JPH0239765A - Both-face original transmitting system for facsimile equipment - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmits a both-face original as a single face original as it is by pinching an original paper with an original reader, simultaneously reading the both surfaces of the original paper, and judging whether or not data exist on the rear surface. CONSTITUTION:A both-face original reader consists of an original reader 1 to read the front surface of the original paper, and an original reader 2 to read the rear surface of the original paper, and they pinches an original paper 3. As soon as the both-face original is read, the transmission of the front surface original data is started. Simultaneously, the original data on the rear surface are transferred to a memory. When the transmission of the front surface is completed, since the transfer of the rear surface original data is simultaneously completed, the memory is checked at such a time, and whether or not the rear surface original data exist is checked. When the rear surface original data exist, the rear surface original data are fetched from the memory, and transmitted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a five-sided original in a facsimile machine.

(Prior Art) Conventional facsimile machines read and transmit only one side of a document.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional facsimile machines cannot handle documents that have text and other information written on both sides of the paper, that is, double-sided documents.
Documents can only be read on one side of the document, so in order to send a double-sided document using a conventional facsimile machine, you must copy either side of the double-sided document and align it as a single-sided document before sending it. It has the disadvantage that it cannot be used.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Means provided by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems are as follows:
means for simultaneously reading information on the front and back sides of a manuscript paper; a memory for temporarily storing information on the back side read by the reading means; A means for determining whether or not there is written information, and transmitting the information on the front surface read by the reading means, and when the determining means determines that there is a document written on the back side, the information on the front side is transmitted from the memory. This is a double-sided document transmission method for a facsimile machine, characterized in that information on the back side is read out and the information on the back side is transmitted subsequent to the transmission of the information on the front side.

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

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the sequence of operations in one embodiment of the present invention. First, in step 10, reading of data on both sides of the JM manuscript is started.

To read data from both sides of a document, a double-sided document reading device shown in FIG. 2 is used. This double-sided document reading device consists of a document reader 1 that reads the front side of a document sheet and a document reader 2 that reads the back side of the document sheet, and a document sheet 3 is sandwiched between the two. Simultaneously with the reading in step 20, transmission of the front side document data is started in step 20.At the same time as the transmission of the front side MB data is started, in step 30, the transfer of the back side document data to the memory is started.

When the transmission of the front side is completed in step 40, the transfer of the back side original data to the memory is also completed, so the memory is checked at this time to check whether there is back side original data or not. If the memory is checked and there is back-side original data, that is, if it is a double-sided original, the back-side original data is retrieved from the memory and transmitted. After sending the back side original, suck in the next original. If it is determined in step 50 that there is no backside document data, that is, if it is a one-sided document, the next document is sucked.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, by holding the manuscript paper with a manuscript reader and simultaneously reading both sides of the manuscript paper to determine whether there is data on the back side, Whether it is a single-sided original or a single-sided original, it can be sent as is without the need for a person to prepare the single-sided original in advance, and the time for preparation before transmission can be shortened.

Claims (1)

[Claims] means for simultaneously reading information on the front and back sides of a manuscript; a memory for temporarily storing information on the back side read by the reading means; A means for determining whether or not a document is written on the front side, and transmitting information on the front side read by the reading means, and when the determining means determines that there is a document written on the back side, the information on the back side is read from the memory. A double-sided document transmission method for a facsimile machine, characterized in that information is read out and, following transmission of the information on the front side, information on the back side is transmitted.
