Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus capable of setting a document face up and reading image information from the last page, and outputting a recorded image face up from the last information page.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a facsimile apparatus which transmits and receives image information of a plurality of pages of a document, in which the document is set face up, and the image information is read from the last page of the document and transmitted. In such a facsimile machine, the recorded image is also output face-up from the final information page.

When direct transmission (sending the read image information as it is) is carried out by the above-mentioned facsimile apparatus, the transmission starts from the final page. When this image information is received by a general facsimile apparatus, the received image information is temporarily stored in the memory, and after the communication is completed, the image information of the last page is printed out.

[0004]

Since the conventional facsimile apparatus is configured as described above, when a document is set face up and direct transmission is performed from the image information of the last page, a general facsimile apparatus will not be used. There is a problem that the recorded images are arranged from the last page and the recording order is reversed.

Further, when the above-mentioned facsimile apparatus receives the image information transmitted from a general facsimile apparatus, recording can be started only after one communication is completed, and the image information for one communication is completely printed. There was a problem that it took time to get out.

At this time, especially when receiving image information transmitted to the memory (stored in the memory and then transmitted), it is very useless to perform page rearrangement processing on both the transmitter side and the receiver side. Becomes

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and image information can be printed out in the order of pages of a document, and the time until printing can be shortened. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple facsimile machine.

It was

(2) In the facsimile apparatus of the above (1), when the image information is read from the first page of the original at the time of transmission, and the receiver side can receive from the first page and rearrangement is not necessary, the reading is performed. In both direct transmission for directly transmitting the image information and memory transmission for storing the read image information in the memory, the image information of the first page of the original is transmitted and the transmission information is notified to the receiver side. I did it.

(3) In the facsimile apparatus of the above (1), when the image information is read from the first page of the original at the time of transmission, when the memory transmission for storing the read image information in the memory and transmitting is selected, the reception is performed. If the machine can receive from the last page and does not require rearrangement, or if it cannot receive from the first page or if rearrangement is required, the image information of the last page of the manuscript is sent and the transmission is performed. The information is notified to the receiver side.

(4) In the facsimile apparatus of (1) above, when the image information is read from the first page of the original at the time of transmission, and the direct transmission for directly transmitting the read image information is selected, the receiver side is the final page. If it is possible to receive from the first page and the rearrangement is not necessary, and if it is not possible to receive from the first page, the image information of the first page of the manuscript is sent, and the sending information is notified to the receiver side.
Also, remember that the destination is good to send from the last page, and for the next direct transmission to the same destination, store the image information in the memory and send it. In addition to transmitting from the information, the transmission information is notified to the transmission destination, or when the image information cannot be stored in the memory, the transmission is performed from the image information of the first page of the document and the transmission information is notified to the transmission destination. I did it.

(5) In the facsimile machine of (1) above, when the image information is read from the first page of the original at the time of transmission, and the direct transmission for directly transmitting the read image information is selected, the receiver side makes the final page. If it is possible to receive from the first page and rearrangement is not necessary, and if reception from the first page is not possible or if rearrangement is necessary, send from the image information of the first page of the original and send it to the same destination. Direct transmission stores the image information in the memory and transmits it. Select whether to perform the memory transmission process to transmit from the image information of the last page of the original or always to directly transmit from the first page of the original. Based on the transmission information, the receiver side is notified.

(6) In the facsimile machine of the above (1), when the image information is read from the last page of the original at the time of transmission and the receiver side can receive from the last page and the rearrangement is not necessary, the reading is performed. In both direct transmission for directly transmitting image information and memory transmission for storing read image information in the memory, the image information of the last page of the original is transmitted and the transmission information is notified to the receiver side. I did it.

(7) In the facsimile machine of the above (1), when the image information is read from the last page of the document at the time of transmission, when the memory transmission for storing the read image information in the memory and transmitting is selected, the reception is performed. If the machine can receive from the first page and does not require rearrangement, or if it cannot receive from the last page or if rearrangement is required, the image information of the first page of the original is sent and the transmission is performed. The information is notified to the receiver side.

