Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile machine, when remote reception is selected, the calling side determines that the call is automatic and activates the direct mail prevention function.

[0003]

However, it is possible to select remote reception after talking to the calling operator. In this case, since the operator on the receiver side understands the call with the calling side upon reception, it is better not to activate the direct mail prevention. However, even in this case, the reception of the direct mail also works, so that there is an inconvenience that the reception cannot be performed even though the operator on the receiver side tries to receive the mail.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of properly functioning direct mail prevention in remote reception and performing more effective reception.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a facsimile apparatus having direct mail prevention means, when remote reception is performed and the operator on the other side can confirm, the direct mail prevention means operates. If it is not confirmed by the operator on the other side, the direct mail prevention means is operated to shift to the receiving operation.

Conventionally, a facsimile apparatus for recording on a recording paper of a standard paper size is reduced so that when the received information is larger than the recording paper size, the standard paper size is accommodated at an independent magnification in the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction. Was recorded.

However, when the received information larger than the recording paper size is reduced and recorded at an independent magnification in the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction as in the prior art, the received information is recorded on the recording paper. . For this reason, there is a big drawback that the recording paper does not have a blank portion and filing or the like cannot be performed. By the way, in the recording paper of the standard size, the preservability for plain paper recording represented by laser recording is the most important point, and it is not necessary to make a copy again unlike the case of thermal recording. However, when recording is performed on recording paper of a standard paper size, if the filing cannot be performed as it is as described above, the maximum merit of plain paper recording cannot be utilized.

Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, when the received information is larger than the recording paper size, it is accommodated in an area excluding a part of the standard paper size by a magnification independent of the main scanning direction and the sub scanning direction.

Xmm).

Further, in the fourth embodiment, the reduction ratio is assumed in comparison with the received image information and the recording area of the recording paper excluding the blank area, but the effective information area detection circuit is used instead of the received image information. The reduction ratio may be assumed by inputting 48 and comparing the valid information with the recording area. Since the received image information is output to the signal line 24a, it is necessary to consider the difference from the valid information when setting the recording position (specifically, the signal lines 52g and 52h). In this case, the recording position is selected by considering the position on the recording paper where the upper left point of the valid information is placed instead of the upper left point of the received image information.

An instruction to the effect that the information is continued is added to the first page of and transmitted.

16 to 18 are flowcharts showing the operation of the fifth embodiment.

First, in S352, the CML is turned off, and in S354, the reading circuit 10 is not operated and S3 is set.
At 56, the modulator 14 is set to input from the signal line 72a, at S358, the decoding circuit 24 is set to input from the signal line 22a, at S360, the recording circuit 26 is not operated, and at S362. , The recording circuit 78 does not operate.

Next, in S364, it is determined whether or not the broadcast transmission is selected. If it is not selected, other processing is performed in S366.

When the broadcast transmission is selected, first,
The reading circuit 10 is operated (S368), 1 is set in the page counter (S370), and the value of the page counter is stored in a predetermined memory area (S372). Then, the read original data is encoded, and the memory circuit 7
It is stored in 0 (S374). Here, it is determined whether the reading of one page is completed (S376), and if the reading is in progress, the reading is continued while monitoring whether the memory circuit 70 has a space (S378).

When the reading of one page is completed, it is judged whether there is a next page (S380). If there is a next page, the page counter is incremented by 1 (S382), and the process returns to S374. Continue reading the next page.

If there is no next page, it is judged in S384 whether or not there is a destination to be called.
At 385, the reading circuit 10 is set in a non-operating state and S364 is performed.
Return to. If there is a destination to be called, the designated destination is called (S386), CML is turned on (S388), and the procedure proceeds to the previous procedure (S390).

Then, the modulator 14 is brought into a state of inputting the signal of the signal line 72a (S392), and the value of the page counter stored in the predetermined memory area in S372 is set in the page counter (S394).

If the value of the page counter is 1 (S396), it is determined that the image can be transmitted by one reading, and the image is transmitted in S398. Here, the creating circuit 74 creates sender information including page information, adds the sender information to the transmitted image information, and transmits the image information.

If the value of the page counter is not 1 (S396), it is determined that the page is the first half of the latter half of divided transmission, and image transmission is performed in S400. Here, the creating circuit 74 creates the sender information including the continuous page information, and the creating circuit 76 creates the instruction information indicating that the information is continuous information, and adds the instruction information to the transmission image information for transmission.

