Abstract

PURPOSE:To check transmission abnormality on the transmission side in advance according to printed-out records by reading a transmitting original, storing it in a memory, printing out the read original data and transmitting it afterwards. CONSTITUTION:In a normal transmission mode, the original is set to an original read part 7, the transmission button of an operation part 9 is pushed to connect the equipment to a line after inputting the phone number of a transmitting destination by a dial part 3, and the original is transmitted while being read by the read part 7. In a confirmation transmission mode, the original is set, and the read original data is temporarily stored in an original storage part 6 and simultaneously printed out by a recording part 8. This printed-out record is checked and when the result is satisfactory, the phone number is inputted. Then, by instructing memory transmission at the operation part 9, the original data is transmitted. Thus, abnormality on the transmission side can be checked in advance, and high-reliability transmission is enabled.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile transmission method, and more particularly to a facsimile transmission method in which a document is stored in a memory and then transmitted.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art When a facsimile machine is used to send a document to a destination, it is not possible to know the recording result of the document at the destination. It is clear that if there are no problems with the facsimile machines and lines on the sending and receiving sides, a normal document can be obtained on the receiving side.

However, due to various reasons, it may not be possible to receive and record a normal original on the receiving side. The causes of deterioration of the image quality of the original recorded on the receiving side can be broadly classified into the sending side, the line, and the receiving side, but even if the cause is on the sending side, as mentioned above, the situation of the received original is not transmitted. Since it is not possible for the sender to know about it, even if it is a phenomenon that the sender can be aware of, it often continues without them knowing.

[0004] For example, even if there are abnormalities that can be avoided if the sending side notices them, such as the tilt of the original when inserting the document, incorrect selection of the fine mode, dirt on the reading section, etc., the sending side may send the original without knowing it. Sometimes.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a facsimile transmission method in which the transmitting side can check the quality of the image to be transmitted before transmitting it. The purpose is to provide the following.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a facsimile transmission method in which scanned original data is stored in a memory and then transmitted, which is characterized in that the original is read, stored in the memory, and then printed out. It is something.

Embodiment FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram for explaining a facsimile apparatus applied to an embodiment of the facsimile transmission method of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is the line, 2 is the line control unit,
3 is a dial section, 4 is a ROM that stores programs and fixed information, 5 is a RAM, 6 is a document storage section, 7 is a document reading section, 8 is a recording section, 9 is an operation section, and 10 is in charge of overall control of these. This is the main control unit (CPU). The manuscript storage section 6 is
The RAM 5 may also be used.

[0008] The line control unit 2 can connect to the line 1 by dialing the dial unit 3 and dialing a telephone number. The document reading section 7 reads the document set in the facsimile machine, and based on the selection of the operation mode from the operation section 10, the document reading section 7 reads the document at the same time as the reading, or stores the read data in the document storage section 6. You can also send it after doing so.

This facsimile machine has a confirmation transmission mode in addition to a normal transmission mode. Of course, time-specified transmission, broadcast transmission, etc. may also be included.

In the normal transmission mode, the facsimile machine is connected to the line by setting the original on the original reading section 7, inputting the dial number of the recipient using the dial section 3, and then pressing the transmission button on the operation section 9. The transmission is then performed while the original is being read by the original reading unit 7.

[0011] The confirmation transmission mode is used when the quality of the image to be transmitted is important, or when it is desired to check the transmission status as appropriate. When a document is set and this mode is selected, the read document data is temporarily stored in the document storage section 8. At the same time, the read original data is printed out by the recording section 8. It is possible to check whether or not the document has been properly read by using the printed-out recording paper. If the result is good,
The stored manuscript data can be transmitted by inputting the dial number and instructing the user to perform memory transmission using the operation unit 9. If the recording condition of the printed paper is found to be poor, the operation section 9
In response to an instruction from the user, the memory in the original storage unit 5 is erased and the original is read again.

[0012] A copy mode may also be provided. In this mode, by setting an original on the original reading section 7 and operating the start button on the operation section 9, the read original data can be printed out as is in the recording section 8, and the original can be copied.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart for explaining an embodiment of the present invention using the facsimile machine of FIG. The flow starts when the original is set in the original reading section. Steps 1 to 3 are looped to wait for an instruction from the operation unit. After entering the destination phone number, press the start button to select the normal sending mode. In this mode, the process proceeds from Step 1 to Step 4, where a facsimile transmission procedure is performed, and in Step 5, the inserted original is read while the original data is transmitted, and upon completion of this, the flow ends.

[0014] If you press the start button without entering a phone number, the copy mode is selected and Step 2 to Step
Move to p6. In Step 6, copying is performed by outputting the read original data to the recording section.

In the confirmation transmission mode, by inserting a document and pressing, for example, a button labeled "confirmation transmission" on the operation section, the process exits the above-mentioned loop from Step 4 and proceeds to Step 7. The original data read in Steps 7 and 8 is stored in the original storage unit, and the original data is printed out from the recording unit, that is, copied. When all the originals are stored in the original storage unit and copying is completed, the next instruction is awaited in Step 9. If the operator determines that the copy is normal, the operator presses the start button to move from Step 9 to Step 10 to perform the facsimile transmission procedure, and in Step 11, the data stored in the original storage unit is transmitted, that is, memory transmission is performed. , its termination ends the flow.

If there is an abnormality in the copy, for example, by pressing the cancel button, Step 9 to Step 1 can be canceled.
2, the accumulation of the document data in the document storage section is erased, and the flow ends. If the abnormality can be recovered, reinsert the document and read it again.

[0017] If the abnormality occurs only in some pages, after inputting the page number, read the inserted page and use the page number as an address.
The document storage unit may also be updated.

[0018] Further, the printout that is performed while storing the original data in this mode may be such that the data once stored in the memory is read out, decoded, and then printed out. By doing so, it is possible to check for abnormalities during encoding.

[0019]

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to confirm the image to be transmitted before transmitting it, and therefore it is possible to check for abnormalities on the transmitting side before transmitting. This has the effect of allowing highly reliable facsimile transmission.