If it is possible to receive from, and rearrangement is not necessary, and if it is not possible to receive from the last page, the image information of the last page of the manuscript is sent, and the sending information is notified to the receiver side.
Also, remember that the destination is good to send from the first page. For the next direct transmission to the same destination, store the image information in the memory and send it. In addition to transmitting from the information, the transmission information is notified to the destination, or when the image information cannot be stored in the memory, the image information of the last page of the original is transmitted and the transmission information is notified to the destination. I did it.

(9) In the facsimile apparatus of (1) above, when the image information is read from the last page of the original at the time of transmission, and the direct transmission for directly transmitting the read image information is selected, the receiver side is the first page. If it is possible to receive from the last page and rearrangement is not necessary, and if it is not possible to receive from the last page or if rearrangement is necessary, send from the image information of the last page of the original and send it to the next same destination. Direct transmission stores the image information in the memory and transmits it. Select whether to perform the memory transmission process to transmit from the image information of the first page of the original or always to directly transmit from the last page of the original. Based on the transmission information, the receiver side is notified.

[0018]

In the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, information indicating whether the first page of the document and the last page of the document can be received, and whether the page rearrangement process is necessary are transmitted. The sender side is notified, and the transmitter side controls the order of the pages of the original to be transmitted based on the information sent from the receiver side.

As a result, on the transmitter side, for example, the image information read from the last page of the original by face-up is transmitted from the last page without changing the order, and on the receiver side, face-up recording is performed in the received order. Both the machine side and the receiver side can print out in page order without performing page rearrangement processing.

Further, here, the transmission control of the facsimile A will be described. 2 and 3 show specific examples of this control.

FIG. 2 shows a case where the original reading order at the time of transmission is from the first page. In this case, first, the reading order of the original information on the transmitter side of the facsimile A is from the first page. The manuscript is read face down, starting with the first page. Then, when the direct transmission is selected, the CML is immediately turned on and the pre-procedure is executed.

At this time, the receiver simultaneously notifies the transmitter of whether or not reception from the first page is possible, and when it is possible, the necessity of processing of page rearrangement by the memory or the like on the receiver side is simultaneously notified. , Receiving from the last page is possible or not,
If yes, the necessity of rearrangement by the memory or the like on the receiver side is also notified. This may be assigned to the NSF or DIS FIF.

The transmitter determines the transmission order of the transmission originals based on the information from the receiver and notifies the reception side of the transmission order in the pre-procedure (this is NSS or DC).
S may be allocated to the FIF) and the image signal is transmitted in the notified transmission order. At this time, if the receiver can receive from the first page in the previous procedure and that rearrangement is not necessary, notify the receiver in the previous procedure to transmit from the first page, and actually Transmission is performed from the first page (corresponding to cases 1, 2, and 5).

If the receiver receives the last page from the last page, the rearrangement is unnecessary, and the first page cannot be received, the receiver receives the last page. Notify that the first page will be sent, and actually send from the first page.

At the same time, the destination stores the fact that the transmission from the last page is good in the storage circuit 38, and the direct transmission to the same destination from the next time onward is a memory transmission process, and the information from the last page is transmitted. This is notified to the receiver in the previous procedure, and the image information is actually transmitted from the final page. At this time, if all the information cannot be stored in the memory due to the small amount of information or the large amount of information, the receiver is notified in the pre-procedure that the information from the first page will be transmitted, and the information is actually transmitted from the first page.

That is, when the direct transmission is selected, the information in the storage circuit 38 is first checked before the call is made, and if the destination to be called this time is registered in this circuit 38, the transmission to the memory is started. Yes (corresponding to case 7). Also, if the reception from the last page is possible from the receiver in the previous procedure and rearrangement is not necessary, and if the reception from the first page is not possible or is possible by the rearrangement processing, then the transmission control in case 7 above is performed. The selection circuit 42 selects whether to perform direct transmission or always to perform direct transmission from the first page, and transmission control is performed based on the selection result.

