Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a facsimile device that transmits an original written on the back side of continuous recording paper and records a received image on the front side. The present invention relates to a manuscript table which is arranged so as to be used when writing a manuscript on the back side of the recording paper 2.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a feed roller 3, a document table 4, an image reading device 5, a platen roller 6, and a thermal head 7 are arranged in the conveyance path of continuous recording paper 2 fed out from a recording roll 1. facsimile devices are known. Here, the thermal head 7 is arranged to face the front side (coloring side) of the recording paper 2 and forms an image on the recording paper according to the received signal, while the image reading device 5 is arranged to face the back side of the recording paper 2. It is arranged so as to face the record 2, and reads and transmits the original written on the back side of the record 2. Note that this document is written on the back side of the recording paper 2 (the side facing upward in this position) on the document table 4.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional facsimile device, each time a manuscript is written on the recording paper 2,
There was a problem in that the format of the manuscript had to be created on recording paper, and it took a very long time to create the manuscript.

One possible solution to the above-mentioned problem is to use recording paper with a format printed on the back side in advance. However, in this case, all information including format must be communicated and recorded.
The transmission time and recording time will be longer, and on the receiving side, the total power consumption of the recording head will be large, which will increase the power consumption.The temperature of the recording head itself will rise, which may cause the recorded image to deteriorate. Problems such as this arise.

Another possible measure is to use recording paper with a format printed on the front side recording surface and a drop-out color printed on the back side. However, in this case, a new problem arises in that the receiving side cannot record in the correct position in the format unless both sides align before starting transmission and reception. This problem can be solved by printing alignment marks on the back side of the recording paper and aligning them using an image reading device, but of course these alignment marks will drop out. Since it is not color, it is necessary to print in two colors on the back side of the recording paper, which poses a problem in that the number of printing steps increases and the cost of the recording paper increases.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and allows for the creation of original documents without the need to manually write the format of the original to be sent or without the need to print the format in drop-out color on the back side of recording paper in advance. It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device that can easily perform the above operations and shorten the transmission time and recording time.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is provided with a structure in which a format is provided on the document table that supports the recording paper when writing the original on the recording paper. . This format may be provided by printing directly on the document table, or may be provided by printing on an underlay that can be easily attached to and detached from the document table. In addition, in order to see the format clearly when looking through it from above the recording paper, it is recommended that the background color of the document table or underlay has a low optical reflection density and that the cost resistance with the image area of the format is high. .

Effects According to the present invention, when writing a manuscript on the back side of the recording paper, the format of the document table can be seen through the recording paper, so there is no need to write the format on the recording paper, and the manuscript can be created easily. can be simplified. Furthermore, there is no need to print the format in drop-out color on the back side of the recording paper, which reduces the cost of the recording paper. Furthermore,
Since the format is not transmitted during transmission, the transmission time and recording time can be shortened, and the total energization time of the recording head is reduced, so power consumption can be saved and the temperature rise of the recording head itself can be reduced. Therefore, the stability of recorded images can be increased.

Note that if you use an easily attachable and removable underlay to the document stand as a means of setting the format on the document stand, you can prepare a number of underlays with printed formats for manuscripts in various formats, and then use the underlay of the required format. By exchanging them, you can efficiently create manuscripts.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to examples shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a document table and an underlay in a facsimile machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Reference numeral 20 indicates an original platen with format 11 printed on its upper surface, and an underlay 20 has a format 21 different from the format 11 of the original platen 10 printed thereon. The background color of the document table 10 and the underlay 20 is a color with low optical reflection density, for example white, in order to increase the contrast with the image area of the formats 11 and 21. The underlay 20 is configured to be easily attachable to and detachable from the document table 10. These manuscript tables 1
0 and the other parts of the facsimile machine including the underlay 20 are the same as the conventional facsimile machine shown in FIG. 3, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

In the above-mentioned facsimile device, when writing a document to be transmitted on the back side of the recording paper, the format 11 of the document tray 10 is
However, when the underlay 20 is attached to the document table 10, the format 21 of the underlay 20 can be seen through, so that it is only necessary to fill in the necessary information with reference to this format, which greatly simplifies manuscript creation. Furthermore, by providing underlays printed with various formats, it is possible to write on various originals extremely easily by attaching the underlay of the format corresponding to the document to the document table. A document written with reference to the format of the document table 10 or the underlay 20 is read by a document reading device and transmitted in the same manner as described for the conventional example shown in FIG. At this time, since the format is not recorded on the recording paper, only the original without the format is transmitted, and the transmission time is extremely shortened. Note that if the receiving side feels inconvenienced by sending only the original without the format, it is sufficient to write the format along with the original on recording paper. In this case, writing the format is extremely easy because it is only necessary to copy the transparent format onto the recording paper.

In the above embodiment, it was explained that recording paper without a format printed on it is used, but even if recording paper with a format printed on it is used on the receiving side,
The present invention is preferred. FIG. 2 shows an example of a document table 12 of a sending-side facsimile machine, and this document table 12 is provided with a specific format 13. In FIG. On the other hand, the same format as format 13 is printed in advance on the recording surface of the recording paper on the receiving side. Furthermore, alignment marks are provided on the back sides of both the transmitting and receiving recording sheets. In this case, on the sending side, refer to the format 13 on the document table 12, write the original (for example, only the characters and numbers in the frame) on the recording paper, and then align the recording paper on both the sending and receiving sides. Then, when the document is transmitted, the document is received and recorded at a predetermined position within the format of the recording paper on the receiving side. In this way, the information can be transmitted to the other party in a format without writing the format on recording paper. In this case, the letters, numbers, and
If you include symbols etc. in the format and prepare it,
Needless to say, this is even more preferable.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention is a facsimile device that transmits originals written on the back side of recording paper, in which a format is provided on the original table used for writing originals. This format can be seen through the top of the recording paper, allowing you to write the format on the recording paper without having to write it down.
It is possible to create a manuscript using this format as a reference, making it extremely easy to create a manuscript. In addition, since it is possible to create a manuscript without writing the format on recording paper, there is no need to transmit the format, and in that case, the transmission time and recording time can be shortened, and the total power-on time of the recording head can be reduced. Since it is smaller, it is possible to save power consumption, and since the temperature rise of the recording head itself is reduced, various effects such as increasing the stability of recorded images can be obtained.

In addition, when setting the format on the document table,
As shown in the embodiment, by using an easily removable underlay for the document table, by preparing underlays of various formats, the format can be changed extremely easily depending on the purpose. The effect is that manuscript creation becomes easier.
