Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a part of a document from being missing and useless recording paper from being outputted by constituting the title facsimile equipment so that a receiving side equipment incidates clearly a recording method for a long-sized document to a transmitting side equipment, and the transmitting side equipment works and transmits the document so that it can be recorded and outputted appropriately by the receiving side. CONSTITUTION:When a document is received from a transmitting side equipment of the other party, length of a transmitting document 5 is measured by a measuring part 5 by image information of reception, and informed to a control part 4. The control part 4 compares a measuring output from the measuring part 5 with division deciding document length and when the document is longer, said control part controls a recording part 2 so that image information corresponding to divided document length is printed. Subsequently, the transmitting document 7 is divided at every divided document length (b) from the tip, two sheets of receiving recording paper 6-1, 6-2 are outputted, and since the last part is under division deciding document length (a), the part of the divided document length (b) is outputted to receiving recording paper 6-3, and the document is divided into total three sheets of receiving recording paper 6 and outputted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile device, and more particularly to a facsimile device that records image information on cut sheets of standard dimensions.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of facsimile machine receives and records image information from a sending device on recording paper cut to a standard size.
Image information exceeding the recording paper length is divided onto the next recording paper and received and recorded, and this information is not notified to the sending device.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional facsimile machine mentioned above does not notify the sending device of the received information divided into recording sheets, so the sending device adds the phone number of the sending device to the original to be sent, so that the original length is standard. (For example, A4, 84, etc.) If the recording paper is output on the receiving side, part of the document will be missing, and the almost unnecessary part at the rear edge of the document will be cut out.
The disadvantage is that the recording paper is wasted because the recording is performed on a sheet of cut paper.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes a communication means for notifying a first numerical value indicating a division determination document length and a second numerical value indicating a divided document length to a destination apparatus in a facsimile transmission control procedure, a measuring means for measuring and outputting the length of the document based on information; and a recording control means for printing and recording the second numerical value on a designated recording paper when the measured value from the measuring means exceeds the first numerical value. have.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 4 inputs a first numerical value (indicating the recording capability) into the transmission control procedure with the other party's sending device via the line 1a of the transmitting/receiving unit 1.
The division determination document length) and the second numerical value (divided document length) are notified. The first and second numerical values are, for example, encoded and added to a non-standard device setting signal (NSS) and transmitted.

When receiving a document from the other party's sending device, the measuring section 5 measures the length of the transmitted document based on the received image information and notifies the control section 4 of the length. The control section 4 compares the measurement output from the measurement section 5 with the divided document length and controls the recording section 2 to print image information corresponding to the divided document length if the document is long.

Furthermore, the measurement unit 5 initializes the measurement and repeats the above operation.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the sending document 7 and the receiving recording paper 6 for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

In FIG. 2, a indicates the length of the document to be determined for division, and b indicates the length of the divided document. The transmission document 7 is divided from the leading edge according to the length of the divided document, and two reception recording sheets 6-1 and 6-2 are output, and since the last part is less than the division judgment document length 8, the part of the divided document length is received. The received recording paper 6-3 is outputted, and the received recording paper 6 is divided into a total of three sheets and output.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows the receiving device to clearly indicate to the sending device how to record a long document, so that the sending device processes the document and sends it so that the receiving device can appropriately record and output the document. By outputting recording paper that has been divided and printed on the receiving side, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent parts of the document from being missing or from outputting wasteful recording paper.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A facsimile transmission control procedure includes a communication means for notifying a destination device of a first numerical value indicating a document length for division determination and a second numerical value indicating a divided document length, and determining the length of the document based on image information from the destination device. It is characterized by having a measuring means for measuring and outputting, and a recording control means for printing and recording the second numerical value on a designated recording paper when the measured value from the measuring means exceeds the first numerical value. facsimile machine.
