Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize the size of the facsimile equipment of a original stationary read system and to make its installation space small. CONSTITUTION:The facsimile equipment is provided with an original read face 18 on which an original to be sent is placed, a line sensor 3 moving along the original read face 18, a read means reading the image of the original placed on the original read face 18, an original cover 20 opened/closed while its one side is used as a turning shaft and covering the original read face 18, and a recording means recording a received image onto recording paper 14. The upper face of the original cover 20 is used for a paper discharging tray for the recorded recording paper recorded by the recording means. The recorded recording paper is discharged to the upper side of a book type original read face so as to eliminate the need for a tray projected externally from the device, thereby making the profile thin and saving the space.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine which is provided with a copying function and which is suitable for copying a book in a two-page spread state and for transmitting a facsimile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A standard structure of a facsimile apparatus capable of electronically transmitting a document / image as image data via a public line is functionally equivalent to an original image for transmitting an original. It comprises a reading section, an image recording section for recording the received image, and a telephone section for inputting a facsimile number of a transmission destination and for making a call.

FIG. 33 shows the appearance of a typical conventional facsimile machine.

In the facsimile apparatus shown in FIG. 1, when transmitting a document, the document is placed on the document feed tray 602, the facsimile number of the other party is input through the operation unit 606, and a transmission instruction is given. Then, only one original is taken and passes over the reading line sensor, and the original discharge tray 604.
Is discharged on. In this way, document images are sequentially transmitted one by one.

On the other hand, at the time of reception, the reception image is normally automatically operated to record the received image on the heat-sensitive roll paper built therein, and the recorded paper is cut and discharged onto the recording paper discharge tray 608. ..

The prior art related to the present invention is as follows:
For example, JP-A-62-38072 and JP-A-2-2
There is a technique described in Japanese Patent No. 90360.

[0007]

The conventional general facsimile apparatus described above has the following problems.

First, regarding the reading of the original at the time of transmission, the original to be transmitted is limited to a sheet of sheet, and one page of the book of original cannot be directly transmitted. In that case, it is necessary to copy the page with a copying machine and then place the copied document on a facsimile machine.
The labor and cost of copying were wasted.

Next, as a problem regarding image recording at the time of reception, since a heat-sensitive roll paper is used for recording the reception image, the recorded paper is apt to discolor over time and is not suitable for long-term storage. It was difficult to write.

Further, as the rolled paper approaches the end, the discharged paper curls and it is difficult to handle. Furthermore,
Since a wide roll of paper is used to accommodate large-sized paper, a margin is created on the side of the recorded paper for a normal-sized original, and the margin is cut off for storage or copying. It was necessary to do so and handling was inconvenient.

Further, in the entire facsimile apparatus, since the document feeding tray 8 protrudes from the facsimile main body to the outside, there is a problem that a wide installation space is required for the size of the main body.

On the other hand, in the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-38072, since the paper is discharged inside the device, it cannot be thinned in the thickness direction of the device, and it is difficult to downsize. You can also read the book in a two-page spread and send this information by fax,
It could not be copied. In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-2
The technique disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 90360 cannot read a book in a two-page spread state, and cannot send or copy this information by facsimile, and the auxiliary equipment for placing the original has a structure that significantly protrudes outside the installation surface of the apparatus main body.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of directly transmitting an image of a book-like original (a book is opened and the spread page is read as it is; hereinafter the same). To do.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device which allows convenient storage and handling of recording paper for receiving images.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus which can save space.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a copy function and to transmit and / or copy a book-like document.
