Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit a trouble to separately generate a front cover by inputting directly the front cover of a transmission original from a transmission side by the input operation of an operator. CONSTITUTION:A storage section 1 storing a data representing the format of the front cover for transmission original and the data representing described content of the front cover, and an operation section 3 generating a front cover transmission instruction signal and a front cover generating data in response to the keyboard operation by the operator are provided on the equipment. Moreover, a control section 2 receiving the instruction signal and controlling the equipment to output a front cover data and a communication control section 4 outputting the content of the storage section 1 and outputting it to a communication line as a picture signal are provided. Then the operator applies the keyboard operation of the operation section 3 at the transmission to instruct the transmission of the front cover and inputs the data of the front cover content. Then in the case of transmission with the front cover attached to the original, a trouble to generate separately the front cover by the transmission side is omitted.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to facsimile devices.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional facsimile machines, if you want to attach a cover to a transmission document and send it, you must separately create a cover, set it in the reading unit together with the transmission document, and send it.

[Leading problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The above-described conventional facsimile apparatus has a disadvantage in that when transmitting a document with a cover attached, the sender must separately create the cover, which requires extra effort.

[Means for solving problems]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes an operation section that generates a transmission instruction signal and cover data in response to an instruction to transmit a cover of a transmission document and an input operation for contents of the cover, and a control section that generates a transmission instruction signal and cover data in response to an input operation for inputting the contents of the cover. It includes a storage section for storing data, and a communication control section for reading and outputting the contents of the storage section and sending it out as an image signal to a communication line.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. a storage unit 1 that stores data indicating the format of a cover for transmission manuscripts and data indicating contents to be filled in on the cover; an operation unit 3 that generates a cover transmission instruction signal and cover creation data in response to an operator's keyboard operations; A control unit 2 receives this instruction signal and controls the device to output cover data.
and a communication control section 4 which reads the contents of the storage section 1 and outputs it as an image signal to a communication line. At the time of transmission, when the operator operates the keyboard on the operation section 3 to instruct cover page transmission and inputs cover content data, the control section 2 responds by sending the cover page data to the storage section 1 and temporarily writes it.

The communication control unit 4 sequentially reads out the contents of the storage unit 1 and outputs them to the communication line as an image signal at the beginning of communication.

FIG. 2 is a front view illustrating the result of receiving and recording the cover image signal on the receiving side in this embodiment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that the data for the cover of a transmission document can be directly input into the apparatus on the transmitting side through an input operation by an operator, thereby saving the effort of separately creating a cover.