When the transmission of one page is completed,
It is determined whether or not there is a next page (S402), and if there is, the page counter is incremented by 1 (S40).
8) The intermediate procedure is executed (S410), and the process returns to S398 to continue the transmission process.

If there is no next page, the post-procedure is performed (S404), the CML is turned off (S406), and S3 is executed.
Return to 84.

If it is determined in S378 that the memory circuit 70 has no free space, the pages up to the completely stored page immediately before the page being stored are broadcasted. Therefore, a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the page counter is stored in a predetermined area for storing the middle of the page counter (indicating a page to be divided) (S412). Then, it is confirmed that the data of one page or more is stored (S414). If the data of one page or more is not stored, the complete page cannot be transmitted. Therefore, in S416, there is no free space in the memory. Therefore, a message indicating that the broadcast cannot be transmitted is displayed, and the flow returns to S364 via S385.

If one or more pages of data are stored, it is judged whether there is a destination to be called (S418). If not, the page counter is incremented by 1 and the process returns to S372 ( S420). As a result, if the data is the latter half of the case of divided transmission, S3
At 72, two or more page counter values will be stored.

If there is a destination to be called in S418, the designated destination is called (S42).
2) The CML is turned on (S424), and the process proceeds to the pre-procedure (S426).

Then, the modulator 14 is brought into a state of inputting the signal of the signal line 72a (S428), and the value of the page counter stored in the predetermined memory area in S394 is set in the page counter (S430).

If the value of the page counter is 1 (S431), it is determined that the data is the first half of divided transmission, and image transmission is performed in S434. Here, transmission source information including page information is added to the transmission image information and transmitted. Then, every time transmission of one page is completed, the page counter is incremented by 1 (S436), intermediate processing is performed (S438), and the transmission of S434 is repeated. At this time, it is determined whether or not the value of the page counter matches the value indicating the middle of the page counter stored in S412 (S432). If the values do not match, the transmission of S434 is repeated, and if they match, the division is performed. It is determined that the page is the last page in the first half of the transmission, and the process proceeds to S440, in which the transmission source information including the page information and the instruction information indicating that there is transmission data are added to the transmission image information and transmitted.

Then, the post-procedure is performed in S442, and S44
At 4, the CML is turned off and the process returns to S418.

Also, the page counter is set to 1 in S431.
If it is not, it is determined that it is the first page in the latter half of the divided transmission, the process proceeds to S446, and the transmission source information including the continuous page information and the instruction information indicating that the transmission data is continuous are set in the transmission image information. Add and send. Then, it is determined whether or not this page matches the value indicating the middle of the page counter stored in S412 (S44).
8) If they do not match, the process proceeds to S434 and the transmission of the second and subsequent pages in the latter half of the divided transmission is performed.

If they match, it is determined that the first page of the latter half of this divided transmission is the last page of the latter half of this divided transmission at the same time, the process proceeds to S442, the post-procedure is performed, and the CML is turned off in S444. Then, the process returns to S418.

In this way, even if the memory circuit 70 is full, the memory broadcast transmission can be divided and the load on the user can be reduced.

In the fifth embodiment described above, when division transmission is performed, instruction information indicating that there is subsequent division transmission data or that there is preceding division transmission data is added to the transmission image information. However, these may be transmitted on a different page from the transmission image information. For example, after the last page of the first half of divided transmission, send a page showing a message that there is information, and before the first page of the second half of divided transmission, send a page that shows a message of continued information. Send. Note that page numbers are not given to these two pages, and only the transmission image information is set as the continuous image page.

In the fifth embodiment, the memory circuit 7 is in the process of storing the transmission information in the memory circuit 70.
When there was no free space in 0, the divided transmission was immediately performed. However, if there is information that can be output from the memory circuit 70 at this time, for example, memory reception information, this information is output and the memory circuit 70 outputs the information. By further erasing, a storage area for subsequent transmission information may be secured. That is, in this case, the document thickness detection circuit 82 described above is used.
Thus, the thickness at the end of reading one sheet is obtained, the number of originals set is predicted, and the average data amount per page is obtained from the stored encoded data amount.
Then, when there is no free space in the memory while storing the transmission information, the amount of information when the remaining information set on the platen is encoded is calculated, and this value is output from the memory circuit 70 and erased. When the physically existing memory capacity of the possible information is not exceeded, the information is output from the memory circuit 70, and then the subsequent transmission information is stored in the memory circuit 70 and continuous broadcast transmission is executed.

