Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly, to a multi-feed page during transmission by collecting information regarding each page of a document transmitted during document transmission and outputting the information after the transmission is completed. The present invention relates to a facsimile device that can inform a user whether it has occurred.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile machine, when a user who is a sender wants to know which page could not be transmitted due to a double feed during document transmission, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 63-135213. In the specification, "print the transmission information on the back side of the transmission original instead of the transmitted stamp" or in the specification of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 63-029049, "When transmitting the original, the original facsimile is directly sent to the original. I used the function of "printing number, transmission date, etc."

That is, the original purpose of these is to leave information at the time of transmission on the transmitted document, but the information is printed on all pages of the transmitted document, If there is a page on which no information is printed, it can be determined that the page was not sent by double feeding.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus, since the transmission information is directly written on the transmitted document, the same document can be repeatedly used and transmitted to a plurality of destinations. However, even if the contents are the same, it is uneconomical to prepare a new document for each person.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems inherent in the prior art. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to output a transmission record separately from the transmission document, so that the transmission document cannot be used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new facsimile apparatus that allows a user to know a page that could not be transmitted by double feeding without doing so.

[0006]

To achieve the above object, a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention comprises a scanner for reading a document to be transmitted and a page counter for counting the number of sheets read by the scanner and storing the value. , The transmission detail record print switch that is pressed before transmission when the user selects to output the transmission detail record for knowing that a double feed has occurred at the time of document transmission, and the transmission detail record form are stored. The transmission detail record form storage section, the telephone number storage section that stores the telephone number of the recipient to be used as data when creating the transmission detail record, and the data when creating the transmission detail record Data recording unit for transmission detail recording that stores information about each page of the transmitted document for transmission, and transmission when the transmission detail recording switch is pressed The information on each page of the document that has been collected is sent to the transmission detail recording data recording section for storage, and after the document transmission is completed, the transmission detail recording form storage section, the telephone number storage section, and the transmission detail recording data recording section And a transmission detail record creation F / W storage unit that stores an F / W that performs a series of operations of reading the data of 1 to create and output a transmission detail record.

The scanner 17 informs the page counter 18 every time one page has been read (process 109), whereby the value in the page counter 18 is incremented by 1 (process 110). The data read by the scanner 17 is stored in the modem input / output buffer 5 until one page is collected, then transmitted by the transmitting unit 13, modulated by the modem 15, and then transferred to the NCU 1.
It is sent to the other party via 6 (process 113).

When the transmission detail record print switch 11 is "ON" (that is, when the determination 111 is YES), the F in the transmission detail record creation F / W recording section 2-2 is selected.
In accordance with / W, data for the top ⅛ page of the page is sent from the modem input / output buffer 5 to the transmission detail recording data recording section 8, and the page counter 18 also
The value in the page counter sent from, that is, the page number of the page is stored until the document transmission is completed (process 112). If there are still pages to be transmitted (that is, if the determination 114 is “ON”), the process returns to the process 109 and the same operation is repeated.

When transmission of all pages is completed (S
If the determination 114 is YES), then send summary record creation F
The transmission summary record is created and output according to the F / W in the / W recording unit 2-1.

As described above, the telephone number storage unit 7 stores the telephone number, and the page counter 18 stores the page number of the last page transmitted, that is, the total number of transmitted pages. Further, the transmission summary record form storage unit 3 stores a form for creating a transmission summary record in which the telephone number of the destination and the number of pages transmitted are described.

First, the transmission summary recording form storage unit 3
The telephone number read out from the telephone number storage unit 7 and the total number of transmitted pages read out from the page counter 18 are inserted into the form in, and a transmission summary record of all one page is created in the print buffer 6. . The created transmission outline record is sent to the printing unit 23, and is printed in the same manner as a document received by a normal receiving operation (process 115).

The transmission detail record print switch 11 is set to "OF".
In the case of F "(that is, if the determination 116 is NO), the transmission operation is completed. When the transmission detail record print switch 11 is" ON "(that is, the determination 116 is Y).
If it is ES), then send detailed record creation F / W recording unit 2
The transmission detail record is created and output according to the F / W within -2.

As described above, the transmission detail recording data recording section 8 stores the data of the transmitted upper page side 1/8 page of each page together with the page number of the page. The transmission detail record form storage unit 4 is a form for creating a transmission detail record in which the page number of each transmitted page and the data for the upper 1/8 page of the page are described as a pair. Is remembered. Eight pages of the data in the transmission detail recording data recording unit 8 are inserted into the form in the transmission detail recording form storage unit 4, and the transmission detail record is created in the print buffer 6. The created transmission detail record is sent to the printing unit 23 and printed in the same manner as a document received by a normal receiving operation.

This is repeated until all the data in the transmission detail recording data recording section 8 is output as the transmission detail recording (process 117). The transmission operation when the transmission detail record print switch 11 is "ON" is completed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a document of all 20 pages, in which the page number is written in advance by the user within the range of 1/8 page of the upper end side of each page of this document. And When you send this document,
It is assumed that double feeding occurs on the 4th and 5th pages and the 5th page cannot be transmitted. Then, in the transmission summary record of FIG. 4, the page number is output as 19 pages, and it can be seen that one page was not transmitted compared to the original document, but the user cannot tell which page it is. do not know. However, in the detailed transmission record of FIG. 5, the page number and the data for the top ⅛ page of the page are described as a pair. It can be seen that 1/8 page data at the top of the page no longer correspond. As a result, the user can infer that the page that could not be transmitted by double feeding is the fifth page.

[0033]

As described above, according to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, the transmission record indicating the page number at which the multi-feed occurs during the document transmission is output separately from the transmission document. The user can be notified of the fact that the transmitted document cannot be reused by writing the transmission record.

Further, according to the present invention, when retransmitting a document, it is sufficient to send only the page in which a double feed has occurred, or only the subsequent pages, so that the document transmission work can be made efficient. The effect is obtained.
