The case where this facsimile machine is used to transmit a document to the GII facsimile machine will be explained according to the communication procedure shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that two sheets of A5 size originals 31 and 32 are inserted and transmitted horizontally as shown in the same figure.

The document running section 2 detects the insertion of the document and notifies the main control section 6 of the insertion. The sender inputs the telephone number of the recipient and uses U7 to call the receiver's facsimile machine (hereinafter referred to as the receiver), and the receiver receives the CI signal (Sl in Figure 7) and closes the telephone line. A CED signal (32 in FIG. 4) and a group confirmation Gl signal (33 in FIG. 7) are sent to the transmitter side. The transmitter decodes the Gl signal sent from the receiver using the main control unit 6 and confirms that the other device is a CN model (1), then sends the group command signal GC signal and transmission path adjustment via the line control unit 4. The CS signal is sent out 7, the modem 3 is controlled,
A phase PHS signal is sent to the receiver side.

When the receiver receives the GC signal and LCS signal and confirms that the transmitter is a G11 model, it receives the next P
After synchronizing the image signals with the N2 signal, the reception/#ready CFR signal (56 in FIG. 7) is sent out. When the main controller 6 decodes the CFR signal sent to the transmitter, it starts feeding the first page of the document. One line of the original converted into both signals by the reading unit 1 is modulated by the model 1.2, and sent to the receiver side through the line control unit 4. When the image signal of one line is modulated, it is sent to the original transport unit 2. The document is sent for the next line, and the image signal for this next line is sent from the reading section 3 to the modem 3, modulated, and sent through the line control section 4 to the receiver side. When the document running section 2 detects the end of the first page of the document after repeated operations, this is notified to the main control section 6, and the main control section 6 stores the message end ROM.
Send a signal. The receiver that received this ROM signal sends the menu confirmation MCF signal (39 in Figure 7), followed by the Gr.
The double signal 810 in FIG. 7 is sent to the transmitter. After decoding the MCF signal, the main control unit 6 of the transmitter reads the next page (eighth page).
After confirming through the document transport section 2 that there is a document 32) shown in the figure, and then decoding the received Gl signal, it sends out G, C signals and 1, CS signals, controls the modem 3, and sets the phase PJ. (The S signal is sent to the receiver side. The receiver sends the G signal to the receiver side.
After receiving the C signal and LC8 signal and confirming that the transmitter is a GH model, the image signal is synchronized with the next arriving Pl-i S signal, and then the CFR is ready for reception.
A signal (813 in FIG. 7) is sent. When the transmitter decodes the sent CFR signal with the main control unit 6, it starts feeding the second page of the document and starts transmitting the image signal. When the document running section 2 detects the end of the second page of the document, this is notified to the main control section 6, and the main control section 6 sends out a message end ROM signal. Upon receiving this ROM signal, the receiver sends a message confirmation MCF signal (816 in FIG. 7) and then a Gl signal (7th time 817) to the transmitter.

When the main control unit 6 of the transmitter decodes the MCF signal, it checks whether there is a next page through the document transport unit 2, and if there is no next page, it sends a PIS signal (818 in Figure 7) to interrupt the procedure, and closes the page. Open the connected telephone line. At the same time, the receiver also opens the telephone line.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In this way, the GII facsimile machine inserts communication procedures such as document end notification and T11 confirmation, model notification and confirmation, transmission path adjustment and image signal synchronization between the documents to be sent, so that the document is If there are pages, they are always sent as N pages, so when sending multiple pages of a short original with a small amount of content, there was a problem that the transmission time was too long compared to sending a small amount of content. .

This invention was made to solve the above problem.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device capable of transmitting a plurality of pages of a manuscript at once without the communication procedure for transmitting the next manuscript.

[Failure to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a page memory that stores image signals for one page of the original sent out by the original reading section and sends them to the modem line by line; It has a page memory control section that controls a document running section that controls feeding/stopping, and when the page memory control section receives a specific external input, the page memory control section controls the page memory control section until it receives a signal indicating that there is no next document from the document running control section. Continuing the document feeding operation on the document traveling section,
The above-mentioned transmission stop request A, 5 when receiving the next document-free signal.
The system is configured to send out a number.

