Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a receiver side to display an emergency document or to sound an audible tone by storing emergency document designation information in a facsimile procedure signal and sending the resulting signal. SOLUTION: The facsimile equipment provided with a read section 3, a coding decoding circuit 4, a transmission reception section 5, an operation panel section 6, a recording section 7, and a display device 9, conducts facsimile communication via a line network 8. An emergency document designation code is assigned to a signal NSS stipulated by the ITU-T recommendations T.30. A receiver side receiving the call signal from a transmitter side sets an emergency document permission code to a signal NSF as a reply. The transmitter side stores an emergency document code to the signal NSS and sends the resulting signal when a transmission document is an emergency document. When the emergency document is designated in the signal NSS, the receiver side recognizes that the FAX document is an emergency FAX document. In this case, a control section 1 at the receiver side blinks a lamp of the display device 9, for example.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a facsimile machine, when transmitting an urgent FAX document, the contents of the urgency are described in the document, or "urgent" etc. There is a method of automatically adding the message to the document to be sent.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus, the operator on the receiving side is FA
Until the X document was read, there was a disadvantage that it was not known that it was an urgent document.

An object of the present invention is to use a display device and audible sound when transmitting an emergency document of a facsimile,
It is to easily inform that it is an emergency transmission.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, a facsimile apparatus of the present invention comprises a registration setting means for designating an urgent document, a means for storing and transmitting urgent document designation information in a facsimile procedure signal. At the time of reception, it is configured to have means for obtaining urgent document designation information from the facsimile procedure signal sent from the transmission side, and means for displaying on the display device or audible sound when an urgent document is received. .

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 is a control unit for controlling the entire apparatus.
2 is a memory that stores the registration status. Reference numeral 3 denotes a reading unit that reads a document to obtain image data. Reference numeral 4 is a coding / decoding circuit that codes or decodes image data. Reference numeral 5 is a transmission / reception unit that transmits / receives a binary code procedure signal and an image signal. 6
Is an operation panel unit that performs key operation at the time of registration setting or activation of transmission or reception. Reference numeral 7 is a recording unit for printing the decoded image data, 8 is a line network, and 9 is a display device.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a procedure sequence in this embodiment. Here, ITU-T Recommendation T. The emergency document designation code is assigned to NSS (non-standard function setting) defined in No. 30. When a calling signal from the transmitting side T arrives, the receiving side R responds to this by CED (callee identification signal), NSF (non-standard function), CSI (callee identification), DIS (digital identification signal). To send. NS
An emergency document permission code 10 is set in F. When the sender T detects the emergency document authorization code in the NSF,
Transmit TSI (transmitting terminal identification) and NSS. NS
The emergency document designation code 11 is stored in S. If the receiving side R receives the NSS and urgent transmission is designated,
Recognize that the fax document sent is an emergency fax. Next, the transmitting side T sends TCF (training check), the receiving side R sends CFR (reception preparation confirmation), the sending side T sends a message (image signal), and when the sending ends, EOP (end of procedure) ) Is sent. When the receiving side R prints the message and completes the reception, it sends MCF (message confirmation), receives the DCN (disconnection command) from the transmitting side T, and returns to the standby state. Here, the lamp is made to blink only when it is an emergency document. The blinking of the lamp may be turned off after a certain period of time has passed, or may be cleared by an operator operating a key (for example, pressing the stop key). The start of blinking the lamp is not limited to the waiting state as long as it is after the emergency document designation code is detected.

Also, by recognizing the emergency document designation code,
Automatically "URGENT" or "Urgent" for received documents
It is also possible to print such as.

In the above example, the NSS stores the urgent document designation code. It may be an original command not specified in 30.

If the partner machine is another company's machine, ITU-
Recommendation T. The operator call signal defined by 30 may be used. The receiving side rings the bell and the buzzer for a certain period of time when there is a call from the transmitting side, but in the present embodiment, the display such as blinking of the lamp and the ringing of the bell are continued thereafter.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the case of transmitting an urgent FAX document, the receiving operator can quickly transmit the urgent document without missing it.
