Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the facsimile equipment in which a page number or its image is composed on a transmission original. CONSTITUTION:The entry by a ten-key is recognized till facsimile transmission is finished after a start key to start facsimile transmission is depressed and an entered numeral (n) and a page number (p) of a transmission original are composed onto an image of a transmission original in a form of 'p/n'. When the entry of the ten-key is recognized after one sheet of original or over are sent already, the composite of the numerical is made from a succeedingly transmitted page. A composite image is entered in advance and the composite image is composed onto an image of the transmission original when an image composite command key is entered. The ten-key used to enter numerals is adopted for the composite command key and the composite images of plural kinds are entered and a specific number is assigned to each of the images and the assigned composite image is composed onto the image of the transmission original when the ten-key is entered.

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 synthesizing and transmitting a character or an image on a manuscript without adding it to the manuscript.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional facsimile machines have not been able to instruct whether or not to add a page to a document. For this reason, when it is desired to add pages to the transmission document, it is necessary to pre-page the transmission document.

Further, since the conventional facsimile apparatus cannot combine and transmit characters and images, it is necessary to prepare a transmission original in which characters and images are combined before transmission. For this reason, even when the same character or image is combined on each page, it is necessary to create a document in which the character or image is combined on all pages.

[0004]

The above-mentioned conventional techniques have the following problems.

It takes time and effort to write the page number on the document.

If it is not desired to write the page number on the original, it is necessary to make a copy once and presume the page as the original, so that the copy paper is wasted.

Even if the same character or image is added to each page, the same work must be performed on all pages.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a facsimile apparatus having ten keys for inputting a numeral and a start key for starting fax transmission, and after the start key is pressed. By the time the fax transmission is completed, a 10-key recognizing means for recognizing an input from the 10-key and an input number and a transmission when the 10-key recognizing means recognizes an input from the 10-key And a synthesizing unit for synthesizing the page number in the transmission original.

The invention according to a second aspect is the facsimile apparatus according to the first aspect, wherein the synthesizing means sets the inputted number n and the page number p being transmitted to "p /
It is characterized in that it is combined with the transmission original in the format of "n".

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the facsimile apparatus according to the first or second aspect, wherein after the start key is pressed, one or more originals have already been transmitted and then the 10-key recognition is performed. When the means recognizes the input from the 10 key, the combining means performs the combining from the page to be transmitted next.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a facsimile apparatus having a combination instruction key for instructing image combination, and a start key for starting fax transmission. Image input means,
And a synthesizing unit for synthesizing the synthesized image with the transmission original document when there is an input from the synthesis instruction key.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the facsimile apparatus according to the fourth aspect, wherein the combination instruction key is a ten key for inputting a numeral, and the combination image input means is a combination of a plurality of types. There is a means for inputting an image and a means for assigning a unique number to each of the plurality of types of composite images, and the combining means, if there is an input from the 10 key, the input numeral. It is characterized in that a composite image to which is assigned is combined with the transmission document.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the telephone of the telephone 10
It detects the input from the key and combines the image data from the scanner with the image data or character data prepared in advance in the image memory, so pages can be added without writing on the original or the image data read from the scanner. It is possible to combine characters and image data and send by FAX.
