Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] In transmission mode, when you want to add corrections to the transmission content and send it, you can enter postscript data and send it following the facsimile transmission. To provide a facsimile device with a postscript function capable of easily transmitting a postscript message without the need for a postscript message. [Structure] When it is desired to send a postscript message in the transmission mode, when the postscript message is inputted using the key panel 4, the data is displayed on the liquid crystal display 5. Further, this data is transmitted following facsimile transmission by the microcomputer 6 which controls transmission according to a predetermined procedure.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention is a postscript function that is used when you want to add corrections to the transmitted content and send it. The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having a facsimile machine.

0002

[Conventional technology]

With conventional facsimile machines, slight errors occur in the content while transmitting data. Notice that there is a problem and will correct it (hereinafter, this is a postscript message) ), prepare a separate piece of paper and use a writing utensil to write it on the paper. It was necessary to fill out the correspondence and send the form again by fax.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, with conventional facsimiles like the ones mentioned above, slight errors occur during transmission mode. If you notice a mistake, get another piece of paper and use a writing utensil to correct the mistake. You need to make corrections and send the paper again by fax, which is time-consuming. It was. This invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and in transmission mode, the character data for postscript is Select and enter the data using the facsimile key panel, and then send the facsimile. You can easily send postscript messages without the need for paper or writing utensils. The aim is to provide a facsimile machine with a postscript function that can send target

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

To achieve the above purpose, the present invention sends a P.S. message during sending mode. A P.S. reservation/sender who makes a reservation to do something and sends the message data. Then, enter the data for the postscript message into this postscript reservation/transmission method. input means, and a device for displaying data when data is input from this data input means. and data display means.

[0005]

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, when you want to send a P.S. message in send mode, the P.S. When a message is input using the data input means, the data is displayed on the data display means. Displayed by Furthermore, this data is entered into the postscript reservation/transmission means and By operating the steps, the message data can be sent by facsimile transmission. Sent.

【Example】

Below is a drawing of an embodiment of a facsimile machine with a postscript function according to the present invention. I will explain using FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of this facsimile machine. The facsimile machine 1 reads the original 2a. It then converts this into an electrical signal and transmits it to the other party via a communication circuit. this Facsimile main body 1 has a function for reserving and transmitting a postscript message during FAX transmission. A postscript button 3 is provided. Additionally, a key for entering a P.S. message Panel 4 and character data for postscript entered from this key panel 4 are displayed. A liquid crystal display 5 is provided for this purpose.

[0007] FIG. 2 shows the block functional configuration of this device. This device performs transmission control according to a predetermined procedure. A microcomputer 6 that performs the transmission and an image that reads the original to be sent and processes the signal. image sensor 7, a printer 8 that records image data from the received signal, and a P.S. key panel 4 for inputting postscript data, and from this key panel 4 It consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD) 5 that displays input postscript data. difference In addition, this device has a network control unit (NCU) with a built-in modem. It is connected to a communication line 10 via 9. With the above P.S. button 3 and microcomputer 6. The postscript reservation/transmission means for reserving and transmitting postscript message data is configured. will be accomplished.

[0008] FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the postscript function of this apparatus. The facsimile body 1 always detects that the P.S. button 3 is pressed during transmission. It is checked whether there is an output REQ for postscript data that will be output at the same time (#1). Postscript data can be entered at any time from key panel 4, and its contents are stored in memory. Store it in the buffer. Press the P.S. button 3 to display the P.S. data output REQ flag. I'm trying to make sure that I'm standing up. If the P.S. button 3 is pressed while sending the original, then For points, the P.S. data output REQ flag is set, but no data is output, and the original After the transmission is completed, check the REQ flag and if the flag is set, the transmission is completed. Following the original document, the postscript data stored in the memory buffer is transmitted (#2). Next, the postscript data output REQ is cleared (#3). After that, the fax transmission ends. Check to see if it has been completed (#4), and if not, return to #1. On the other hand, output P.S. data with #1 If there is no REQ, check if there is a manuscript for fax transmission (#5), and if there is a manuscript Perform normal FAX transmission operation (#6) and proceed to #4. I don't have a document to send by fax. If so, proceed to #7, check if the timer is up, and if the timer is up, send the fax. If the timer is not up, the process returns to #1 and the same operation is repeated. Na Oh, when P.S. button 3 is pressed while sending a fax and waiting for the next document. The postscript data is sent as is.

[0009] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the transmitting side and the receiving side when the postscript function is activated. Now, the first page of document 2a sent by fax from the sender is the character data string "Aiue". "O", and the P.S. data is the character string "Kaki Suppose that you input "Kukeko" and turn on the P.S. button 3 while sending the first image. do Then, on the receiving side, a P.S. The character data string "Kakikukeko" is output on the paper 2b. In this way, A postscript message can be sent with a simple operation while data is being sent.

0010

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, postscript data can be reserved for postscript using the data input means. ・Enter this in the transmission method and send it following normal data transmission during fax transmission. Therefore, you can use only the facsimile machine itself without using writing utensils etc. You can easily send postscript message data using .
