Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize the omission of an original data receiving record by transmitting the printing information of a transmitting party in a blank space of the paper for read document of an opposite party when the paper has the blank space even if the size of the paper is the same as that of the transmitting document. CONSTITUTION:After setting a document and the dial number of an opposite party in a reading section 10, it is discriminated whether the mode is the transmitting mode or not and, when the transmitting mode is set, the document is read by a document feeding operation. Then the operation is shifted to the commencement of transmission and the transmitting information of an opposite party obtained by a line controller 24 is discriminated by means of an opposite party information discriminating circuit 26 and whether or not the recording paper is sized paper is checked. When sized paper is used, a blank space discriminating circuit 20a discriminates whether or not the recording paper has a blank space and, when the recording paper has a blank space, an in-document print is outputted. Namely, a change-over switch 30 is switched to a switching terminal (a) side and the printing information of the transmitting party is outputted to a picture synthesizing circuit 32 from the in-document printing section 16 of a transmitting party printing circuit 12a. Then the information is added to the first blank space of the read picture data discriminated by the circuit 20a and the document is outputted to the circuit 24.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a facsimile machine that sends sending information by adding sender print data, the present invention aims to minimize the loss of received record data even if sender print data is added. When the margins of the read document are determined, the sender's print data is added within the margins and transmitted.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a facsimile device that adds sender print data to transmission information and sends the same.

A facsimile machine is equipped with a function to add appropriate sender print data set in advance at the sender to the original image data to be sent so that the sender can be identified at the other end.

[Prior Art] The sender print data transmission function of a conventional facsimile machine is such that the sender print data is sent before the original image data to be sent, for example, so that the sender prints on the upper limit of the received paper. Therefore, the transmitted data becomes longer by the amount that the sender's print data is added to.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) When transmitting the original image data with the sender's print data added, if the destination's recording paper is roll paper, the transmitted data becomes long. can be recorded and received without any problem, but if the recipient's document is cut paper and has the same size as the sent original, the print position of the original image data will be shifted by the addition of the sender's print data, so depending on the original, the last part may be There was a problem that it would cut out.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can minimize the loss of received record data even if sender print data is added. shall be.

[Means to solve the problem] FIG. 1 is a diagram explaining the principle of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the sender printing section 12 adds sender print information to the document information read by the reading section 10, and sends it to the transmitter 10.
In the facsimile machine that transmits data from No. 4 to the other party, the present invention includes an in-document printing section 16 in the sender printing section 12.
and a document quality printing section 18, and when the margin determination section 20 determines the margin of the read document, the in-document printing section 16 adds source printing information within the margin of the document; on the other hand, when the margin cannot be determined, the document The sender's printed information is added to the outside of the document by the digital printing section 18.

[Function] According to the 71-kushimi device of the present invention having such a configuration, even if the destination is paper of the same size as the original to be sent, if there is a margin in the original to be read, the transmission will be made within this margin. Since the original print information is added and transmitted, the transmission data does not become longer even if the sender print information is added, and it is possible to minimize the loss of the reception record of the original image data.

Embodiment FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a reading section, which outputs image data optically read by scanning a document set in a facsimile machine. The image data of the document read by the reading unit 10 is compressed by a compression circuit 22 using, for example, a run-length encoding method, and is provided to a margin determination circuit 20a. The margin determination circuit 20a outputs "1" to the AND gate 28 if there is enough margin to add the sender's print at the beginning of the compressed image data obtained from the compression circuit 20, and outputs "0" if there is no margin. Output.

On the other hand, a line control circuit 24 is provided which includes the functions of the transmitter 14 shown in FIG. Then, response information such as the size of the recording paper and whether it is roll paper or cut paper returned from the other party is received and output to the other party information determination circuit 26. The other party information determination circuit 26 outputs "1" to the AND gate 28 when the other party's recording paper received via the line control circuit 24 is cut paper and the size of the recording paper is the same as or smaller than the original size. , at other times, i.e., when roll paper is used or when the recording paper size is larger than the original size even if it is cut paper, rOJ is applied to the AND gate 28.
Output.

Reference numeral 12a denotes a source printing circuit, which has an internal document printing section 16 and a document-specific printing section 18, and is connected to switching terminals a and b of a switch 30 for switching print outputs of the internal-document printing section 16 and document-specific printing section 18.
are connected to each of them.

The switching output of the changeover switch 30 is applied to an image synthesis circuit 32, where it is synthesized with the compressed image data output from the compression circuit 22, and transmitted to the other party via the line control circuit 24.

A changeover switch 30 for switching between the print outputs of the in-document printing unit 16 and the original-character printing unit 18 is controlled by the output of an AND gate 28 . When the output of the AND gate 28 is "1", the changeover switch 3o is closed to the switching terminal a side as shown in the figure, while when the output of the AND gate 28 is "0", the changeover switch 30 is closed to the switching terminal a side. Can be switched.

