BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus provided with image recording means using an electrophotographic process as an image forming process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, facsimile machines provided with an image recording apparatus (for example, a laser printer) using an electrophotographic process as an image forming process have been increasing. Such an image recording apparatus generally has a fine image, a halftone image expressed in multiple gradations (for example, a photographic image, etc.).
Can be recorded and output, and the recording image quality is very good in many cases.

An image recording apparatus using an electrophotographic process includes a fixing step for fixing a toner image on a recording sheet onto which toner has been transferred, as a final step. Is provided with a heating unit for dissolving the toner and fixing it on the recording paper.

[0004]

The heating unit of the fixing unit requires a certain period of time from when it is started to when a required fixing temperature is reached. For example, the heating unit is turned off while waiting for reception and an incoming call is detected. If the heating unit is sometimes turned on, the heating unit does not reach the fixing temperature when the image information is received, and it takes a long time to record and output the received image.

To cope with such a situation, for example,
It is conceivable that the heating unit of the fixing unit of the image recording apparatus is always kept at the fixing temperature, but the facsimile apparatus needs to be always in a reception standby state,
The receiving operation is not always performed, and in such a case, there is a disadvantage that wasteful power is consumed.

Further, when an incoming call is detected, the power of the heating unit of the fixing unit is turned on, the received data is temporarily stored in a memory, and an image of the stored received data is recorded and output after the heating unit reaches a required temperature. Some have been proposed (see JP-A-2-21773), but in such a case,
In order to be able to cope with a large amount of received data, it is necessary to secure a sufficient capacity of a temporary memory for storing the received data, which causes a problem that the apparatus cost increases.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of shortening a waiting time until recording and outputting a received image when receiving image information and realizing power saving. And

The encoding / decoding section 8 encodes and compresses the image signal, and decodes the encoded and compressed image information into the original image signal.
This is for storing a large number of image information in a coded and compressed state.

The network control device 10 is for connecting the facsimile machine to a public telephone line network and has an automatic transmission / reception function.

The group 3 facsimile modem 11 is for realizing the modem function of the group 3 facsimile. The group 3 facsimile modem 11 has a low-speed modem function (V.21 modem) for exchanging transmission procedure signals and mainly exchanges image information. High-speed modem function (V.17 modem,
V. 34 modem, V.34. 29 modem, V.29. 27ter modem etc.).

The ID receiving modem 12 is for receiving the calling telephone number notified by the calling telephone number notification service of the network.
Is for detecting an activation signal (ID reception terminal activation signal) of the network transmission telephone number notification service.

The communication control unit 14 executes a predetermined group 3 facsimile transmission procedure process, and also executes a procedure process for a calling number notification service of the network. The telephone 15 is attached to the network control device 10 and used for a telephone call.

The internal bus 16 includes a CPU 1, a ROM 2, an R
AM 3, operation display unit 4, scanner 5, plotter 6, encoding / decoding unit 8, image storage device 9, and communication control unit 1
4 for exchanging data, and is driven by the bus control function of the CPU 1.

Here, the outgoing telephone number notification service of the network will be described.

On the line receiving the calling number notification service, the local exchange performs a calling operation to the ID receiving terminal in a sequence as shown in FIG.

That is, the subscriber line exchange first inverts the polarities of the lines L1 and L2, and then transmits a predetermined ID receiving terminal activation signal. As a result, the ID receiving terminal forms a DC loop as a primary response signal.

In this way, when the ID receiving terminal makes a primary response, the local exchange changes the calling ID (caller telephone number) and the like into a modem signal (for example, V.2) of a predetermined signal format (described later).
When the ID receiving terminal receives the modem signal, it breaks the DC loop as a reception completion signal.

When the ID receiving terminal completes receiving the calling ID in this way, the subscriber line exchange sends out a predetermined calling signal, and the ID receiving terminal responds to the calling signal and outputs a DC signal as a secondary response signal. A loop is formed, whereby the local exchange depolarizes the lines L1 and L2, and thereafter, a normal telephone call (communication) operation is performed.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a signal format of a modem signal when transmitting a calling ID or the like in such a calling sequence.

