Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently arrange and preserve facsimile messages by outputting a page mark when the number of lines of a line counter section is larger than that of a size setting section and a middle point mark to the half position of the lines when the number ot lines of the line counter section is smaller than the other. CONSTITUTION:A size setting section 7 outputs the number of lines of a standard length corresponding to the width of paper based on the data of a communication controlling section 3. A comparing section 8 compares the number of lines obtained from a line counter section 6 with the number of lines set by the section 7 and, when the number of lines of the section 6 is larger than the number of lines set by the section 7, gives the number of lines of one piece of standard-size paper to a middle point mark data generating section 9. After the section 9 generates a middle point mark 14a, a page mark generating section 10 generates a page mark 15. When the number of lines from the line counter section 6 is smaller than the number of lines set by the size setting section 7, the comparing section 8 give the number of lines which is not outputted yet to the middle point mark data generating section 9 so as to cause the section 9 to output the middle point mark 14a to the half position of the number of lines. Then the section 8 causes a paper cutter section 18 to cut recording paper 13.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a facsimile reception and recording system in which marks are printed on recording paper to serve as a guide for file binding.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional facsimile reception and recording system disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 12263/1983. The connected NCU (network control unit)/modem section 3 is a communication control section that is connected to the NCU/modem section 2 and performs communication control; 4 is a communication control section that receives a facsimile signal from the encoded facsimile signal sent from the communication control section 3; 5 is a memory section that stores the facsimile signal sent from the decoding section 4; 6 is a line counter section that counts the number of lines of the facsimile signal stored in the memory section 5; 9 is the above-mentioned ■ A midpoint mark data generation unit that generates midpoint mark data when the total number of lines obtained from the line counter unit 6 reaches the final line number; 11 is a facsimile signal from the memory unit 5 and generates the midpoint mark data; 12 is a recording head section that records the output of the logical sum section 11; and 13 is a recording paper on which recording is performed by the recording head section 12.

Next, the operation will be explained. The facsimile signal transmitted from the line la1 is decoded by the decoding unit 4 via the NCU/modem unit 2 and the communication control unit 3, and is temporarily stored in the memory unit 5 sequentially line by line.

In this case, the amount of data stored in the memory section 5 is proportional to the number of received lines, but the number of received lines can be obtained from the line counter section 6. When the reception of facsimile signals for one transmitted document is eventually completed, the total number of lines will be obtained from the line counter section 6.

After this, facsimile signals are sequentially read line by line from the memory section 5 and given to the recording head section 12 via the OR section 11, so that the facsimile signals are transmitted to the recording paper 13 which is being sub-scanned. It is recorded sequentially line by line.

While recording is being performed in this way, when the recording reaches the (total number of lines)/2 line position, the leading and trailing parts of the facsimile signal corresponding to that line will become black pixels. If the point mark data generating section 9 outputs midpoint mark data, linear marks will be recorded at both left and right ends of the center of the recording paper 13.

FIG. 5 shows an example of recorded recording paper according to the conventional method. As shown in the figure, when the length of the recording paper 13 in the vertical direction is 2L, linear marks 14 are placed at both ends of the center.
It can be seen that this is what is recorded. When punching holes for file binding in order to organize and preserve these recording papers, the holes were punched so that the linear mark was located in the center.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional facsimile reception recording system is configured as described above, so it counts the number of lines for one transmitted document, and when the line position reaches (total number of lines)/2, a two-hole file is placed at that position. Linear mark 1 that serves as a guide for binding
4, and if you receive a document that is longer than the standard length, you must measure the standard length and decide on a guideline for cutting, and the mark that serves as a guideline is for 2-hole file binding. There were problems such as the fact that it could no longer be used as a guideline.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile reception and recording system that can efficiently organize and store even recording paper of standard length.

In addition to the above object, another object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile reception and recording system that can efficiently organize and store even long recording sheets.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile reception and recording method according to the present invention includes a size setting section for setting the number of lines for a standard length corresponding to the width of paper, a line counter section for outputting the number of lines accumulated in a memory, and a line counter section for setting the number of lines for a standard length corresponding to the width of paper. A comparison section that compares the number of lines with the number of lines in the size setting section, a midpoint mark data generation section that outputs a midpoint mark based on the output of this comparison section, and a page that outputs a page mark based on the output of the comparison section. It is equipped with a mark data generation section.

