Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily extract a specific document by adding blank to received recording paper of a 1st page when a document is received and automatically cutting off the recording paper. CONSTITUTION:After the end of reception of a 1st page, a mechanism control section 13 drives a reception mechanism section 17 for a prescribed time by a command of a main control section 12, adds a blank part of a prescribed length to a 1st page of the received recording paper, an automatic cutter section 18 cuts off the 1st page of the received recording paper, and discharges the paper to a recording paper stack section 19. After the print of the received recording of a 2nd and succeeding pages is finished, a mechanism control section 13 cuts off the recording paper as it is without giving a blank by a command of the main control section 12. Thus, when the operator searches a specific received document from the received documents coming from several locations, the 1st page being the front cover is easily confirmed and the object document is extracted in a short time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having an automatic receiving function, and has a function of cutting received recording paper page by page. The present invention relates to a facsimile device characterized in that an extra recording paper is added only to the eyes.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of facsimile machine simply cuts the received recording paper to the length of all pages received. In other words, when the sending side sends multiple sheets of A4 size originals, all the received recording sheets are cut to the length of the A4 size paper.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional facsimile machine described above, when received documents received from several sending terminals are stacked in the recording paper stack section in recording order, when the operator takes out a specific received document from among them, the received documents are all stacked. The drawback is that it is necessary to check the pages and find the first page, which is the cover of the reception record sheet.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile machine of the present invention automatically cuts the received recording paper page by page, and by ejecting and cutting the first page with extra recording paper, the operator can cut the received document from several locations. When searching for a specific received document, it has the advantage that the first page, which is the cover, can be easily checked and the desired document can be retrieved in a short time.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 10 is a line control section, 11 is a recording control section, 1
2 is a main control section, 13 is a mechanism control section, 14 is a record printing section,
15 is a document reading section, 16 is a transmitting mechanism section, 17 is a receiving mechanism section, 18 is an automatic cutter section, and 19 is a recording paper stack section.

First, the line control unit 10 detects a calling signal from the telephone line, and this device automatically receives the call. When a facsimile procedure signal is sent from the sending terminal, the main control unit 12 executes the communication procedure and the first page is displayed. Start receiving manuscript information. Then, according to instructions from the main control section 12, the mechanism control section 13 drives the reception mechanism section 17 to start discharging the recording paper, and also instructs the recording control section 11 to print the received data by the recording/printing section 14. After the reception of the first page is completed, the mechanism control section 13 drives the reception mechanism section 17 for a certain period of time according to the instructions from the main control section 12, and after adding a margin of a certain length to the reception recording paper of the first page, In response to instructions from the mechanism control section 13, the automatic cutter section 18 cuts the first page of the received recording paper and discharges it to the recording paper stack section 19. After the printing of the second and subsequent pages of received recording paper is completed, the mechanism control section 13 cuts them as they are without adding any margins, according to instructions from the main control section 12.

When the communication ends, the device returns to the standby state.

If a call signal is detected again in the standby state, the above operation is repeated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention adds margins and automatically cuts the received recording paper only to the first page when a document is received from a sending terminal. This has the effect that a specific document can be easily retrieved.
