Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus for printing a stamp on a transmitted document, and more particularly to facilitating confirmation of the transmitted party.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a facsimile apparatus, there is used an apparatus that prints an end stamp on a transmitted original document to make it clear that the original has already been transmitted. If all the printed original stamps are printed on the transmitted original document, it may not be desirable to print a convenient completed stamp depending on the transmitted original document. For this reason, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-16779, a stamp is printed with an ink that is not normally visible, and a coloring agent is used to make it visible when necessary.

[0003]

However, even if the original stamp is printed on the transmitted original document, it was not possible to confirm whether the original document was transmitted to a normal destination. For example, if you mistakenly enter the telephone number of the other party and send the image information of the original, but you do not notice that the operator incorrectly entered the telephone number, check the completed stamp and send it to the normal destination. It will be judged that it has been sent, and the necessary manuscript will not reach the normal recipient. Further, when the operator mistakenly sends different originals to two destinations, sets them in the facsimile machine and sends them by using the speed dial, even if the completed stamp indicating the transmission is printed. Sometimes, you do not know to whom you sent it, and you may not notice the transmission error.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a facsimile apparatus capable of accurately confirming the destination of a transmission by a stamp indicating that the original has been transmitted. It is what

[0005]

A facsimile apparatus according to the present invention has a number reading storage section and a stamp printing section, and the number reading storage section reads and temporarily stores an input destination telephone number. The stamp printing section is characterized in that the lower one digit or a plurality of digits of the destination telephone number read by the number reading storage section are selected, read and printed on the transmitted original.

It is preferable that the stamp printing section prints the number to be printed on the transmitted original in a segmented manner.

Further, it is preferable that the stamp printing section prints the number to be printed on the transmitted original with fluorescent ink.

[0008]

According to the present invention, when a destination telephone number is input to send a document, the number reading storage unit reads and temporarily stores the input destination telephone number. The contents of the original are read and sent to the other party, and before the read original is ejected, the stamp printing section prints the part of the recipient's telephone number read by the number reading storage section as the finished stamp. Printed on and identify the other party who sent it.

When a part of the destination telephone number is printed as a stamp, the segment stamp is printed, thereby simplifying the structure of the stamp printing part.

Further, the stamp is printed with a fluorescent ink which is usually invisible and an extra number is not clearly shown on the original, and when confirming the other party, light is applied to confirm.

1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the facsimile apparatus includes a control unit 1 that manages the operation of the entire apparatus, a display unit 2 that displays the operating state and the contents of operations performed by the operator, a reading unit 3 that reads a document to be transmitted, and a reception unit. A printing unit 4 for printing an image, an operation unit 5 for inputting a destination telephone number and various processing operations, a communication control unit 6 for controlling communication with a line network, various control data and transmission / reception. Storage unit 7 for storing image information
And a number reading / storing unit 8 and a stamp printing unit 9.

The number reading / storing unit 8 reads and temporarily stores the other party's telephone number input by a speed dial or a key when transmitting a document. The stamp printing section 9 is, for example, 1
As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2, it has a rotary printer having a digit or a two-digit number, and as shown in the perspective view of FIG.
It is provided in the vicinity of 1 and prints a one-digit or two-digit number as a stamp on a transmitted document.

Next, the operation of transmitting the original 10 by the facsimile apparatus configured as described above will be described.

Place the original 10 on the facsimile machine,
Operate the operation unit 5 to input the other party's telephone number using a speed dial or a keypad, and when the line is connected, read the original 10 into the reading unit 3
Then, the reading unit 3 reads the image information of the original 10 and starts transmission to the other party. When the line is connected to start this transmission, the number reading storage unit 8 reads the input destination telephone number and temporarily stores it. On the other hand, the manuscript 10 from which the image information is read and transmitted is transferred from the reading unit 3 to the paper discharge unit 11
Sent to. The completed stamp printing unit 9 causes the paper output unit 11 to print the original 1
When 0 is sent, a part of the other party's telephone number stored in the number reading storage unit 8, for example, the lower 1 digit or the lower 2 digits, is read, and the read number is displayed, for example, as shown in the explanatory diagram of FIG. Before the original document 10 is ejected, an end stamp 12 is printed on the end portion of the original document 10. This process applies to all manuscripts 1
This is repeated until 0 is transmitted, and a part of the destination telephone number is printed as the completed stamp 12 on the transmitted document 10.

Since a part of the telephone number of the other party is printed as the stamp 12 on all the documents 10 thus transmitted, the operator confirms the numbers on the stamp 12 to confirm that the document 10 is normal. It is possible to immediately confirm whether or not the data has been transmitted to the other party. Therefore, when the original 10 is sent to the wrong destination, the original 10 can be retransmitted to the normal destination, or the wrong destination can be immediately contacted.

In the above embodiment, the stamp printing section 9 has a rotary type printing device. However, a segment type number 13 printing device as shown in FIG. 4 may be provided. . In this way, the segment type number 1
By using the printing device for printing 3, it is possible to further simplify the structure of the finished stamp printing portion 9.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where a part of the telephone number of the destination is printed as a stamp for clear confirmation on the transmitted original 10 has been explained, but the destination is usually invisible fluorescent ink. A part of the telephone number may be printed as a stamp. In this way, by printing with fluorescent ink that is not normally visible, it is possible to prevent extra numbers from being clearly marked on the original 10. Also, when confirming the other party who sent it, by applying normal light, or by applying light of a special wavelength depending on the type of fluorescent ink,
It is possible to easily confirm that the original has been sent and the other party who sent it.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, when a destination telephone number is input to send an original, the input destination telephone number is read and temporarily stored, and the original is sent. Since a part of the other party's telephone number is printed as a stamp, it is possible to reliably confirm whether or not the original has already been transmitted and the other party to whom it has been transmitted. Therefore, when the original is sent to the wrong destination, the subsequent processing can be performed quickly.

Further, when a part of the destination telephone number is printed as a stamp, the segment stamp can be used to simplify the structure of the stamp stamping portion and to perform clean printing. .

Furthermore, by printing the stamp with fluorescent ink that is not normally visible, it is possible to prevent extra numbers from being clearly displayed on the document, and to determine whether the document has already been transmitted and whether the other party has transmitted it. You can check easily.
