Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate processing in case an error is generate in a post- procedure after an image is received by providing a means to discriminate the number of transmission succeeding pieces and line abnormality and to inform a transmitting side operator of the discrimination. CONSTITUTION:At first, it is confirmed that own company mode can be used. When own company machine is used in a receiving side, since it can be known in a transmitting side how function is obtained, the two pieces of originals are transmitted from the transmitting side. At such a time, when the error is generated on a line after a response signal, which shows that the transmission of one page is normally ended, is received from the receiving side in the transmitting side by an RDPBP15, since one page, at least, is normally received in the receiving side, in order to exactly inform the transmitting side of the normal reception, it is displayed that one page is normally transmitted in the column of the transmitting piece number for a communicating result report. Then, an NG is obtained as the error on the line. Accordingly, the user of the transmitting side can know the transmission is executed again from the second page by this report. Thus, the processing of a transmission restart is simply executed and a communicating charge comes down.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and particularly to processing when an error occurs in a subsequent procedure after receiving an image.

[Prior Art] In conventional facsimile machines, if an error occurs in the post-process after images have been successfully received and recorded, the line will be terminated abnormally. (or compensation).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional example described above, when the sending side sends multiple pages, the sending side will not be able to receive a normal instruction on the communication report or display unless the last communication procedure is completed normally. The disadvantage is that the receiver determines that not all pages have been received, forcing the sender to start over from the beginning.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] According to the present invention, an abnormality in the communication procedure and an abnormality in which image data is not transmitted normally can be distinguished in the communication report or the display on the display unit. This eliminates the drawbacks mentioned in the previous section.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the block configuration of this embodiment.

1 is a reading unit that reads a document; 2 is a recording unit that records received images; 3 is a control unit that controls a communication line;
Reference numeral 4 indicates an operation unit for operating and displaying the facsimile apparatus of this embodiment; 5 indicates a control unit for controlling all of 1 to 4; and 6 to 8.
1 is an image data line 3, 6' to 8' and 9 are control signal lines between the control unit 5 and each of the devices 1 to 4, and 10 is a communication line.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a communication sequence. See the appendix for signal names.

FIG. 3 is an example of a communication result report.

This embodiment will be explained below using FIG. 2.

First, confirm that the in-house mode can be used by following steps 11 and 12. If the receiving side is an in-house machine, the sending side will know what kind of functions it has, so you can send the original 2 times from the sending side.
Let's say you try to send a photo. At this time, if an error occurs on the line after the sending side receives a response signal indicating that one page has been successfully completed via RDPBP from the receiving side,
The receiving side should have received at least the first page normally, so in order to clearly inform the sending side of this, write 1 in the number of pages sent column in the communication result report as shown in Figure 3.
The page displays that the transmission was successful, and the result on the line is NG.

This allows the sending user to
You can see that you need to resend from the page number.

In the above-described embodiment, the communication result report shown in FIG. 3 may be displayed on the display section of the operation section.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the process of resuming transmission can be easily performed, and communication charges can be kept low.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a facsimile machine according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a sequence of communication procedures. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a communication result report. 1 is a reading section, 2 is a recording section, 3 is a communication control section, 4 is a display section, 5 is a control section, 6 to 8 are image data signal lines, 6' to 8'
and 9 are control signal lines, and 1o is a communication line.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A reading means for reading the original, a recording means for outputting the received original, a communication line control means for controlling communication, a control means for controlling the entire device, and a transmission side that distinguishes between the number of successfully transmitted sheets and line abnormality. A facsimile machine characterized by having means for notifying an operator.
