Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile device, and more particularly to a facsimile device that allows the input order and recording order of original documents to be rearranged.

[Problems to be solved by conventional technology and invention]

In conventional facsimile devices that do not have an image information storage section, the input order and recording order of the original were the same, so when recording, the page with the lowest number is stacked at the bottom, so that it is not the same as the original. The problem was that they were not sorted in the same order. On the other hand, in a facsimile device having a storage section, the above-mentioned drawbacks have been solved by completely reversing the input order and recording order of originals. however,
When there are multiple documents printed on both sides and both sides are to be sent, one side is first read in succession, and then the other side is read. For this reason, one side of the document is recorded first, and the other side is recorded consecutively later, in the page order of the document (normally front, back, front, back, etc.) However, the order of the recorded data is different, and it has the disadvantage that it is necessary to rearrange it again.

In the present invention, when reading a double-sided printed document, by inputting the information that the document is printed on both sides and the number of sheets of the document from the operation unit, the image information is read one side at a time as described above. When transmitting the original stored in the storage unit, or when receiving the original in the order in which it has been read one side at a time as described above and recording the original stored in the image information storage unit, the front side of the original, This problem can be solved by rearranging the pages in the order of back, front, back, etc., and when sending both sides of a document printed on both sides, one side of the document can be read continuously. Even if the documents are recorded, the front side, back side, front side, back side, etc. of the manuscript can be recorded in an aligned manner.

[Means for solving problems]

The facsimile device according to the present invention includes a reading unit that reads a document, distinguishes image information into white pixels and black pixels, and binarizes the image information into white pixel signals and black pixel signals, and stores image information for at least one message. an image information storage section capable of transmitting image information stored in the image information storage section through a line and a communication control section capable of receiving image information through a line; A recording section for recording image information, and an operation for inputting information such as the destination number necessary for facsimile communication, as well as information on the number of original sheets and whether the original is printed on both sides or on one side. In addition to managing the flow of image information in the image information storage section and the entire device, it also rearranges the order of image information stored in the image information storage section for each page according to instructions from the operation section, and sends recording instructions to the recording section. and a main control section that has the function of transmitting data and instructing the communication control section to send data.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a facsimile device for implementing the present invention, which includes a reading section 1, an encoding section 2, an image information storage section 3, a main control section 4, a communication control section 5, a decoding section 6, recording section 7, internal data bus 8,
It consists of an operation section 9.

FIG. 2 schematically depicts the order of pages when the present invention is implemented.

When an operator wants to send a document printed on both sides by facsimile, he inputs from the operation unit 9 that the document is printed on both sides and the number of sheets of the document. Then, as shown in Figure 2, first only the front side of the document (A, B, C,...) is read, then only the back side (A', B', C',...) is read. do. The read original is encoded by the encoding section 2 and stored in the image information storage section 3 in the order shown in FIG.
Thereafter, under the control of the main control section 4, the image information storage section 3
When transmitting the image information stored in , via the communication control section 5, the main control section 4 selects A, A', B, B', C, based on the information input from the operation section 9.
C'... are taken out from the image information storage section 3 and sent to the communication control section 5 in this order. This image information storage section 3
The algorithm for taking out originals is to take out the first original, N+1st, second, N+2, etc. in the order in which they are stored in the storage unit, assuming that the number of originals input from the operation unit 9 is N. Just leave it there. In this way, the image information taken out from the image information storage section 3 and sent out from the communication control section 5 is stored in the image information storage section 3 via the communication control section 5 of the receiving facsimile.

At the receiving facsimile, the order (A, A', B, B', C, C') stored in the image information storage section 3 is completely reversed and outputted to the recording section 7 via the decoding section 6. As a result, records are obtained in the order of (C', C, B', B, A', A) on the recording paper receiver of the receiving facsimile machine. From A, A', B, B',
Stacked recording sheets C and C' are obtained.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is also possible to provide the receiving facsimile with a function to rearrange the reading order of ABC, A'B'C' into the order of A, A', B, B', C, C'. . That is, A, B, C, ..., A',
B', C', etc. are read in the reading section of the sending facsimile in that order, pass through the encoding section 2, are stored in the image information storage section 3, and are sent to the receiving facsimile via the communication control section 5. The image information is stored in the image information storage section 3. At this time, the sending facsimile sends information that the document is double-sided printed and the number of sheets of the document together with the image information to the receiving facsimile. In the receiving facsimile, A, B, and C are stored in the image information storage section 3.
..., A', B', C' are stored in the order of C', C, B', B, A', A through the decoding section 6 under the control of the main control section 4. 7. In this case as well, it is possible to obtain a bundle of recording sheets exactly the same as in the above-described example in which the originals are rearranged by the sending facsimile and taken out from the image information storage section 3 to the communication control section 5.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, when the information that the document is a double-sided document and the number of sheets of the document are input from the operation section, the present invention changes the order in which image information that has been read or received and stored in the storage section is retrieved. One side of a double-sided document was read continuously (i.e.,
Even in cases where only one side is first read continuously, and then only the other side is read continuously, the stack of recording paper is output aligned in page order, so there is no need to rearrange it afterwards. It can be done.
