Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the waste of the recording forms by providing an operating function to discontinue the printing/recording operations in a reception state. CONSTITUTION:In a normal reception state, the code data received from a line are restored into the picture data by a decoding part 3 and printed/recorded at a printing part 5 via a recording switch control part 4. If an operator pushes a button to discontinue the recording operation in a reception state, the push of the button is detected by a control part 2 via an operating part 1. Thus the part 2 gives an instruction to the part 4 to discontinue the printing/recording operation. Thus the part 4 does not transfer the data received from the part 3 to the part 5 and disuses continuously these data. Such a series of operations enable an operator of the reception side to discontinue the printing/recording operations at the operator's will.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine that controls the operation of printed records during reception.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional facsimile machines, the receiving side cannot cancel recording operations during communication, and all data for one communication from the transmitting side is always printed and recorded on recording paper.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional facsimile machine always prints the data for one communication on recording paper even if the recipient finds out that the information is completely unnecessary during reception. As a result, recording paper was wasted.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] A facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes an operation section having a switch that is operated during communication, a control section that detects that the switch is operated, and a control section that detects when coded data from a line is decoded. a decoding unit that outputs image data, a printing unit that prints out the image data on recording paper, and a recording switching control that causes the printing unit to stop outputting the print when the control unit detects an operation of the switch. It has a department.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 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.

[0006] This embodiment includes an operation section 1 including a push button for stopping the recording operation, a control section 2 for controlling the entire apparatus,
A decoding unit 3 that restores coded data arriving from a line to image data, a recording switching control unit 4 that switches printing on recording paper, and a printing unit 5 that prints image data on recording paper.
It is composed of:

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. In the case of a normal reception operation, coded data arriving from the line is restored to image data by the decoding section 3, and is printed and recorded by the printing section 5 via the recording switching control section 4. If the operator presses the button to stop the recording operation during reception,
Pressing of a push button is detected by the control unit 2 via the operation unit 1,
The control section 2 issues an instruction to the recording switching control section 4 to stop print recording. Receiving the instruction, the recording switching control section 4 continues the operation of discarding the data coming from the decoding section 3 without passing it to the printing section 5. Through this series of operations, the operator on the receiving side can stop print recording at will during reception.

[0008]

As described above, the present invention has the effect of preventing wasteful consumption of recording paper by providing an operation function that allows printing to be stopped during reception.
