Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having a function of adding sender information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile apparatus, when a document to be transmitted is set in a reading section and a transmission instruction is given, the document is fed one by one and the images are sequentially read from the beginning in the feed direction. I'm supposed to go. When the sender information is added to such a read image, it is always added to the beginning of the image read by the reading unit. Further, as a method of adding the transmission source information, it is added in a state of being inserted before the leading image information, or in a state of being combined with the leading few lines of image information.

[0003]

By the way, in the conventional general facsimile apparatus, it is common to set the original so that the original is inserted into the reading portion from the upper end of each page. The sender information is added to the upper end portion of each page in the image information read by.

However, as shown in FIG. 1, the reading width of the reading unit and the output width of the recording unit are both 297 mm, which is the length in the longitudinal direction of A4 size, and the A4 size original and the recording paper are conveyed in the lateral direction. When the facsimile apparatus is configured so that the A3 size original document and the recording paper are set so as to be conveyed in the longitudinal direction, the A3 size original document conveyed in the longitudinal direction is set as shown in FIG. In the same manner as in the conventional facsimile apparatus, the sender information is added to the leading portion in the longitudinal direction, but for an A4 size document, the sender information is added to the leading portion in the lateral direction. There is a drawback that the position of the sender information added to the A4 size is not appropriate.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus which can properly add sender information to the reading and recording directions of each size.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in a facsimile apparatus capable of setting a plurality of document sizes, control means for changing the position of source information to be added to document information corresponding to each document size. Have.

For example, it has a registration means for registering the position of the sender information to be added to the manuscript information corresponding to each manuscript size, and the sender information is added based on this registration information. Here, each image information is transmitted as it is without being rotated.

In the above facsimile apparatus,
Assuming an An (n is a natural number) size document and an A (n + 1) size document, the readable length is the length of the long side of the An size. Also, the recordable length is the length of the long side of the An size, the received information is recorded without rotating, and the An size or A (n + 1) depending on the length in the sub-scanning direction.
Select the size chart paper and record.

As a result, in the facsimile apparatus as shown in FIG. 1, the source information is added to the upper side shown in FIG. 1 for the A4 size original, and the source information is added to the left side shown in FIG. 1 for the A3 size original. It has become possible to add sender information to each appropriate position. Furthermore, both A4 size and A3 size originals can be read with a main scanning length of 297 mm, transmitted with a main scanning length of 297 mm, and recorded with a main scanning length of 297 mm.
