Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile communication system for transmitting image information for a plurality of sheets as an original for each image information of one original.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, a series of ordered originals are sent to the fax machine (the fax machine is abbreviated as the fax machine).
When sending from a fax to the receiving side, the following was done.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a conventional facsimile communication system.

A plurality of originals 2 stacked on the original placing table 1 in the transmitting side FAX 11 are sequentially fed to the reading unit 8 one by one by the sorting piece 5 and the rollers 4, 6, 7. The reading unit 8 reads the fed document 2 for each document, and the transmission unit 9 transmits the read image information to the receiving FAX 12. It should be noted that the plurality of originals 2 are a series of originals in order, and the original is placed on the original table 1 such that the first original is at the bottom and the second original is on top of the first original. It is assumed that the surface on which the image information to be read is written is the bottom surface. Therefore, the originals are fed in order from the first original, and the image information on the read originals is transmitted.

The image information transmitted in this way is received in order from the image information of the first document in the receiving unit 15 of the receiving side FAX 12,
It is recorded on one side 13a of the recording paper 13 at the output unit 16. Next, the recording paper 13 is cut into individual documents and sequentially stacked on the recording paper mounting table 14. At this time, the recording papers are stacked with the surface on which the image information is printed facing upward so that the operator of the receiving FAX can see the contents of the received document.

Therefore, a series of ordered documents are stacked in reverse order on the recording paper placing table 14, and it is troublesome for the receiving side to rearrange the documents.

[Object of the Invention]

It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile communication system capable of outputting a series of originals at a receiving FAX in the reverse order.

[Outline of Invention]

The above object of the present invention can be achieved by providing a storage unit capable of storing image information of a series of originals, reading the image information from the storage unit in the reverse order, and recording the read image information in the receiving FAX. You can

Example of Invention

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on Examples of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is an embodiment in which the receiving side FAX 20 is provided with a storage unit 25.

In the reading section 21, the sender-side FAX 19 follows the order of a series of ordered documents stacked on the document placing table as in the conventional case,
That is, the first document is read in order, and the image information on the document read by the transmitting unit 22 is transmitted to the receiving-side FAX 20.

FIG. 3 shows a transmission / reception procedure when transmitting a series of three originals by the GIII procedure. When a call from the sending FAX 19 arrives at the receiving FAX 20 and the line is connected, the receiving FAX 20 sends a digital identification signal (DIS), and the receiving FAX 20 sends a GI.
Notify the sending FAX 19 that the machine is II compatible. Sender F
In response to the DIS, the AX19 sends a digital command signal (DCS) to notify the receiving FAX 20 of the digital setting command. After that, the training is performed by the training check signal (TCF). When the training is over, the receiving FAX2
A value of 0 notifies the sender FAX 19 that the pre-message procedure is completed by the reception preparation confirmation signal (CFR) and message transmission may be started. Upon receiving the CFR, the sender FAX 19 sends image information (Msg), which is a message, to the receiver FAX 20. When the transmission of the image information for one document is completed, the transmitting FAX 19 sends a multi-leaf signal (MPS). FAX of the receiving side is M
When PS is received, a message confirmation signal (MCF) is sent to notify that additional messages can be received. When the sender FAX 19 receives the MCF, it sends the image information (Msg) of the next document. When the transmission of three originals is completed in this way, the sending FAX 19 sends the procedure end signal (EOP).
To notify that the message transmission is completed.
FAX19 on the sending side receives the MCF and then disconnects the line signal (DCN)
To end the transmission / reception procedure.

Based on this transmission / reception procedure, the receiving unit 2 of the receiving FAX 20
The received image information received in 3 is stored in the storage unit 25 under the control of the control unit 24. Further, the stored image information is read out under the control of the control unit 24. The operation of these control units 24 will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 4 and FIG.

When the CFR is sent from the receiving section 23 (step a), the storage area designation address A + B × N for designating the area in the storage section 25 for storing the received image information is initialized to N = 0 with N = 0. The received image information is sequentially written from the area in the storage unit 25 indicated by the address A, and the image information of the first original is stored in the area 1 (step b). Receiver 23
In the case where MPS is received (step c) after the image information for one full document is received at, the controller increments N by 1.
The storage area designation address A + B × N in 24 becomes A + B, and the image information of the second original is stored in area 2 (step b). Similarly, the image information of the third document is stored in area 3 (step b). When the storage of the received image information in the storage unit 25 is completed, the storage area designation address at this time is set as the read area designation address, and the image information in the storage unit 25 is read based on this read area designation address (step d). That is, at the end of the storage, the storage area designation address A + B × N is A + B × 2, so that the image information in the area 3 is read out. When the reading of the image information for one original in the area 3 is completed, N is decremented by 1 to set the read area designation address A + B × N to A + B, and the image information in the area 2 is read (step d). Similarly, when the reading of the image information in the area 2 is completed, the image information in the area 1 is read (step d).

The image information read by the control of the control unit 24 in this manner is sent to the recording unit 26. Recording unit as shown in FIG.
At 26, the image information output from the output unit 31 is recorded on one side 30a of the recording paper 30. The recording paper 30 on which the image information is recorded is cut into individual documents and sequentially stacked on the recording paper mounting table 32. Therefore, since the image information is read from the storage unit 25 and recorded on the recording paper 30 in the order described above, the recording paper placing table 32 has the upper surface as the front side and the first original 30a from the top and the second original 30a from the top. The originals 30b and the third original 30c are stacked in this order.

According to the present embodiment, a series of ordered documents can be stacked in order on the recording paper table 32 of the receiving FAX, and the trouble of rearranging the recording paper output on the receiving side can be saved.

In this embodiment, the series of originals is three, but the storage unit
It goes without saying that the number of sheets can be any number as long as the storage capacity of 25 allows.

Further, in the present embodiment, transmission and storage of image information may be performed in the form of encoded compressed information or may be performed in the form of raw image information.

Further, in the present embodiment, the storage unit is provided in the receiving FAX,
The storage unit may be provided in a facsimile storage device separate from the receiving side or the transmitting side FAX.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, the image information of a series of originals to be transmitted is once written and stored in the storage unit, and the reading from the storage unit is performed in the reverse order of the writing, whereby the receiving FA
Since the originals can be output in the reverse order on X, the receiving side FAX does not stack a series of originals that are image information in reverse order, and the receiving side does not need to rearrange the originals. The effect of saving time and effort is obtained.
