Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a once read original usable for both copying and facsimile transmission by transmitting original information accumulated in a storing section to transmitted facsimile equipment after outputting the information on recording paper by printing. CONSTITUTION:When facsimile transmission plus copying is selected, the telephone number of transmitted facsimile equipment and required number of copies are inputted from an operating section 6 and original information accumulated in a storing section 3 is read out to an encoding/decoding section 2 and, at the same time, the information is again written in the section 3. Then, after the read-out data are recorded on a required number of sheets of recording paper by means of a printing section 5, the data again written in the section 3 are transmitted to the transmitted facsimile equipment after the facsimile equipment is called and connected by means of a communication controlling section 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine that stores and transmits information read from a document.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of facsimile machine, after setting a document, the user inputs the telephone number of the other party to send the facsimile, or selects a copy mode and inputs the required number of copies to make copies.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional facsimile machine, the information read from the original and stored is processed in only one mode, either facsimile transmission mode or copy mode, so when you want to copy and send facsimile, you have to do it twice. The disadvantage is that the original must be scanned.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes an operation section for specifying the number of copies of a document to be transmitted, a scanner section for outputting document information read from the document, and a storage section for storing the encoded document information. a communication control unit that transmits the most northerly document information according to a communication procedure; a print unit that prints out the document information read from the storage unit onto recording paper according to the number of sheets specified by the operation unit; and a control section that causes the document information to be transmitted when printing of a copy is completed.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

This embodiment includes an operation section 6 for specifying the number of copies of a document to be transmitted, a scanner section 1 for outputting document information read from the document, and an encoding/decoding section 2 for encoding the document information from the scanner section 1. , a storage section 3 that stores encoded document information, a communication control section 4 that transmits the document information according to the communication procedure, and a communication control section 4 that transmits the document information read from the storage section 3 according to the number of sheets specified on the operation section 6. It is configured to include a print section 5 that prints out information on recording paper, and a control section 7 that causes the stored document information to be transmitted when the print section 5 finishes printing.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

The operation unit 6 selects one of mode A: facsimile transmission, mode B: facsimile transmission and copy, and mode C: copy according to the operation designation (step 12).

If mode A facsimile transmission is selected, the telephone number of the other party's facsimile device is input from the operation unit 6 in step 13.14. In steps 19 to 21, the document information read by the scanner section 1 is encoded by the encoding/decoding section 2 and stored in the storage section 3.

In steps 22 and 23, the communication control unit 4 calls the previously input destination telephone number, and when it is confirmed that the line is connected, the encoded manuscript information is read out from the storage unit 3. It is transmitted by the communication control unit 4.

If mode B, facsimile transmitter copying, is selected, in step 1.5.16, the telephone number of the other party's facsimile machine and the required number of copies are input from the operation unit 6. In steps 26 and 27, the original information stored in the storage section 3 is read out to the encoding/decoding section 2, and at the same time written again to the storage section 3, and the read data is printed and recorded by the print section 5 for the required number of copies. . In steps 24 and 25, the data written in the storage unit 3 is transferred to the communication control unit 4.
is sent to the connected facsimile machine.

If you select mode C copy, step 17.1
At step 8, after setting the original, the required number of copies is input using the operation section 6. In steps 28 and 29, the original information from the storage section 3 is decoded, and the printing section 5 prints out the required number of copies.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention prints out the original information stored in the storage unit on recording paper and then sends it to the other party's facsimile machine, so that a copy can be made with a single reading operation, and the facsimile It also has the effect of being able to send data.
