Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for transmission after a content of a file is printed out on paper on each transmission by generating a dot image from codes used in an electronic file such as a text file and a data file. CONSTITUTION:Since a file such as a text file and a data file is stored in terms of codes used for a computer, an image data generator 4 converting the codes into a dot image converts the codes into a image data and the data is sent from a transmitter 7 via an image data storage device 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to facsimile (FAX).

[Conventional technology]

Traditional fax machines convert text written on paper into image data before sending it, so in order to send text entered on a word processor or the contents of a host file using fax,
- I had to send what was printed on scrap paper by fax. Also, since it is not possible to register or synthesize sentences that have been converted to image data, each sentence written on paper is corrected.

I made the changes and sent them by fax.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, fax has the disadvantage that it only sends images written on paper, so it is necessary to directly handle text files and data files as input media for fax, and it is also possible to maintain and correct the sent text. The problem is that I can't do it either.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile machine of the present invention includes an image data creation device that converts a text file made up of character codes into an image take made up of tod images, an image data registration device that registers the image data created by the image data creation device, and an image data registration device that registers the image data created by the image data creation device. The image data editing device includes an image data editing device that corrects and changes image data registered in the device, and a transmitting device that transmits the image data registered in the image data registration device or the image data converted by the image data creation device. ing.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a FAX transmitter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The text written on paper is transmitted from the reading device 2 via the image data storage device 3 to the transmitting device 7, similar to conventional FAX. Files such as text files and data files are stored in codes used within the computer, so after converting these codes into image data by an image data creation device 4 that converts them into dot images, they are converted to image data via an image data storage device 3. and is transmitted by the transmitting device 7.

Furthermore, files such as sentences written on paper and text files with registration instructions are registered in the image data registration device 5. This registered image data can be corrected, changed, etc. by the image data editing device 6.

What is stored at the same time in the image data registration device 5 is
Can be sent again.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The FAX according to the present invention provides the following effects.

1. By creating a dot image from the code used in electronic files such as text files and cheat files, any file can be directly handled as fax transmission data, so the contents of each file can be output on paper. There is no need to send it.

2. Since a file such as a Cheetah file can be directly used as an input medium for FAX, there is no need to install a special terminal device to receive the processing results of the post-combi coater or answers to inquiries, and equipment costs can be significantly reduced.

3. It is possible to shorten the text reading time by registering fixed text.

4. Even if a part of the text written on the paper is revised each time it is sent, there is no need to correct the content of the paper each time and read it again.
