The DN communication protocol is executed, and particularly, at the time of transmission, the copy number information of the transmission message is added to the user / user information according to an instruction from the system control unit 2 to make a call, and the message information is transmitted, and at the time of reception, the user / user information is transmitted. The user information is transferred to the system control unit 2 and the received message information is transferred to the storage unit 6.

Next, the operation will be described. In the present embodiment, when the number of copies of the transmission message transmitted by the key operation on the operation display unit 3 is input at the time of transmission, the copy number information is added to the user / user information communicated in the call control procedure in the ISDN communication protocol. When a call is made and received, this user / user information is analyzed and the number of copies of the received electronic message is recorded and output to the recording unit 5 to check whether the amount of electronic message information accumulated in the storage unit 6 is equivalent to a plurality of recording sheets. When it is determined that there are multiple sheets, the sheets are sorted and printed out for multiple copies, and when a recording paper runout is detected during recording output, when the recording paper runout is detected, the number of recording paper sheets already output and the amount of received message information and copying The feature is that the required supplementary number of recording sheets is calculated based on the number of sets, and the required supplementary number is displayed and displayed on the display of the operation display unit 3. The transmission / reception processing will be described below.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the facsimile machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is installed on both the transmitting side and the receiving side. First, the transmission process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. When the operator inputs a destination on the operation display unit 3 by a key operation for transmission and the transmission process is started, it is checked whether or not an instruction for outputting a plurality of copies on the receiving side has been input (step P1), When the input of the copy number information is not instructed, the communication control unit 7 starts the call setup procedure after establishing the layer 1 and layer 2 procedures defined by the CCITT recommendation and the TTC standard, and then starts the normal call setup. A call is made by a message and IS is sent to and from the facsimile machine on the receiving side.
The call is connected via the DN line, the transmission message is transmitted, and after the transmission is completed, the call disconnection procedure is executed to complete the transmission process (step P2).

On the other hand, when an instruction to input the copy number information is given in step P1, a message prompting the input of the copy number is displayed on the display of the operation display section 3 (step P3), and the copy number information is input. And likewise CCIT
Layer 1 defined by the T Recommendation and TTC Standard,
After establishing the layer 2 procedure, the call setup procedure is started, and this copy number information is mapped to the user / user information element in the call setup message shown in FIG. Then, the call is connected via the ISDN line to transmit the transmission message, and after the transmission is completed, the call disconnection procedure is executed to complete the transmission process (step P4).

In the mapping example shown in FIG. 3, the protocol identifier is a user-specific protocol, a function designation code (for example, 35H: multiple copies output) is set in the first octet of user information, and the number of sheets to be output in the subsequent octets is set. Shall be set. Other information elements of the call setup message are set with a predetermined code necessary for facsimile communication and are called.

Next, the receiving process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When a call setup message is received from the sending facsimile machine 1 (step S
1), it is analyzed whether or not multiple user output instructions are added to the user / user information element shown in FIG. 3 (step S2). If multiple copy output instructions are not added,
When the normal reception processing procedure is executed, the received message is transferred to the recording unit 5, recorded and output, and the process is terminated (step S3), and when a plurality of copies output instruction is added, the received message information amount is It is checked whether or not the recording paper is a plurality of pages (step S4). If it is not plural pages, the presence or absence of recording paper in the recording unit 5 is checked (step S
5). When there is no recording paper, the number of recording papers to be replenished is calculated based on the received electronic message information amount and displayed on the display of the operation display unit 3 and the received electronic message information is stored in the storage unit 6 (step S6). , Check the supply of recording paper (step S7). When the recording paper is replenished, or when the recording paper is set in the recording unit 5 in step S5, the stored telegram for the designated number of copies is recorded and output (step S8).

On the other hand, when the amount of electronic message information received in step S4 corresponds to a plurality of pages of recording paper, the presence or absence of the recording paper in the recording unit 5 is checked (step S9), and when there is no recording paper, it is received. The number of recording sheets to be replenished is calculated based on the amount of electronic message information, displayed on the display of the operation display unit 3, and the received electronic message information is stored in the storage unit 6 (step S10). Next, the replenishment of the recording paper is checked (step S11), and when the recording paper is replenished, or when the recording paper is set in the recording unit 5 in step S9, the stored telegram for the designated number of copies is received. Sorting is performed in the reverse order to print out a plurality of copies, and the process ends (step S12).

Therefore, the number of copies required by the user of the receiving facsimile terminal is automatically recorded and output, and when a plurality of received electronic messages are received, the plurality of copies are sorted and output in the reverse order of the reception order. Therefore, the operator of the receiving side facsimile terminal can save the operator the trouble of copying and the trouble of sorting, and when the recording paper runs out, the operator is clearly notified of the required number of replenishment sheets and the recording paper runs out. The time during which the recording output is interrupted can be shortened, and the work efficiency of the operator can be further improved.
