Abstract

PURPOSE:To save the handling time for transaction such as preparations and supply of printing by providing a print command means commanding print by a print format of a routine form stored in a storage means and a control means printing out the print format of the routine form stored in the storage means onto recording paper with a print means to the facsimile equipment. CONSTITUTION:A transmission function of a facsimile equipment sends a read data to a transmission destination through a communication line 3. A reception function of a facsimile equipment operates a print section 8 based on a transmission data sent through a communication line 3 to print out the data onto recording paper and the recording paper is discharged to the outside of the equipment by the operation of a recording paper motor 13. Then in the case of sending an original, when a key 26 as a print command means of a transmission slip is operated, a CPU 1 reads a print format of the transmission slip stored in a ROM 19 and the print section 8 prints out the data onto the recording paper based on the print format and the recording paper is discharged to the outside of the equipment. Thus, a prescribed item is described to the transmission slip printed out by the facsimile equipment and sent together with the original.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a facsimile device having a transmitting function and a receiving function.

(Prior Art) Generally, when a document is sent using a facsimile machine, it is often sent along with a transmission slip so that the destination and source can be identified.

This transmission form uses paper with designated entry fields printed on it, including the address field for entering the company and person in charge of the destination, and the company and person in charge of the sender. There is a field to write the sender, a field to write the date, a field to write a memo, etc.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, it is necessary to always have a transmission form with predetermined entry fields printed on it, and it takes time and effort to arrange for printing and supply. Moreover, if the transmission form is not prepared or is used up and is used up, another blank sheet of paper must be used instead, which is inconvenient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can output and use paper printed in a fixed format using a printing means of a receiving function and a recording paper. This is the purpose.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a facsimile machine having a sending function for reading and transmitting a document using a reading means, and a receiving function for printing received contents on recording paper using a printing means. a storage means for storing a printing format of a fixed form having a column; a printing instruction means for instructing printing according to the printing format of the fixed form stored in the storage means; and control means for causing the printing means to print a fixed format print format on the recording paper.

(Function) In the present invention, when the printing instruction means is operated, printing is performed on the recording paper in the fixed format printing format stored in the storage means by using the printing means and recording paper which are the receiving function of the facsimile. I have to.

(Example) Hereinafter, the configuration of an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, numeral 1 denotes a CPU as a control means for controlling the entire system, and is connected via a system bus 2 to various elements to be described later.

Then, the CPUI controls the NCU 3 which switches the connection between the facsimile side and the telephone handset 4 with respect to the communication line 3.
controls the NCU 3 and the telephone handset 4 to exchange signals, and also controls the modem 6 and the system bus 2.
Data is exchanged with the CPU via the CPU.

In addition, the CPUI inputs read data from the scanner 7, which serves as a reading means for reading the original to be sent, and
The print data is output to the printing section 8, which serves as a printing means for printing on the recording paper set in the facsimile main body, and the transmitted original is sent to the scanner from the input/output port (I10 port) 9 via the corresponding driver 10.1f. The document motor 12 for supplying and discharging a document to and from the document sheet 7 and the recording paper motor 13 for discharging recording paper are operated.

Further, the CPUI outputs display data to the LCD display section 14, inputs data from the keyboard block 15 and the sensor block 16, and c.

Data is exchanged with the DEC block 17.

Note that the keyboard block 15 has a send key 18a.

It is equipped with various keys such as copy key +8b.

This operation by the CPU is executed by the RAM 20 for system data storage according to the program stored in the ROM+9.
It is executed while exchanging data with.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ROM 19 stores a printing format 21 for a transmission slip as a fixed format. This print format 21 has a destination entry field 22, a sender entry field 23, a date entry field 24, a memo entry field 25, and the like.

Furthermore, the keyboard block 15 includes a ROM 19.
A key 26 on a transmission form as a printing instruction means for instructing printing according to the printing format 21 of the transmission form stored in the transmission form.
is provided.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

In the facsimile transmission function, when the line is connected,
The originals set in the facsimile are supplied one by one to the scanner 7 by the operation of the original motor 12 and read, and the read data is transmitted to the destination via the communication line 3.

In the facsimile reception function, the printing section 8 is operated based on transmission data sent through the communication line 3 to print on recording paper, and the recording paper is ejected from the machine by the operation of the recording paper motor 13.

Then, when transmitting a document, when the key 26 is operated as a means for instructing printing of a transmission slip, the CPU
The printing format 21 of the sending slip stored in the printing unit 8 is read out, and the printing unit 8
to print on recording paper and eject it outside the machine. therefore,
Predetermined items can be entered on a transmission form printed by this facsimile machine and sent together with the original document.

Note that the print formats stored in the ROM 19 are not limited to the transmission form, and a plurality of fixed format print formats may be stored and used by selectively printing them.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to print on the recording paper in a fixed format print format stored in the storage means by using the printing means and the recording paper which are the receiving function of the facsimile. It is possible to eliminate the trouble of preparing votes and the inconvenience of not having them prepared.