Specifically, if the selection circuit 42 is selected to transmit Case 7, the same transmission control as in Case 7 is performed, and direct transmission from the first page is always performed to the selection circuit 42. If is selected, the receiver is notified of the transmission from the first page in the previous procedure, and the transmission is actually performed from the first page (corresponding to case 3).

If the reception from the first page from the receiver is possible by the rearrangement process in the previous procedure, or if the reception from the last page is possible by the rearrangement process, the transmitter receives the data in the previous procedure. The device is notified that the transmission is from the first page, and the transmission is actually performed from the first page (there is almost no case of this receiver, but corresponds to case 4).

If reception from the first page from the receiver is possible by rearranging in the previous procedure or if reception from the last page is not possible, the same transmission control as in case 4 is performed (this receiver). There is almost no case, but it corresponds to case 6).

If the reception from the first page is impossible from the receiver in the previous procedure and the reception from the last page is possible by rearranging, the same transmission control as in case 7 is performed (in the case of this receiver, Corresponds to Case 8 though it is almost none).

If reception from the first page is impossible from the receiver and reception from the last page is also impossible in the previous procedure, communication is not possible and the line is immediately disconnected (this receiver is used). There is no case, but it corresponds to case 9).

On the other hand, when the memory transmission is selected, the transmission original is first read from the first page, MR encoding of K = 8 is performed, and the image information of all pages is stored in the memory circuit 18. Then, the designated destination is called, the CML is turned on, and the pre-procedure is executed.

Here, if the receiver can receive from the first page in the previous procedure and that rearrangement is not necessary, the receiver is notified in the previous step that the first page is to be transmitted. The information stored in the memory circuit 18 is actually transmitted from the first page (corresponding to cases 10, 11, and 14).

If the receiver can receive the last page from the receiver and rearrangement is not necessary in the previous procedure, or if the reception from the first page is impossible or rearrangement is necessary, the transmitter is In the procedure, the receiver is notified that the information of the last page is to be transmitted, and the information stored in the memory circuit 18 is actually transmitted from the last page (case 12,
16).

When the reception from the first page needs to be rearranged from the receiver in the previous procedure, or the reception from the last page needs to be rearranged, the transmitter uses the selection switch (not shown) to start the transmission. If the transmission from the page is selected, the receiver is informed in the pre-procedure that the transmission is from the first page, and the information stored in the memory circuit 18 is actually transmitted from the first page. Further, if transmission from the last page is selected by the selection switch (not shown), the receiver is notified of the transmission from the last page in the previous procedure, and the data is actually stored in the memory circuit 18 from the last page. Information (there is almost no case of this receiver, but corresponds to case 13).

If it is necessary to rearrange the reception from the first page from the receiver in the previous procedure, or if the reception from the last page is impossible, the transmitter sends the first page to the receiver in the previous procedure. The transmission is notified, and the information stored in the memory circuit 18 is actually transmitted from the first page (there is almost no case of this receiver, but corresponds to case 15).

When the receiver cannot receive from the first page in the previous procedure and the reception from the last page needs to be rearranged, the transmitter transmits to the receiver from the last page in the previous procedure. Then, the information stored in the memory circuit 18 is actually transmitted from the last page (corresponding to case 17 although there are almost no cases of this receiver).

If the reception from the first page is impossible and the reception from the last page is impossible from the receiver in the previous procedure, communication is not possible and the line is immediately disconnected (this receiver is used). There is no case, but it corresponds to case 18).

Next, transmission control of the facsimile B (facsimile for reading document information from the last page) will be described. FIG. 3 shows a specific example of this control.

In this case, since the facsimile B is used first, the reading order of the document information on the transmitter side is from the last page. That is, for example, the original is set face up, and the reading starts from the last page.

Here, if the direct transmission is selected,
Immediately turn on CML and perform pre-procedures. Then, from the receiver to the transmitter, whether the reception from the first page is possible or not,
If yes, the receiver will be notified at the same time of the need for rearrangement by memory etc., and the reception from the last page is possible,