[Effect]

In this invention, since a page memory is provided, it is possible to send multiple sheets of original as one page, and it is possible to send notification and confirmation of the end of the original, which was previously necessary between the originals to be sent. This eliminates the need for communication procedures such as notification and confirmation, transmission path adjustment, and image signal synchronization.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 denotes a page memory, which stores the electric signal sent out by the af5 pickup section l as an image signal. Reference numeral 8 denotes a heso memory control section, which monitors the accumulation state of both signals in the page memory 7 and controls the document running section 2. Since the other configurations are the same as those in FIG. 6, the same components are given the same reference numerals.

Assume that an A5 manuscript A (indicated by reference numeral 31) shown in FIG. 4 is to be transmitted.

The image signal for one line of the original 31 read by the original reading section 1 is stored in the page memory 7. The page memory control section 8 notifies the document moving section 2 that the page memory 7 has stored this image signal, and the document moving section 2 moves the document 31 by one line.

Next, the original reading unit 1 reads the next line, and the image signal is stored in the page memory 7, and the page memory control unit 8 informs the original transport unit that this image signal has been stored in the page memory 7. 2, and the document moving unit 2 moves the document 31 by one line. Thereafter, this operation is repeated until the reading of the original 31 is completed, and image information for one page of the original is stored in the page memory 7.

The sender manually enters the telephone number of the recipient and calls the receiving facsimile machine (hereinafter referred to as the receiver), and the receiver receives the C1 signal (Sl in Figure 2) and closes the telephone line. A signal (32 in FIG. 2) and a group confirmation Gl signal (33 in FIG. 2) are sent to the transmitter side. The transmitter decodes the Gl signal sent from the receiver using the main controller 6 and confirms that the other device is of the G179 type. The transmission line adjustment LC8 signal (34. in Figure 2) is sent, the modem 3 is controlled, and the phase PHS signal (55 in Figure 2) is sent to the receiver side.The receiver receives the CC signal and After receiving the L C8 signal and confirming that the transmitter is a G model,
After synchronizing the image signal with the next arriving PHS signal, it sends out a reception ready CFR signal (36 in FIG. 2). When the main controller 6 decodes the sent CFR signal, the transmitter notifies the page memory controller 8 that it will start transmitting both signals for the first page (57 in FIG. 2). Image information for each line is successively outputted from the page memory 7 by the page memory control section 8, modulated via the modem 3, and transmitted through the line control section 4 to the receiver side. Next manuscript B
(original indicated by the reference numeral 32 in FIG. 6), after starting the transfer of this image signal, the page memory control section 8
Advance the second original 32 one line at a time, and then advance the second original 32 one line at a time.
In the same manner as in the above case, image signals for one line are stored in the page memory 7. The image signal of the second original 32 is successively transmitted to the receiver side through the modem 3 and the line control unit 4 after the transfer of the image signal of the original 3] is completed.

When the page memory control section 8 is notified by the document transport section 2 that reading of the second document 32 is completed and that there is no third document, the page memory control section 8 notifies the main control section 6 to that effect.

As a result, the main control unit 6 finishes transmitting the image signal and transfers the image signal to the ROM.
A signal (38 in FIG. 2) is sent out. The transmitter receives the MCF signal (39 in Figure 2) and CC signal (81 in Figure 2) from the receiver.
0) and confirm that there is no manuscript to send.
A PIS signal (Sl1 in FIG. 2) is sent to open the line. At the same time, the receiver also opens the line. Therefore, the two transmitted manuscripts 31 and 32 are recorded in the recording section 5 of the receiver as one page of A4 size, as shown in FIG. however,
There is no boundary line between the original 31 and the original 32.

As shown in FIG. 5, if this boundary line (2) is required, a boundary line generator 9 may be connected as shown in FIG. In this case, when the page memory control section 8 is notified by the document transport section 2 that there is a second document and instructs the document transport section 2 to feed the second document, the boundary line generator 9 generates a border line. The image information is transferred to the page memory 7.

In this way, in this embodiment, since the page memory 7 is provided, it is possible to transmit the document without interruption.
If there is no need to record multiple short documents on separate pages on the receiving side, you can use the short-length transmission mode to perform the recording operation, which eliminates the intermediate communication steps required between documents. This is no longer necessary, and communication time can be significantly reduced.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, this invention allows multiple manuscripts to be sent as one page, so notification and confirmation of the end of the manuscript and notification of the model, which were conventionally required between the manuscripts to be transmitted, and notification of the model. This eliminates the need for communication procedures such as confirmation, transmission path adjustment, and image signal synchronization, which can shorten transmission time, especially when sending multiple short originals. effective.