The signal format includes a control signal SOH indicating the start of the heading of the information message, a header for transmitting information from the exchange to the terminal, a control signal STX indicating the start of the text and the end of the heading, and the contents of the transmission information. Service type for notifying that it is a caller notification service, subsequent parameters (1) to parameter (n)
The message content length for indicating the total number of bytes up to, the parameters (1) to (n) forming the content of the transmission information, the control signal ETX indicating the end of the text, and the error detection code CHK are sequentially arranged. is there. A predetermined transmission mode control signal DLE is added immediately before each control signal.

Each of the parameters includes parameter type information indicating the type of the parameter, information content length information indicating the number of bytes of the information content, and information content indicating the information to be transmitted (in this case, the caller number). It consists of long information.

Each control signal is composed of data having a length of 7 bits per word.

With the above configuration, in the group 3 facsimile apparatus, in the reception standby state, the heater of the fixing unit 7 of the plotter 6 is turned off, and the processing as shown in FIG. 4 is performed.

That is, first, an ID receiving terminal activation signal, which is an activation signal of the calling telephone terminal notification service, is transmitted from the network to the I
The D reception terminal activation signal detection unit 13 monitors the detection (NO loop of the determination 101), the ID reception terminal activation signal detection unit 13 detects the ID reception terminal activation signal, and the result of the determination 101 is YES. Is reached, the plotter 6 is instructed to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (process 102), whereby the plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 becomes lower. To rise.

Next, a primary response signal is sent to the network (process 103), and the process waits until a calling ID is received from the network (NO loop in decision 104). When receiving the calling ID from the network,
This calling ID is received by the ID receiving modem 12,
The communication control unit 14 is notified.

Further, since the calling ID has been received, a reception completion signal is sent to the network (process 105), and the process waits until a calling signal is received from the network (NO loop of decision 106). When the call signal is received from the network and the result of decision 106 is YES,
A secondary response signal is sent to the network (process 107), whereby a line is established with the partner terminal.

Next, a predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation is started with the partner terminal using the established line (step 108), and the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature. Wait (NO loop of decision 109).

When the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches a predetermined fixing temperature and the result of the judgment 109 is YES, a printing process for recording and outputting the image of the received image information is started (process 110).

Here, in the group 3 facsimile communication operation, the received image information is sequentially stored in a predetermined temporary buffer, and the printing process is performed by encoding / decoding the image information stored in the temporary buffer by the encoding / decoding unit 8. The image signal is decoded into an image signal, and the obtained image signal is transferred to the plotter 6 to record and output the received image.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the fixing unit of the plotter 6 at the time when the ID receiving terminal start signal which is the start signal of the calling telephone number notification service is received from the network, that is, before the start of the receiving operation. Since the heater 7 is turned on, the data amount of the received image information stored in the temporary buffer can be suppressed before the heater temperature reaches the predetermined fixing temperature, and the recording output of the received image can be performed earlier. Can be done from

In the above-described embodiment, the same processing is applied to all the transmitting terminals. However, only for the transmitting terminals registered in advance, the heater of the fixing unit 7 of the plotter 6 before the start of the receiving operation. Can be turned on.

Accordingly, in this case, since the recording operation of the received image is performed early only for the registered transmitting terminal, the user can distinguish between the partner terminal that records the received image early and the partner terminal that does not. Can be set.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a process when the calling terminal is registered by the user.

When the registration mode is input by the user and the result of determination 120 is YES, the user is caused to perform the input operation of the calling ID (processing 121, determination 122).
NO loop), the input source ID is stored in a predetermined source ID registration table (not shown) formed in the RAM 3. Further, when the input operation of one source ID is completed, the processing loop of the processing 121 and the judgment 122 is repeated until an instruction to finish the registration is issued.

FIG. 6 shows a processing example of the group 3 facsimile apparatus in the reception standby state in this case.

That is, first, the ID receiving terminal activation signal, which is the activation signal of the calling telephone terminal notification service, is transmitted from the network to the I
The D receiving terminal activation signal detection unit 13 monitors the detection (NO loop of the determination 130), the ID reception terminal activation signal detection unit 13 detects the ID reception terminal activation signal, and the result of the determination 130 is YES. , A primary response signal is sent to the network (process 131), and the process waits until a calling ID is received from the network (decision 132).

