Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the reading of a receiving record to accompany a reducing record by selecting data to correspond to a recording paper width from a memory means when an original to be wider than the recording paper width is received, reading the data and printing them to a recording paper. CONSTITUTION:A full scale mode key 7d of a keyboard 7 and a copy key 7c are simultaneously operated. When an output range changing-over switch 7e is switched to a left position, a control circuit 1 executes the reading of the data to correspond to the recording paper width of an A5 size from the data to be stored to a receiving data memory 6 and the printing is executed to the recording paper in a recording part 4. Accordingly, when the original data of an A4 size are stored in the receiving data memory 6, the recording paper is printed with the width of the A5 size. Thus, a width-wise direction is limited, however, the printing is executed samely as a transmitting original wholly in a length-wise direction. Then, a receiving record to be easily observed can be obtained.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] b) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a facsimile IJ device.

(b) Conventional technology Recently, facsimile machines that can send and receive A5 or A6 size manuscripts have been developed (for example, Nikkei Communications magazine August 10, 1987 issue P14~
17) is used for sending and receiving slips or memos, but since the width of the recording paper is narrow, when A4-size original data is received, the received data is thinned out at predetermined intervals, etc. As shown in Figure 2, since the printing is done in a reduced size to fit on A5 size recording paper, there is a problem in that the printed characters are small and difficult to read.

PI Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a facsimile IJ device that prints in the original size of the original, albeit partially.

B) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides memory means for storing received data, means for instructing which range of data to read out of the data stored in the memory means, and means for instructing the instructing means. (e) Function Since the present invention is constructed as described above, data is read out from the memory means and controlled to print on the roll paper in the recording section. is the original size, and although the width direction is limited to the range specified by the indicating means, printing is performed at the original size, so even if a document is received that is larger than the width of the recording paper, it will be recorded at the original size, so the reception record will be printed at the original size. It becomes easier to read.

(4) is a recording unit that drives a recording head such as a thermal head to perform printing under the control of the control circuit (1) based on the received signal, and is composed of a recording paper, a recording paper transport mechanism, and a recording head. A roll paper of A5 size is loaded and up to A5 size reception recording is performed. (51 is a data memory that stores the original data read by the reading unit (3) or data processed by the control circuit (1). (6) is a reception data memory that stores the received data in the original size reception mode. , is equipped with a memory that can store data on multiple sheets of manuscript.

and data memory (5) and received data memo January 6)
Writing and reading of data to and from the memory is controlled by a control circuit (1). (7) is a keyboard that gives various instructions to the control circuit (11), including a send key (7a), a receive key (7b), a copy key (7c), and an original size mode key (7d).
), an output range changeover switch (7e), etc., and a control circuit (1) that receives a key signal performs control according to a program in a program memory (2) in accordance with the key signal. (8) is a display device that displays operation modes and the like associated with key operations on the keyboard (7). (9) modulates the signal-processed data in the control circuit (1) so that it can be sent to the telephone line (L), and also demodulates the signal sent from the telephone line (L) and sends it to the control circuit (1). A modem circuit that operates to supply (10) is the telephone α on the telephone line (L).
This is a line switching circuit that switches and connects B and the modem circuit (9), and is composed of a relay circuit and is switched and controlled by the control circuit (1). (The port is an incoming call detection circuit that detects an incoming bell signal and supplies an incoming call detection signal to the control circuit (1).

Next, the four motions of the present invention consisting of the praying configuration, Fig. 2,
This will be explained based on the flowchart in FIG.

First, in the standby state, when there is an incoming call from the line (L), the incoming call detection circuit detects the bell signal and supplies the incoming call detection signal to the control circuit (1), and in step (3201), the control circuit that detected the incoming call (1) is step (3202)
Proceed to control the line switching circuit and switch the line (L) to telephone α.
1) to the modem circuit (9) to establish a line connection. After sending and receiving a predetermined control signal in step (3203), reception of image data is started in step (S204), and it is determined in step (S205) whether the received data is larger than the recordable A5 size. Let's do it. If this judgment determines that the original data is A5 size or narrower, the process proceeds to step (S212), controls the recording unit (4), performs printing based on the received data, and completes the reception in step (8213). If detected, step (321
1) Disconnect the line and return to standby mode.

However, if it is determined in step (S205) that the document data is wider than A5 size, step (S2a6
), it detects whether or not the original size mode key (7d) of the keyboard (7) has been operated. If it has not been operated, the process advances to step (S214), where predetermined reduction processing is performed, and then the recording unit (4 ) to record reception. Therefore, for example, A4 size original data is reduced and printed on A5 size recording paper.

However, if it is detected in step (S206) that the original size mode key (7d) is being operated, the process advances to step (3207), displays on the display (8) that memory reception is being performed, and then returns to step (S206). 8208), the data is sequentially stored in the received data memory (6), and in step (3209), the received data is reduced and the recording unit (4) is controlled to print on the recording paper.1. As a result, the received data is stored in the received data memory (6) in the original size of the original to be transmitted, while being reduced and recorded on recording paper.

When the person on the receiving side looks at the reception record, if it is difficult to see because it is reduced, check the display (8) to confirm that it has been received in memory, then press the full size mode key (7d) on the keyboard (7). ) and copy key (7C) at the same time. The control circuit (
Step 1) proceeds to step (Ssoz) (33o3) and checks the state of the output range changeover switch (7e). Assuming that the switch (7e) is now switched to the left position, the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S304) to obtain data corresponding to the width of A5 recording paper from the data stored in the received data memory (6). As a result, if A4 size original data is stored in the received data memo (January 6), the recording paper is roll paper and is long. Since the length direction is free, it is printed in the length of A4 size and the width of A5 size, as shown in Figure 4 fal.

As a result, although the horizontal direction is limited, all the vertical directions are printed in the same manner as the transmitted document, resulting in an easy-to-read reception record. Similarly, when the output range selector switch (7e) is set to the center or right position, A5 size data is stored from the received data memory (6) as shown in the 4th output) and Figure 4 1c). Data corresponding to the width is read out and printed. Therefore, the reception record can be easily read by looking at the reduced reception record and appropriately selecting the part to be viewed in the original size using the output range changeover switch (7e).

To send the next message, place a document up to A5 size in the reading section (4), dial the destination facsimile device using the telephone αυ, and after confirming the response, press the keyboard (7). When the transmission key (7a) is operated, the control circuit (1) detecting the transmission key signal transmits the signal to the reading section (3).
After reading the set original data and performing signal processing such as encoding, the modem circuit (9
), and the telephone line (L) is modulated via the line switching circuit α■.
When the copy key (7C) is operated, the original data read by the reading unit (3) is transferred to the recording unit (4).
), it is possible to make a copy of the original.

(G) Effects of the Invention As described above, the 7-axis IJ device of the present invention is provided with a memory means for storing received document data, and when receiving a document wider than the width of the recording paper, the memory means stores data corresponding to the width of the recording paper. Since data is appropriately selected and read out and printed on recording paper, it is no longer difficult to read received records due to reduced recording, which is a great practical effect.
