Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a facsimile device, and more particularly to a device for printing and transmitting two originals in an overlapping manner.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in a facsimile machine, an original is read and the read data is transmitted or copied. By registering your name, phone number, etc. that you always use with the sender registration, you can send them to the other party at the same time as the original when sending. However, if I wanted to send a slightly longer document to a common partner, I had to write it in a manuscript and send it each time. In order to meet the demand for streamlined office work in recent years, the emergence of a device that reads a common document into a fax machine once and sends different documents with different contents to multiple parties by overlapping the common document Was desired.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and when a document is transmitted to a plurality of parties, the document and the common document are superimposed and transmitted.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a reading unit that reads the first original in advance and reads the second original each time it is transmitted, and a first storage unit that stores the data of the first original read by the reading unit. , A second storage unit for storing the data of the second original read by the reading unit, an image data combining unit for combining the data of the first storage unit and the data of the second storage unit, and compressing the combined data A compression unit, a modem unit that transmits data from the compression unit, and a control unit that controls the reading unit, the first storage unit, the second storage unit, the image data combination unit, the compression unit, and the modem unit. A facsimile machine is provided.

[0005]

With the above arrangement, the first document (common document) is read by the reading unit and stored in the first storage unit. The second document is read by the reading unit and stored in the second storage unit. The data of the first storage unit and the data of the second storage unit are combined by the image data combining unit and printed by the printing unit, or the data is compressed by the compression unit and transmitted to the other party via the modem unit.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of an original document of a facsimile device of the present invention. In the figure, numeral 11 is an input unit for setting the mode of the facsimile apparatus. A reading unit 1 reads a document. A first storage unit 7 stores the common document read by the reading unit 1 in the first storage unit. A second storage unit 8 stores a general original document read by the reading unit 1 in the second storage unit. An image data combining unit 9 combines the data in the first storage unit 7 and the data in the second storage unit 8 for each line data. A printing unit 2 prints the data from the image data synthesizing unit 9 on paper when the facsimile device is in the copy mode. A compression unit 10 compresses the data from the image data synthesis unit 9 when the facsimile apparatus is in the communication mode. A modem unit 5 modulates the data from the compression unit 10. Reference numeral 3 is a network control unit, which has functions such as activation / restoration of an exchange, transmission of a selection signal, reception of a calling signal, and maintenance of a direct current loop. Reference numeral 4 is a line, which is connected to an external facsimile device (not shown). A control unit 6 controls the input unit 11, the first storage unit 7, the second storage unit 8, the reading unit 1, the image data composition unit 9, the printing unit 2, the compression unit 10 and the network control device unit 3.

FIG. 2 is a diagram of a document, in which a is a common document, b is a general document, and c is a receiving sheet. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 12 is a common document, which is used for facsimile communication of a document having the same content to a plurality of parties, and the text is written in the lower part of the common document. Reference numeral 13 is a general document in which the text is written in the upper part of the general manuscript, which is the content of facsimile communication with a specific party. Reference numeral 14 denotes a received document, which is written by combining the common document and the general document transmitted as the document received by the facsimile machine. In the above configuration, the switch of the input unit 11 is operated to enter the document reading mode. The data obtained by reading the common document from the reading unit 1 is stored in the first storage unit 7. The switch of the input unit 11 is operated to enter the communication mode. Place the general manuscript you want to send on the manuscript table of the fax machine, dial the telephone number of the person you want to fax, and start the communication. The general document is read by the reading unit 1 and stored in the second storage unit 8. The control unit 6 reads the data in the first storage unit 7 and the data in the second storage unit 8, and the image data synthesis unit 9 synthesizes the data. The data from the image data synthesizer 9 is compressed by the compressor 10, modulated by the modem 5, and transmitted through the line 4. The reception sheet received by the facsimile machine on the receiving side is a single document in which the common document 12 and the general document 13 are overlapped as in the reception document 14 shown in FIG. If you want to send a common document to multiple recipients, you can create a general document for each recipient and perform facsimile communication as described above. It is also possible to copy the sent common document for recording and storage. The copy mode is set by operating the switch of the input unit 11. The data read by reading the common document from the reading unit 1 is stored in the first storage unit 7. Set a general document on the platen of the facsimile machine and start copying. The general document is read by the reading unit 1 and stored in the second storage unit 8. The control unit 6 reads the data in the first storage unit 7 and the data in the second storage unit 8, and synthesizes the data in the image data synthesis unit 9. The data from the image data synthesizing unit 9 is copied on the receiving (copying) paper by the printing unit 2. The reception sheet becomes a single document by stacking the common document 12 and the general document 13 like the reception document 14 shown in FIG.

Next, another embodiment will be described. In this example, the second storage unit 8 and the image data composition unit 9 in FIG. 1 are deleted and a determination unit is added. The discrimination unit discriminates the end of the data of the general original document read by the reading unit 1. The document reading mode is set by operating the switch of the input unit 11. The data read by reading the common document from the reading unit 1 is stored in the first storage unit 7. The switch of the input unit 11 is operated to enter the communication mode. Place the general manuscript you want to send on the manuscript table of the fax machine and dial the telephone number of the person you want to fax to start communication. A general document is read by the reading unit 1 and transmitted line by line. The determination unit determines the end of the read data. In this case, if the document to be read has no data for, for example, 3 lines, it is determined that the data has ended. When the transmission of the general document is completed, the control unit 6 reads the data in the first storage unit 7 and transmits it. The transmitted data is compressed by the compression unit 10, modulated by the modem unit 5, and transmitted through the line 4. The reception sheet received by the facsimile machine on the reception side is a single document in which the common document 12 and the general document 13 are overlapped as in the reception document 14 shown in FIG.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when an individual manuscript and a common document are transmitted to a plurality of parties, the individual manuscript and the common document can be superposed and transmitted, so that it is not necessary to write the common document for each of the plurality of parties. The effect of rationalizing office work is great.
