Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a telephone set and a facsimile equipment efficiently by designating a time set in the automatic call arrival mode in the unit of years, months and weeks and displaying the designation information. CONSTITUTION:An operation panel 1 outputs information of year, month, day and time entered by key entry in the unit of weeks as designated information as to an automatic incoming call set in the facsimile automatic incoming mode. A control section 2 stores the designated information from the operation panel to a memory 4 and controls the setting of changeover to the automatic incoming mode according to the designation information stored in the memory 4. A list output section 4 prints out a list of the designation information read from the memory 4 by the control section 2.

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine in which the time at which an automatic call receiving mode is set can be specified by operation.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, with this type of facsimile machine, the ability to specify the time to set the automatic facsimile reception mode has been limited, so it is possible to arbitrarily set the switching time between weekdays and weekends, between weekdays and holidays, and between public holidays. I couldn't.

0003

The above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus has a drawback in that the automatic switching time to the incoming call mode cannot be changed from month to month depending on weekdays, holidays, and public holidays.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes an operation panel that outputs, as specified information, the year, month, day, and time at which the automatic reception mode of the facsimile is set, which is inputted by an operation, and that stores the specified information. It has a memory, a control section that sets the automatic call reception mode according to the stored specified information, and a list output section that displays and outputs the contents of the specified information.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an automatic incoming call timer switching list of this embodiment. Figure 1
In this case, the operation panel 1 outputs the year, month, day, and time inputted by key operation regarding the automatic incoming call set in the facsimile automatic incoming mode as weekly specification information. The control unit 2 stores designation information from the operation panel in the memory 4, and controls settings for switching to automatic call receiving mode according to the designation information stored in the memory 4. List output 3 is
The control unit 2 displays and outputs a list of specified information read from the memory 4.

[0006] With this arrangement, the time for automatic incoming call timer switching is specified by key operation on the operation panel 1, and the control unit 2
The specified information is managed in the memory 4. Also, operation panel 1
When a list output operation of designation information for automatic arrival timer switching is performed by key operation, the control unit 2 causes the list output unit 3 to display the contents of the memory 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the display contents of the output unit 3 are such that in the automatic call reception timer switching list, automatic call reception times are set for Mondays to Sundays, the 26th of each month, and public holidays.

[0007]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention allows the user to distinguish between using a telephone and a facsimile by specifying the time when the automatic call receiving mode is set in year, month, day, and week units, and by displaying and outputting the specified information. It can be done efficiently.
