Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image transmitting apparatus having an image information management function.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional devices of this type have image information management means for managing image information read from a document by attaching management information such as a reception number, and after reading the document is completed, the received image information is stored. Using an image recording device to print and record, as shown in Figure 3, a reception report 1 in which management information such as reception number is recorded is created.
00 (for example, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 186661/1983).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, while this configuration provides the user with the convenience of managing messages, there are problems in that it causes trouble in managing reception reports and accelerates the consumption of recording paper.

The above problem arises for the following reasons.

That is, first, the user must keep the reception report so that it can always be checked against the transmitted manuscript.
If the reception report is lost or poorly managed, it becomes impossible to check subsequent communication results or processing progress. Furthermore, in a storage-type image transmitting device that temporarily stores image information read from a document in a storage device and then transmits the image information, it becomes impossible to change or cancel the stored image information.

Second, since the reception report is issued using an image recording device that prints and records received image information, the consumption of recording paper for image recording increases.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides convenience in message management without imposing on the user the trouble of managing one reception report and without increasing consumption of recording paper. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an image transmitting device capable of transmitting images.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention manages image information read from originals fed one by one with management information, and manages the image information to which this management information is attached. Along with sending the
This system has a configuration in which management information is printed and recorded on a manuscript of image information to which management information is attached.

According to the present invention, with the above-described configuration, the management information is recorded on the transmitted manuscript, so that the management information can be known directly from the manuscript without using an image recording device to issue a reception report. Therefore, it is possible to provide convenience in message management without burdening the user with the trouble of managing reception reports and without increasing consumption of recording paper.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an image transmitting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 10 is a document, 12 is a paper feed roller that feeds the document 10 one by one, and 14 is a document feed roller. ,
16 is a fluorescent lamp as a light source that illuminates the front surface 10a of the original 10; 18 is an optical lens that forms an image of the illuminated front surface 10a of the original; □□□ captures the image formed by the lens 18. CCD (charge-coupled device), n is a serial dot printer unit that prints on the back side 10b of the document 10, sae is a document ejection roller, an opening reading control unit,
The fat is the data compression unit that encodes the image information read by the CCD 20 and the reading control unit, I is the modem, and the proverb is NC.
U (network control unit) refers to communication lines such as public telephone lines and dedicated facsimile lines; is the operation section.

Here, the system control section A is configured using a microcircuit-based general-purpose information processing so-called microcomputer, and manages the image information read from the document 10 by attaching management information such as a reception number.

In addition, the image information with management information attached to modem I and N
It is sent to each line via the CU 32 or the like.

Furthermore, by controlling the serial dot printer unit ρ, which is a recording device, the management information is printed and recorded on the back side 10b of the original of the image information to which the management information has been attached.

The storage section operates under the control of the system control section 36 and temporarily stores image information read from the original document 10 and attached with management information. The image information stored in the storage unit 38 is read out according to the management information and sent to a designated destination, or undergoes editing processing such as content change or cancellation.

The operation of the image transmitting apparatus configured as described above will be described below.

In FIG. 1, a document 10 is fed in the sub-scanning direction by a feed roller 12 or the like. The C0D 20 and the reading control unit scan and read the image of the fed document lO in the main scanning direction. The read image information is encoded by the data compression section, and then management information such as a reception number is attached. As a result, the image information is managed and processed using the management information.

The image information with management information attached thereto is either directly transmitted or temporarily stored in the storage section according to operation information from the operation section 40.

If the image information is directly transmitted, each time the image information for one document is sent, the serial dot printer unit B will manage it on the back side 10b of the document 10 that is ejected after receiving the transmission. Information will be printed.

In addition, when the image information is once stored, each time the storage of the image information for one document is completed, the back side 10b of the document 10 is ejected after the storage is completed by the serial dot printer 22. Management information is printed on.

FIG. 2 shows an example of printed management information attached to a document 10 of image information that has been sent or stored.

In the printing example shown in the figure, a management number 42 that is updated for each document is printed as management information.

By recording the management information on the transmitted document as described above, it becomes possible to know the management information directly from the document IO without issuing a reception report using an image recording device. This makes it possible to conveniently manage messages without burdening the user with the trouble of managing reception reports and without increasing consumption of recording paper. Further, even in a transmission-only device that does not have an image recording device for printing and recording received images, management information can be attached to each document 10 to facilitate message management. Additionally, there is a serial dot that records management information.
Since the printer unit n only needs to be able to print management information consisting of letters, numbers, etc., it can be constructed very simply and compactly compared to those for image recording.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention manages image information read from originals fed one by one by adding management information, and transmits image information with this management information attached. At the same time, by printing and recording the management information on the image information manuscript to which the management information has been attached, the management information is recorded on the transmitted manuscript, and the manuscript can be sent without issuing a reception report using an image recording device. Since it becomes possible to know the management information directly from the user, it is possible to bring about the convenience of message management without burdening the user with the trouble of managing reception reports and without increasing the consumption of recording paper. This has the effect of making it possible.