When the calling ID is received from the network, it is checked whether or not the received calling ID is registered in the calling ID registration table (decision 133), and when the result of judgment 133 is YES, the registered calling ID is not registered. A flag FRG for storing the fact is set (processing 135).
A command is sent to the plotter 6 to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (process 136). As a result, the plotter 6 is
Are turned on, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 rises.

Since the calling ID has been received, a reception completion signal is sent to the network (process 137), and the process waits until a calling signal is received from the network (NO loop in decision 138). When the call signal is received from the network and the result of decision 138 is YES,
A secondary response signal is sent to the network (process 139), whereby a line is established with the partner terminal.

Next, a predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation is started with the partner terminal using the established line (step 140), and it is checked whether or not the flag FRG is set (decision 141). The result of decision 141 is N
When it becomes O, a command is issued to the plotter 6 to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (process 142).

Next, the process waits until the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches a predetermined fixing temperature (NO loop of decision 143). When the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature, If the result is YES, a printing process for recording and outputting the image of the received image information is started (process 144).

Here, in the group 3 facsimile communication operation, the received image information is sequentially stored in a predetermined temporary buffer, and the printing process is performed by encoding / decoding the image information stored in the temporary buffer by the encoding / decoding unit 8. The image signal is decoded into an image signal, and the obtained image signal is transferred to the plotter 6 to record and output the received image.

Since the group 3 facsimile apparatus shares a line with the telephone set 15, there is a case where a setting is made such that an incoming call to the telephone set 15 is prioritized at the time of reception.

FIG. 7 shows an example of processing at the time of reception standby which can cope with such a case.

That is, first, the ID receiving terminal activation signal, which is the activation signal of the calling telephone terminal notification service, is transmitted from the network to the I
The D receiving terminal activation signal detecting unit 13 monitors the detection (NO loop of the determination 150), the ID receiving terminal activation signal detecting unit 13 detects the ID receiving terminal activation signal, and the result of the determination 150 is YES. At that time, it is checked whether or not the telephone mode is set to specify that the telephone 15 should be prioritized when receiving a call (decision 151).
If the result of step 51 is NO, it means that the facsimile mode has been set to specify that the facsimile operation should be prioritized at the time of an incoming call, so the plotter 6 is instructed to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (step 152). Accordingly, the plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 increases. Also,
When the result of the determination 151 is YES, the process 152
Do not execute.

Next, a primary response signal is sent to the network (process 153), and the process waits until a calling ID is received from the network (decision 154). When the caller ID is received from the network,
Is received by the ID receiving modem 12 and notified to the communication control unit 14.

Since the calling ID has been received, a reception completion signal is sent to the network (process 155), and the process waits until a calling signal is received from the network (NO loop in decision 156). When the call signal is received from the network and the result of decision 156 is YES,
A secondary response signal is sent to the network (process 157), whereby a line is established with the partner terminal.

Here, it is checked whether or not the telephone mode is set (decision 158), and the result of decision 158 is NO
, A predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation is started with the partner terminal using the established line (step 159), and the process waits until the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature. (NO loop of decision 160).

When the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches a predetermined fixing temperature and the result of the judgment 160 is YES, a printing process for recording and outputting the image of the received image information is started (process 161).

Here, in the group 3 facsimile communication operation, the received image information is sequentially stored in a predetermined temporary buffer, and the printing process is performed by encoding / decoding the image information stored in the temporary buffer by the encoding / decoding unit 8. The image signal is decoded into an image signal, and the obtained image signal is transferred to the plotter 6 to record and output the received image.

When the telephone mode is set and the result of decision 158 is YES, the system waits until the call ends (NO loop of decision 162), ends the call and goes on-hook, and the result of decision 162 is YES. To become and,
This operation ends.

Thus, when an incoming call is detected, the telephone 15
Is given priority, the heater of the fixing unit 7 of the plotter 6 is not turned on, so that wasteful power consumption is suppressed and power cost can be suppressed.

