Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform the generation of jam of originals at the transmitting side to the receiving side by describing the generation of the jam at the transmitting side in originals to be outputted to the receiving side. CONSTITUTION:When an original jam detecting means 10 detects an original jam, a sentence adding means 12 reads out a prescribed sentence from a sentence storing means 11, adds the read sentence to an original to be transmitted and sends the sentence to the receiving side. And, a jam information signal sending means 18 sends an information signal when the means 10 detects the jam and a sentence adding means 12 on the receiving side receiving the information signal adds a sentence to the received original and prints out the sentence.

/PIN signal sending circuit 9 is instructed to send a PIP/PIN signal. On the transmitting side, the PIP/PIN signal is detected by a PIP/PIN signal detection circuit 4, and a pseudo-bell sound is generated via a pseudo-bell sound generating circuit 5 to call the operator on the transmitting side.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the conventional facsimile apparatus is constructed as described above, when a document jam occurs on the sending side, it is not possible to notify the receiving side of any abnormality. When a document jam occurs on the sending side, the receiving side receives a long image as shown in FIG. 6(b) for the original input on the sending side shown in FIG. 6(a), and the receiving side facsimile machine There is a problem in that it is not possible to determine whether an abnormality has occurred in the sending facsimile machine or in the sending facsimile machine.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can notify a receiving side of a document jam on the sending side.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A facsimile device according to the present invention is such that, when a document jam occurs on the sending side, a text indicating that a document jam has occurred is added to image data and sent. be.

[0008] Furthermore, when a document jam occurs on the sending side, if the devices are of the same model, a notification signal indicating that a document jam has occurred is sent out, and the receiving side receives the notification signal and indicates that a document jam has occurred. A text indicating this is added to the image data.

[0009]

According to the present invention, when a document jam occurs on the transmitting side, the receiving side is notified of the occurrence of the document jam by adding a text indicating that the document jam has occurred to the image data to be sent.

[0010] Furthermore, when a document jam occurs on the sending side, only a notification signal indicating that a document jam has occurred is sent if the devices are of the same model, and the receiving side receives the notification signal and the document jam occurs. By adding a text indicating that a document has been jammed to the image data, a receiving side is notified of the occurrence of a document jam without transmitting the image data.

[0011]

【Example】

Example 1. Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a control circuit, 10 is a document jam detection means, 11 is a text storage means for storing texts such as messages, 12 is a text addition means for reading text patterns from the text storage means and adding them to image data, and 13 is a text addition means for reading text patterns from the text storage means and adding them to image data. Reference numeral 14 denotes a document reading means for reading a document, print output means for printing out a received document, etc., 15 an encoding means, 16 a decoding means, and 17 a transmission control means. Also,
18 is a jam notification signal sending means for sending a jam notification signal to the other party's facsimile machine upon detecting a jam in the input document;
Reference numeral 19 denotes a jam notification signal detection means that notifies the text addition means 12 when the jam notification signal is received.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment according to the above configuration will be explained with reference to the operation flowcharts on the transmitting side and the receiving side shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b). On the sending side, the original is read by the original reading means 13, encoded by the encoding means 15, and sent to the receiving side by the transmission control means 17 (S21, S22). When a document jam occurs during document reading (S21), the document jam detection means 1
0, and outputs a detection signal to the control circuit 1. Upon receiving the detection signal, the control circuit 1 outputs a control signal to the text adding means 12 to add a text notifying the occurrence of a jam. Upon receiving the control signal, the text adding means 12 reads a predetermined text from the text storage means 11 and adds it to the image data (S23). The image data to which the text has been added is encoded by the encoding means 15 and sent to the receiving side by the transmission control means 17.

On the other hand, on the receiving side, image data is received by the transmission control means 17, decoded by the decoding means 16, and a received original as shown in FIG. 4(a) is outputted by the print output means 14 (S31 to S34). .

Example 2. Next, the operation according to the second embodiment will be explained with reference to the operation flowcharts of the transmitting side and the receiving side shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b). When a document jam occurs during document reading on the transmitting side (S41, S42), the document jam detection means 10 detects the document jam, and sends a detection signal to the control circuit 1.
Output to. Upon receiving the detection signal, the control circuit 1 outputs an instruction to send a jam communication signal to the jam notification signal sending means 18. The jam notification signal sending means 18, which has received the sending instruction, sends the jam notification signal to the receiving side via the transmission control means 17 (S43).

On the other hand, on the receiving side, the transmission control means 17 receives the jam notification signal, and the jam notification signal detection means 19
(S51, S52). The jam notification signal detecting means 19 which receives the jam notification signal outputs a detection signal to the control circuit 1, and the control circuit 1 outputs a control signal to the text adding means 12 to add a text notifying the occurrence of a jam. Upon receiving the control signal, the text adding means 12 reads out a predetermined text from the text storage means 11 and adds it to the image data (S56). Image data with text added is shown in Figure 4.
It is printed out as shown in (b) (S57). Note that if the jam notification signal is not received, decoding and printing are performed as usual (S51 to S55).

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the transmitting side that caused the document jam adds a text indicating that the document jam has occurred and sends the document, so the receiving side This has the effect that it is possible to know with certainty that a document jam has occurred.

[0017] Furthermore, in the case of devices of the same model, only a document jam notification signal is sent, and a message indicating that a document jam has occurred is added and output on the receiving side, so it is possible to efficiently notify the other party. effective.