That is, in the AND gate 2B, the margin determination circuit 20a determines that there is a margin at the beginning of the read document, and the destination information determination circuit 26 determines that the destination recording paper is cut paper and is the same size as the original or smaller. When the size is ``
1'' is generated, the changeover switch 30 is switched to the switching terminal a side as shown in the figure, and the source print information from the in-document printing unit 16 provided in the source print circuit 12a is output to the image composition circuit 32. . Also, the output of the AND gate 28 is r
OJ occurs when the margin determination circuit 20a determines that there is no margin at the beginning of the document, and the destination information determination circuit 26 determines the document size even if the destination recording paper is roll paper or cut paper. When the size is larger, the selector switch 30 is switched to the selector terminal side by the output rOJ of the AND gate 28 at this time, and the source printing circuit 1 is switched to the selector terminal side.
Printed output from the extra-original printing section 18 provided at 2a is output to the image composition circuit 32.

Of course, appropriate information such as the name and telephone number of the sender is preset in the sender print circuit 12a as sender print information.

Next, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 will be explained with reference to the transmission operation flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when a transmission start operation is performed after setting a transmission document in the reading section 10 and setting the dial number of the destination, it is determined in step S1 of FIG. 3 whether or not it is in transmission mode, and if it is in transmission mode, step S2 Proceed to , and read the original by feeding the original.

Subsequently, in step S3, it is checked whether the recording paper of the other party is cut paper or not based on the judgment result of the other party information judgment circuit 26 of the transmission information from the other party which is 1q after the line is connected by the line control circuit 24 due to the start of transmission. If the recording paper is cut paper, the process advances to step S4, where it is checked whether the size of the recording paper is smaller than the original size. If the recording paper size is less than the document size, the process advances to step S5 and the margin determination circuit 2
Based on the judgment output of 0a, the presence or absence of a margin is checked, and if the judgment output of a margin is obtained, the process proceeds to step S6, and printout in ml is performed.

That is, in steps 83 to 5, if the recipient's recording paper is cut paper and the size is less than the original size, the output of the recipient information determination circuit 26 becomes "1", and if the margin is determined, the output of the margin determination circuit 20a is Since this becomes "1", the output of the AND gate 28 also becomes "1", and by switching the changeover switch 30 to the switching terminal a side as shown in the figure, the source printing section 16 of the source printing circuit 12a is switched to the source printing section 12a. The print information is output to the image composition circuit 32, and the image composition circuit 32 adds the sender print information to the first margin portion of the read image data determined by the margin determination circuit 20a and outputs it to the line control circuit 24. Become.

Then, in step $7, the read image data to which the margin source print information is finally added is transmitted to the other party.

On the other hand, if the other party is roll paper in step S3, the process advances to step S8, where original-like printout is performed, and step S7
It will now be sent with .

In other words, if the destination is cut paper, the destination information judgment circuit 2
6 becomes "0", and the output of AND gate 28 also becomes r.
Since it is OJ, the changeover switch 30 is switched to the switching terminal side, and the outside document printing section 18 of the source printing circuit 12a is switched to the switching terminal side.
The sender print information outputted from the image synthesis circuit 32 is sent to the other party before sending the image data, and then the image data is sent.

Furthermore, if the recipient's recording paper is a cut sheet and is larger than the original size in step S4, there will be no loss of received recording data even if the sender print information is added outside the original.
Proceeding to step S8, the document-like printout is similarly performed.

Furthermore, if margins cannot be determined from the read document in step S5, the process proceeds to step S8 to output document-like prints. If the process proceeds from step S5 to step S8, there is a possibility that the end of the received record data may be missing depending on the document.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the manuscript paper 34 transmitted in the embodiment of FIG. 2, and generally there are margins on the top and bottom, left and right sides of the manuscript paper 34. Regarding such margins of the manuscript paper 34, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the margin determination circuit 20a determines whether a margin 36LI at the lower corner of the manuscript paper 34 exists. In addition to the bottom corner margin 3
6D and left and right margins 36L and 36R may be determined.

In this way, there are four margins 36U on the top, bottom, left and right of the manuscript paper 34.
, 36D, 36L, and 36R, for example, even if the bottom corner margin 36U cannot be determined, other margins can be determined, and the determined margin position can be specified to print out the document. By doing this, it is possible to almost completely prevent the loss of received recorded data when the destination is cut paper and the size is less than the same size as the original document.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, even if the destination is cut paper of a fixed size, when the margin position of the read document is determined, the sender print information is added to the margin position. Therefore, even if sender print information is added, omissions at the end of the received record data can be minimized, making highly reliable transmission possible.