With the above configuration, in the group 3 facsimile apparatus, in the reception standby state, only the sub power supply PB is output by the power supply unit 33 and only the unit SB is operated. In this state, as shown in FIG. Perform such processing.

That is, first, the CPU 26 monitors occurrence of any event of turning on the main power supply PA of the power supply unit 33 (determination 301).
When the main power-on event occurs and the result of determination 301 is YES, the occurrence event is notified by the communication control unit 25 that the ID reception terminal activation signal detection unit 13 has detected the ID reception terminal activation signal. (Determination 302), and when the result of determination 302 is YES, a predetermined register of the input / output circuit 32 (hereinafter, referred to as a predetermined register).

Then, it is checked whether or not a bit indicating the detection of the ID receiving terminal activation signal in the event register is set (decision 307). If the result of the decision 307 is N
When it becomes O, a process corresponding to the content of the event register at that time is started (process 308), and this operation ends.

When the result of determination 307 is YES, the plotter 6 is turned on so that the heater of the fixing section 7 is turned on.
(Step 309). Accordingly, the plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 increases.

Next, a primary response signal is sent to the network (process 310), and the process waits until a calling ID is received from the network (NO loop of decision 311). When receiving the calling ID from the network,
This calling ID is received by the ID receiving modem 12,

Only when the receiving terminal activation signal is received, the heater of the fixing unit 7 of the plotter 6 is turned on, so that useless power consumption can be suppressed.

By the way, in the embodiment of FIG. 13, the same processing is applied to all the transmitting terminals, but only for the transmitting terminals registered in advance, the fixing unit 7 of the plotter 6 before the start of the receiving operation. The heater may be turned on.

Therefore, in this case, the recording operation of the received image is performed early only for the registered transmitting terminal, so that the user can distinguish between the partner terminal that performs the recording operation of the received image early and the partner terminal that does not. Can be set.

[0159] In this case, the process when the calling terminal is registered by the user is the same as that in FIG. 5, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 14 shows a processing example of the group 3 facsimile apparatus in the reception standby state in this case.

That is, first, the CPU 26 monitors whether any event of turning on the main power supply PA of the power supply unit 33 has occurred (decision 320).
When the main power-on event occurs and the result of determination 301 is YES, the occurrence event is notified by the communication control unit 25 that the ID reception terminal activation signal detection unit 13 has detected the ID reception terminal activation signal. (Determination 321). When the result of determination 321 is YES, a predetermined register (hereinafter, referred to as an input / output circuit 32)

When the result of step 2 is NO, the bit corresponding to the event that has occurred at that time in the event register is set (step 323).

Next, the main power supply is instructed to the power supply unit 33 (process 324), and the output of the power supply unit 33 is switched to the main power supply PA. As a result, the main power supply PA is output, and the CPU 1 is activated. Thereby,
First, the CPU 1 reads the contents of the event register of the input / output circuit 32 (process 325).

Then, it is checked whether or not a bit indicating the detection of the ID receiving terminal activation signal in the event register is set (decision 326), and the result of the decision 326 is N
When it becomes O, the process corresponding to the content of the event register at that time is started (process 327), and this operation is ended.

When the result of decision 326 is YES, a primary response signal is sent to the network (process 32).
8). As a result, since the calling ID is received from the network, it is checked whether the received calling ID is registered in the calling ID registration table (decision 330), and when the result of the judgment 330 becomes YES, the registered calling ID is used. In addition to setting a flag FRG for storing the fact that
31) The plotter 6 is turned on so that the heater of the fixing unit 7 is turned on.
(Step 332). Accordingly, the plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 increases.

Since the calling ID has been received, a reception completion signal is sent to the network (step 333), and the process waits until a calling signal is received from the network (NO loop in decision 334). When the call signal is received from the network and the result of decision 334 is YES,
A secondary response signal is sent to the network (process 335), whereby a line is established with the partner terminal.

Next, a predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation is started with the partner terminal using the established line (process 336), and it is checked whether the flag FRG is set (determination 337). The result of decision 337 is N
When it becomes O, a command is issued to the plotter 6 to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (process 338).