FIG. 19 is a flow chart showing the operation in this case. Note that FIG. 19 shows only the differences from the fifth embodiment.

First, after the reading circuit 10 is operated in S368, the signal line 8 is operated in S552.
The information 2a is input, the thickness DI of the document at the start of use is input, and this value is stored. After this, the process shifts to S370 described above.

Next, in S378, if there is no free space in the memory circuit 70, it is judged whether the page counter value stored in the predetermined area in S372 is 1 (S558). Proceed to S412. If the page counter value is 1, the signal on the signal line 82a is input in S562, and the document thickness DF when the memory is full is stored. If the thickness of the document stored in the memory is DM, DI-DF = D
M holds. Further, α · DF = page counter. Next, the number of remaining pages is obtained from α · DF.

Α · DF = (page counter / DM) · DF = {DF / (DI-DF)} · page counter.

Here, it is assumed that the set originals have the same paper quality. The average encoding capacity per page stored in memory is
The total amount of memory stored in the memory divided by the number of pages stored in the memory is multiplied by the remaining number of pages to obtain the remaining amount of information not stored in the memory.

Next, in step S566, the information output to the signal line 70b is input, and the capacity that can be output (erased) stored in the memory is calculated, and this capacity is not stored in the memory. Judging whether the amount of information is more than
If it is more than the remaining amount of information, it progresses to S570, and if it is less than the remaining amount of information, it progresses to S412 mentioned above.

At S570, the decoding circuit 24 makes the signal line 7
The signal 0a is set to be input, and the recording circuit 32 is operated in S572. Then, in S574, the recordable information recorded in the memory circuit 70 is recorded.

After that, in S576, the decoding circuit 24 is set to the state of inputting the signal of the signal line 22a, in S578 the recording circuit 32 is made inoperative, and the process proceeds to S374.

In this way, even if the memory becomes full during the memory transmission, the transmission is not always proceeded, but the transmission information is continuously stored within the range where the memory circuit 70 has a space, and the transmission is not divided. Information transmission can be executed.

In the sixth embodiment (FIG. 19), all outputable information stored in the memory circuit 70 is output. However, for example, confidential reception of the memory reception information in the memory circuit 70 or the like is performed. If there is such information, if it is output as it is, the meaning of confidential communication becomes meaningless. If this information is not output, the memory circuit 7
The capacity that can be secured within 0 becomes small, and the function shown in FIG. 19 cannot be fully utilized. Therefore, in the seventh embodiment, such confidential reception information is stored in the envelope, the recipient is recorded on the cover, and the confidential reception information is erased from the memory circuit 70.

FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing the operation in this case. Note that FIG. 20 shows only the differences from the sixth embodiment.

First, in S570, after the decoding circuit 24 is set to the state of inputting the signal of the signal line 70a, it is determined in S590 whether the information to be output from now is confidential reception information. If it is not confidential reception information, the process proceeds to S572 described above so as to be output as it is. If it is confidential reception information, the recording circuit 78 that can be stored in the envelope is activated (S596), the confidential reception information is recorded (S598), and then the seal is closed (S6).
00), the recipient is recorded on the cover of the envelope (S602).
After that, the recording circuit 78 is brought into a non-operating state (S60

As described above, according to the present invention (Claim 1), when the remote reception is performed, it is automatically determined by the user who selects the remote reception, or automatically with the calling side of the other party. When there is a call and the other party is checking, the direct mail prevention function cannot be activated, so it is possible to shift to the receiving operation without fail, and the calling party is automatically calling and checking the other party. When it is not in use, direct mail protection is activated, so unnecessary reception is not required and a convenient device can be provided.

Further, according to the present invention (claim 8), a margin portion is provided in one portion of the recording paper of a fixed size, and the received image information is scaled in any vertical and horizontal magnification in the area excluding this margin portion. It is possible to record as a result, and there is an effect that filing can be performed easily.

Further, according to the present invention (Claim 14), when the memory capacity for storing the transmission information is smaller than the transmission information amount during the broadcast transmission, the automatic division transmission is possible. Therefore, there is no need for the user to monitor until the completion of the broadcast transmission, and the work can be facilitated.
