Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily insert an original at the time of retransmission by enabling printing onto routine format paper including memo paper and especially performing printing to turn it at a specified angle in the paper output direction. CONSTITUTION:Under the control of a central processing unit 1, an input/output control part 2 checks whether the key of memo paper print is pressed or not. When the key of memo paper print is pressed, a data managing part 5 stores format data 4 just for one line in a print buffer 6, and a print control part 7 prints the format data 4 just for one line. Next, it is judged whether the data are completely printed to the final line or not and when the data are not printed to the final line, the next line is printed. Since the printed result is turned at 90 deg. in the paper output direction in this case, the facsimile transmission using the printed paper is facilitated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, in a facsimile machine equipped with a telephone or a facsimile machine connected to a communication device including an external telephone, prints a standard format sheet including a memo sheet during a call or not. The present invention relates to a facsimile machine that can be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a facsimile machine has not only output received document image data to a recording sheet, but also has a high-performance device such as a device for displaying it on a display after receiving it once in an internal storage device, a device with a telephone function added, and the like. The number of value-added facsimile machines has increased, and more convenient ones have been demanded.

In such an environment, there has been no facsimile machine capable of printing a standard format sheet including a memo sheet.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, by pressing a designated key, a standard format paper including memo paper is printed as if it were rotated 90 degrees with respect to the paper output direction,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus that facilitates document insertion when retransmitting.

[0005]

In a facsimile machine equipped with a telephone or a facsimile machine connected to a communication device including an external telephone, means for storing fixed format data in a print buffer by a designated key input, and the stored means. It is configured to include a printing unit that prints data in a fixed format and a printing unit that prints the printing result as if it was rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the paper output direction when printing data in the fixed format.

[0006]

According to the present invention, when a designated key input is detected in the above configuration, it is possible to print a standard format sheet including a memo sheet, and in particular, it is retransmitted by printing as if it is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the sheet output direction. It is possible to easily insert the original at that time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A facsimile apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a facsimile apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is the core of the apparatus, a central processing unit for controlling a program by a microcomputer, 2 is an input control unit for reading keys input from a keyboard 3, and 5 is stored in a non-volatile memory. A data management unit that manages the format data 4, a print control unit 7 that controls the printer 8 to print the format data 4 stored in the print buffer 6, and a communication line control device 9 that performs transmission or reception. Is.

With respect to the facsimile apparatus having the above-described components, the mutual relation and operation of the components will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Under the control of the central processing unit 1, the input control unit 2 checks whether or not the key for printing the memo paper is pressed (step 10). If the key input for printing the memo paper is not made, the process ends without any operation. When the key for printing memo paper is pressed, the data management unit 5
However, the format data 4 is stored in the print buffer 6 for one line (step 11), and the print control unit 7 prints the format data 4 for one line (step 1).
2). Next, it is judged whether or not printing has been completed up to the final line (step 13). If printing has not been completed up to the final line, the printing process for the next line is performed. If the last line has been printed, the process ends.

FIG. 4 shows the result of the standard format printed by the above-described processing, using a memo paper as an example.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 shows the difference in the printing direction. FIG. 3A is an example in which printing is performed in the paper output direction, but since the roll paper winding direction and the printing result are the same, it is difficult to perform document insertion for facsimile transmission using the same paper. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the above problem is solved by rotating the roll paper winding direction and the printing result by 90 degrees. It goes without saying that the printing direction at this time is the same whether the data rotated 90 degrees in advance is prepared and printed, or the data is rotated 90 degrees and printed.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a facsimile machine with a telephone or a facsimile machine connected to a communication device including an external telephone, a standard key format including memo paper can be entered by inputting a designated key. An excellent facsimile apparatus capable of printing a sheet of paper and rotating the printed result by 90 degrees with respect to the sheet output direction to facilitate facsimile transmission using the printed sheet of paper can be realized. Is.