Next, the process waits until the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature (NO loop of the judgment 339), and the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature. If the result is YES, a printing process for recording and outputting the image of the received image information is started (process 340).

Here, in the group 3 facsimile communication operation, the received image information is sequentially stored in a predetermined temporary buffer, and the printing process is performed by the encoding / decoding section 8 converting the image information stored in the temporary buffer to the original image. The image signal is decoded into an image signal, and the obtained image signal is transferred to the plotter 6 to record and output the received image.

Since the line of the group 3 facsimile apparatus is shared with the telephone set 15, there is a case where the incoming call to the telephone set 15 is prioritized at the time of reception.

FIG. 15 shows an example of a process at the time of reception standby which can cope with such a case.

That is, first, the CPU 26 monitors whether any event of turning on the main power supply PA of the power supply unit 33 has occurred (determination 350).
When the sleep mode release event occurs and the result of determination 350 becomes YES, the occurrence event is notified from the communication control unit 25 that the ID reception terminal activation signal detection unit 13 has detected the ID reception terminal activation signal. (Determination 351), and the result of determination 351 is YE
When it becomes S, a bit corresponding to the detection of the ID receiving terminal activation signal is set in a predetermined register (hereinafter, referred to as an event register) of the input / output circuit 32 (process 352). The bit corresponding to the event that occurred at that time in the register is set (process 353).

Then, the power supply unit 33 is instructed to turn on the main power supply (process 354), and the output of the power supply unit 33 is switched to the main power supply PA. As a result, the main power supply PA is output, and the CPU 1 is activated. Thereby,
First, the CPU 1 reads the contents of the event register of the input / output circuit 32 (process 355).

Then, it is checked whether or not a bit indicating the detection of the ID receiving terminal start signal in the event register is set (decision 356).
When it becomes O, the process corresponding to the content of the event register at that time is started (process 357), and this operation ends.

If the result of decision 356 is YES, then at that time, it is checked whether or not a telephone mode has been set which specifies that the telephone 15 should be prioritized when receiving a call (decision 358). Is NO, it means that the facsimile mode is set to give priority to the facsimile operation at the time of the incoming call, so the plotter 6 is instructed to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (process 359). The plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 increases. In addition, the result of decision 358 is YES
, The process 359 is not executed.

Next, a primary response signal is transmitted to the network (process 360), and the process waits until a calling ID is received from the network (decision 361). When the caller ID is received from the network,
Is received by the ID receiving modem 12 and notified to the communication control unit 14.

Further, since the calling ID has been received, a reception completion signal is sent to the network (process 362), and the process waits until a calling signal is received from the network (NO loop in decision 363). When the call signal is received from the network and the result of decision 363 is YES,
A secondary response signal is sent to the network (process 364), whereby a line is established with the partner terminal.

Here, it is checked whether or not the telephone mode is set (decision 365), and the result of decision 365 is NO.
, A predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation is started with the partner terminal using the established line (step 366), and the process waits until the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature. (NO loop of decision 367).

When the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature and the result of the judgment 367 is YES, a printing process for recording and outputting the image of the received image information is started (process 368).

Here, in the group 3 facsimile communication operation, the received image information is sequentially stored in a predetermined temporary buffer, and the printing process is performed by encoding / decoding the image information stored in the temporary buffer by the encoding / decoding unit 8. The image signal is decoded into an image signal, and the obtained image signal is transferred to the plotter 6 to record and output the received image.

If the telephone mode is set and the result of determination 365 is YES, the system waits until the call ends (NO loop of determination 369), ends the call and goes on-hook, and the result of determination 369 is YES. To become and,
This operation ends.

In this way, when an incoming call is detected, the telephone 15
Is given priority, the heater of the fixing unit 7 of the plotter 6 is not turned on, so that wasteful power consumption is suppressed and power cost can be suppressed.

It is checked whether a bit indicating the detection of the receiving terminal activation signal is set (decision 507). If the result of decision 507 is NO, the return factor register 2 at that time is checked.
A process corresponding to the content of the second item is activated (process 508), and this operation ends.