[For production]

In this invention, when the number of lines in the line counter section is larger than the number of lines in the size setting section, the comparison section gives the number of lines for one sheet of paper to the midpoint mark data generation section, and from the midpoint mark data generation section In addition to generating a dot mark, the page mark generation section generates a page mark at the location of one sheet of standard size paper, and the number of lines of facsimile signals that are not output in the memory section is less than the number of lines in the size setting section. A midpoint mark is generated from the midpoint mark data generation section at a position several lines above the 7 axis signal that has not been output.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, %1-6, 9, 11-13 are exactly the same as the conventional example.

7 is data in the G37 axis digital command signal obtained from the communication control unit 3 (main scanning A4.84 width, etc.)
A size setting section 8 sets the number of lines for the standard length (in the sub-scanning direction) corresponding to the width of the paper. The comparison unit 10 is the l output from the comparison unit 8 when one page of recording is completed.
A page mark data generation section outputs a mark indicating the length of one page of the standard size by the signal at the end of 2 minutes, and 18 is the comparison section 8). This is a vapor cutter section that cuts the recording paper 13 according to the signal shown.

Next, the operation will be explained. In the facsimile receiving and recording apparatus, the number of lines corresponding to the standard length corresponding to the width of the paper is outputted from the υ size setting section 7 based on the data from the communication control section 3.

Moreover, when 7 axis signals are accumulated in the memory section 5,
The number of lines stored in the memory section 5 can be obtained from the line counter section 6.

The comparing section 8 compares the number of lines obtained by the line counter section 6 and the number of lines set by the size setting section 7, and as a result of the comparison, the number of lines obtained from the line counter section 6 is determined by the size setting section 7. If there are more lines than the number of lines obtained,
When the facsimile signal is sequentially read out line by line, the comparator 8 gives the midpoint mark data generator 9 the number of lines equivalent to one sheet of standard size.

The midpoint mark data generating section 9 generates the midpoint mark 1 shown in FIG.
After generating 4a, the page mark generating section 10 generates a page mark 15 shown in FIG. 2 at a position indicating the autumnal equinox on the standard size paper at the number of lines corresponding to one sheet of standard size paper.

If the number of lines of the facsimile signal that has not yet been outputted is greater than the number of lines for one sheet of standard size paper obtained by the size setting section 7, the same operation is repeated.

Furthermore, if the number of lines of facsimile signals stored in the memory section 5 that have not yet been output is smaller than the number of lines for one sheet of standard size paper obtained by the size setting section 7, the comparison section 8 The number of lines of the facsimile signal that has not yet been output is given to the midpoint mark data generating section 9, and the midpoint mark data generating section 9 is made to output the midpoint mark 14a at the position of the number of lines of the facsimile signal that has not been outputted/2. .

Thereafter, when the facsimile signal stored in the memory section 5 is output in a panoramic manner, the comparator section 8 causes the vapor cutter section 18 to cut the recording paper 13, thereby completing the post-operation.

3 is a block diagram sb showing another embodiment of the present invention. In this FIG. 3, parts indicated by 16 and 17 are added to the configuration of FIG. It has the added function of cutting paper according to length, 1
Reference numeral 6 denotes a vapor cutter operation designation section, which determines the operation of the vapor cutter section 18 using an input device such as a button or a switch.

A vapor cutter control section 17 controls the vapor cutter section 18 based on the output of the vapor cutter operation designation section 16 and the output of the comparison section 8.

Here, when the normal operation is specified in the vapor cutter operation specifying section 16, the same operation as in the example of the facsimile reception and recording method shown in FIG. 1 is performed.

Further, when the vapor cutter operation specifying section 16 specifies the operation of cutting each length of the standard size, when the comparison section 8 gives a signal to the page mark data generation section 10, the vapor cutter control section 17 simultaneously sends a signal to the vapor cutter section 18. output,
Cut the paper.

Further, even when all the facsimile signals stored in the memory section 5 have been output, the vapor cutter control section 1T uses the signal from the comparison section 8 to send the recording paper 13 to the vapor cutter section 18.
is disconnected and the operation ends.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, if the record is long, the recording paper 13 is cut into standard lengths, so you can use the guideline for two-hole file binding as needed. , can be efficiently organized and stored.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when the number of lines in the line counter section is larger than the number of lines in the size setting section, a midpoint mark is generated from the midpoint mark data generation section, and one sheet of standard size paper is generated. When a page mark is output from the page mark data generation section as shown in the figure, and line a of the line counter section is smaller than the line number of the size set section, a page mark is output from the memory section at the position 1 of the line number of the facsimile signal that is not output. Since it is configured to output a midpoint mark, even recording paper of standard length can be efficiently organized and stored.
