Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a facsimile device.

In recent facsimile devices, prior to transmitting a document, sender information consisting of the department where the transmitter is installed, for example, company name or department name, is stored in the memory of the transmitter. There is a system in which the sender is displayed on the receiving paper that receives the information by transmitting the information together with the image information.

However, if there is an error in the content of the sender information, an incorrect sender will be displayed to the receiver, which may cause confusion.

The present invention aims to solve the above problem, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the receiving section of a facsimile machine, in which a rolled receiving paper 1 is placed on a platen roller 2.
A record is printed on the surface by the print head 3 which is pulled out by the roller 1 and pressed against the roller 1. When the receiving paper 1 is a thermal recording paper, the head 3 is a thermal head.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a part of this facsimile device, where 4 is a keyboard, and 5 is a sender information memory that stores sender information, such as the name of the company that installed the facsimile device, in the form of a character code. be. 6 is an address setting device for setting an address for the source information memory, and 7 is a printer including the print head 3, platen roller 2, and a driving device thereof. 8 is line counter, 9
is a font memory that stores a large number of character groups as a collection of many dots that indicate each character in white or black, and outputs the corresponding character as a pattern signal that is a series of the above dots according to a specified address. . Reference numeral 10 denotes a font address setting device for setting the address of the font memory 9 in accordance with each output from the image generating device 11 and the line counter, which will be described later. The image generating device 11 is actually a CPU, which sends a signal to the address setting device 6 according to a predetermined input from the keyboard 4.
The address setting device 6 converts the signal into a predetermined address signal and reads out the source information from the source information memory 5. The read source information as a character code is converted by a line counter 8 and a font address setting device 10 into an address signal for each line of characters corresponding to the character code,
The font memory 9 is set by the address signal. The characters read from the font memory 9 are recorded on the receiving paper 1 of the facsimile apparatus by the print head 3 in the printer 7, resulting in characters as shown in FIG.

In other words, this facsimile device uses the sender information extracted from the sender information memory 5 by a predetermined input operation from the input key 4, whereas in the past, the sender information was only used along with the image information during transmission. This allows the information to be displayed on the receiving paper provided in the facsimile machine. Therefore, on the transmitter side, it is possible to check whether there are any mistakes in the content of the above source information.
You can send manuscripts with peace of mind.

In addition, if the receiving paper 1 is set incorrectly in Fig. 1 and the front and back sides are reversed as shown by the broken line 1a, the above-mentioned error can be corrected by checking the sender information as described above. Can be discovered. In other words, when the receiving paper 1 is a thermal recording paper, the back side of the receiving paper does not develop color, so if the sender information is not displayed even after performing the above-described predetermined input operation, it means that the receiving paper 1 has been set incorrectly.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily check the sender information on the transmitter side, and it is convenient because communication errors can be prevented.
