Abstract

PURPOSE:To save the waste of cut paper by thinning the print of continuous all-white lines at a constant ratio, and printing a prescribed white line and not printing another white line when a prescribed number of all-white lines are continued. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 1 inspects whether or not a line is the all-white line, and when the prescribed (for three) number of lines are continued, all-white information in first two lines out of three lines are stored in page memory 6, and no information in a remaining one line. The CPU 1 writes the number of lines with length A4 on the page memory 6 as continuing the inspection of the all-white line. The CPU 1 transmits the leading and ending addresses of the memory 6 to an address generation circuit 9, and also, starts up a printer 8, and instructs the start of print at a time when the printer 8 is set in a printable state. The circuit 9 generates an address in which data to be outputted is stored based on address information received previously. The memory 6 sends stored data to the printer 8 via a printer interface 7 according to the designation of the address from the circuit 9, and image information is recorded on a cut sheet 10 for recording.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a facsimile machine using cut paper.

Conventional technology Traditionally, facsimile machines use roll paper as recording paper, and roll paper has no length limit, so even if image information of a non-standard length is received, the cutting position of the roll paper can be adjusted. It was possible to deal with it by doing this.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such conventional facsimile machines that use cut paper, when image information that is longer than the attached cut paper is sent, it must be reduced or divided into multiple sheets. 1. , 4. Also, send the station name and number of pages to be sent at the beginning of the image information at the transmitting station! :
': (If ' is added two times, the output will be as shown in Figure 2) As it becomes longer, as shown in Figure 0, the frequent use of divided printing increases, consuming a large amount of 4.2 knots, which is the problem.

The present invention solves the following problem 4: 4). The aim is to prevent the consumption of wasted cut sets due to split printing on the side. In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the present invention uses a CPL, J, which controls direct transmission, and transmits data over public lines 4 to 5.-41.

The above explains the mutual relationship and operation of each component in 4.

Figure 4 shows an example of receiving (FW image information). Figure 2 shows an example of a transmitted original, and the output image is It is obtained as shown in Figure 3.

In this way, according to the facsimile machine of the first embodiment,
For example, when there are three all-white lines in a row, the first two lines are left and the last one is thinned out, so that the waste of cut paper is reduced.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The configuration of the device is similar to that shown in FIG. Therefore, description of each block will be omitted.

After the line interface 5 detects a call from the transmitting station via the public line, the necessary facsimile procedure signals are sent and received and a protocol is established. Then, the analog facsimile signal from the transmitting station is received by the modem 4, and the digital Convert it to a signal, then transfer it to RAM3 via the CPUI.
Write the image signal in compressed form to. At the same time, the compressed image signal stored in the RAM 3 is expanded into an image by the CPU and stored in the page memory 6. At that time, the CPU
I checks whether or not all white lines are present, and if all white lines are a predetermined number (for example, 77 lines, 2 scanning lines with a density of 7.7 lines/-, 10
(equivalent to 100%) or more, the subsequent all-white lines are not stored in the page memory 6, and storage of expanded data in the page memory 6 is restarted when the line becomes a non-all-white line. C
The PUI further writes the number of A4 length lines (2287 lines, scanning line density 7.7 lines/wa) into the page memory 6 while continuing to inspect all white lines. CPU
1 transmits the start address and end address of the page memory 6 where expanded data is stored to the address generation circuit 9, and also starts the printer 8 and starts the printer 8 when the printer 8 becomes ready for printing. Instructs to start stamping. The address generation circuit 9 generates an address where data to be output is stored based on the previously received address information. The page memory 6 sends the stored data to the printer 8 via the printer interface 7 according to the address designation from the address generation circuit 9, and the image information is recorded on the recording cut sheet 10. FIG. 4 shows an example of received image information. FIG. 4 shows an example of a transmitted original, and the output image is obtained as shown in FIG.

In this way, according to the facsimile machine of the second embodiment,
When all white lines are continuous, a predetermined number of white lines are printed and the other white lines are not printed, so that the waste of cut paper is reduced.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, printing is thinned out at a certain ratio for continuous all-white lines, and when a predetermined number or more of all-white lines are continuous, Since the arrangement is such that the white line is printed and the other white lines are not printed, it is possible to provide a facsimile machine that does not waste cut paper.
