the reception of the image information or without waiting for the reception of the image information, the control section 1 starts the output of the received image information to the recording paper (step S24). The received image information has an A3 width, for example, but since this facsimile device cannot output to A3 width recording paper, it is assumed to output to DLT width recording paper. Then, the control unit 1 instructs the arrangement reference acquisition means to acquire the arrangement reference of the image information sent.
That is, the arrangement reference acquisition means acquires the transmission source terminal number stored in the predetermined area in the parameter memory 11,
The placement reference corresponding to the source terminal number is acquired by searching the source registration table (step S2).
5).

When this arrangement standard is passed to the output image information arranging means, the output image information arranging means outputs the stored received image information in the RAM 3 depending on whether the arrangement standard of the received image information is the center reference or the corner reference. An address for arranging in the image information area (corresponding to the recording paper) is calculated (step S26). For example, if this receiving side facsimile apparatus is the center reference and the arrangement reference of the received image information is also the center reference, the received image information is expanded by the DCR8, and the image information of each line is sequentially arranged according to a predetermined address. On the other hand, if the received image information is the corner reference, DLT
Since the output image information extends to the left of the width of the recording paper (the head of the line), the address difference of 9 mm is added to the above-mentioned predetermined address so that the head of each line is shifted to the right by 9 mm, for example. The image information of each line is arranged at the address (step S27).

Thereafter, the plotter 5 outputs the received image information arranged (developed) in the RAM 3 to the recording paper (step S28). However, as described above, the received image information is output from the RAM 3 according to the arrangement standard of the received image information. Since the image information is arranged in the image information area, the image does not extend outside the width of the recording paper. It should be noted that the transmission source registration table is configured as shown in FIG. 10, and even if the transmitting and receiving sides are the same center reference, there is a difference between the arrangement of the received image information and the arrangement on the recording paper, or there are a plurality of destinations. Similarly, even when the corner reference is used, it is possible to deal with the case where the arrangement of the received image information is different.

[Fourth Embodiment] Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, the control unit 1 compresses the image information arranged in the output image information area by the output image information arranging means by the DCR 8 and accumulates the image information in the image memory 10. Have means. The image storage means is composed of a CPU and a ROM containing a program. Less than,
The operation of the facsimile apparatus according to the fourth embodiment will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Steps S31 and S32 of FIG. 11 are the same as steps S21 and S22 of the operation flow (FIG. 8) in the third embodiment.

Subsequently, in step S33, the placement reference acquisition means searches the sender registration table with the obtained sender terminal number, and obtains the placement reference corresponding to the sender terminal number. Then, the output image information arranging means, to which the arrangement standard is passed, calculates the address in the RAM 3 where the received image information is arranged (same as S26) (step S4).

Subsequently, when the image information is received in the phase C, the output image information arranging means expands (decodes) the image information received by the DCR 8 and outputs the expanded image information in the RAM 3 according to the calculated address. It is arranged in the information area (step S35). Then, the image information storage means compresses the image information arranged in the output image information area by the DCR 8 and stores it in the image memory 10 (step S36).
This operation flow ends. After that, the image information stored in the image memory 10 is read out, decompressed by the DCR 8 and output to the recording paper in the same manner as in the conventional technique.
In the fourth embodiment, the arrangement processing for correcting the difference between the arrangement of the received image information and the printing reference of the plotter is not performed at the time of outputting to the recording paper as described above, but when the image is already stored in the image memory 10. Since such arrangement processing is performed, the output image does not run off the recording paper.

[0027]

As described above, the present invention exhibits the following excellent effects. In the facsimile apparatus according to the first and second aspects, since the page arrangement of the image information transmitted to the facsimile apparatus on the other side is performed in accordance with the printing standard of the facsimile apparatus on the other side, for example, a letter-sized document is printed on a wider page. Even if it is sent as, the output can be made without sticking out on a recording paper of the same size as the original regardless of the consistency between the reading standard of the transmitting facsimile machine and the printing standard of the receiving facsimile machine.

Further, in the facsimile apparatus according to the third and fourth aspects, even if the arrangement of the image information sent from the partner facsimile apparatus in the page does not meet the printing standard, the image is arranged so as to meet the printing standard. Since information can be rearranged within a page, similarly, even if a letter-sized original is sent as a wider page, regardless of the consistency between the reading standard of the sending facsimile machine and the printing standard of the receiving facsimile machine, You can output without protruding onto the recording paper of the same size as the original.