When the result of determination 507 is YES, the plotter 6 is turned on so that the heater of the fixing section 7 is turned on.
(Step 509). Accordingly, the plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 increases.

On the other hand, the ID receiving terminal device 38 independently executes a predetermined calling telephone number notification service procedure process with the network.

Only when the D receiving terminal activation signal is received, the plotter 6
Since the heater of the fixing unit 7 is turned on, wasteful power consumption can be suppressed.

By the way, in the processing example of FIG. 20, the same processing is applied to all the transmitting terminals, but only for the transmitting terminals registered in advance, the fixing unit 7 of the plotter 6 before the start of the receiving operation. The heater may be turned on.

Therefore, in this case, the recording operation of the received image is performed early only for the registered transmitting terminal, so that the user can distinguish between the partner terminal that performs the recording operation of the received image early and the partner terminal that does not. Can be set.

The process for registering the calling terminal by the user in this case is the same as that in FIG. 5, and the description is omitted.

FIG. 22 shows a processing example of the group 3 facsimile apparatus in the reception standby state in this case.

That is, first, it is monitored that any event for canceling the sleep mode of the CPU 20 has occurred (judgment 520). It is checked whether or not the occurrence event is "ID detection terminal activation signal detection has been notified from ID reception terminal device 38" (decision 521). If the result of decision 521 is YES, ID reception terminal activation signal detection Is set (process 522), and if the result of determination 521 is NO, the bit of the return factor register 22 corresponding to the event that occurred at that time is set (process 523).

Next, the sleep mode of the CPU 20 is released, and the CPU 20 is set to the normal operation mode (process 524). Accordingly, the CPU 20 first reads the contents of the return factor register 22 (process 525).

The process corresponding to the content of the second item is started (process 527), and this operation ends.

When the result of determination 526 is YES, the calling ID is received from ID receiving terminal device 38 (process 528).

Next, it is determined whether or not the received calling ID is registered in the calling ID registration table (determination 52).
9) If the result of determination 529 is YES, a flag FRG for storing that the ID is a registered ID is set (process 530), and the plotter 6 is instructed to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7. (Step 531).
Thereby, the plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7 and
From that point, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 increases. On the other hand, when the result of determination 529 is NO, processing 53
Do not execute 0,531.

On the other hand, the ID receiving terminal device 38 independently executes a predetermined calling telephone number notification service procedure with the network. Therefore, in this group 3 facsimile device, the ID receiving terminal device 38 Wait until a call signal is received (NO loop in decision 532). If a paging signal is received from the network and the result of decision 532 is YES, a secondary response signal is sent to the network (process 533), whereby a line is established with the partner terminal.

Next, a predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation is started with the partner terminal using the established line (process 534), and it is checked whether the flag FRG is set (determination 535). The result of decision 535 is N
When it becomes O, a command is issued to the plotter 6 to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (process 536).

Next, the process waits until the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches a predetermined fixing temperature (NO loop of decision 537). When the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature, If the result is YES, a printing process for recording and outputting the image of the received image information is started (process 538).

Here, in the group 3 facsimile communication operation, the received image information is sequentially stored in a predetermined temporary buffer, and the printing process is performed by encoding / decoding the image information stored in the temporary buffer by the encoding / decoding unit 8. The image signal is decoded into an image signal, and the obtained image signal is transferred to the plotter 6 to record and output the received image.

Since the line of the group 3 facsimile apparatus is shared with the telephone set 15, there may be a case where the incoming call to the telephone set 15 is given priority during reception.

FIG. 23 shows an example of a process at the time of reception standby which can cope with such a case.

That is, first, it is monitored that any event for canceling the sleep mode of the CPU 20 has occurred (decision 540), and if a sleep mode cancel event occurs and the result of the decision 540 becomes YES, that It is checked whether or not the occurrence event is "ID detection terminal activation signal detection has been notified from ID reception terminal device 38" (decision 541). If the result of decision 541 is YES, ID reception terminal activation signal detection Is set (process 542), and if the result of determination 541 is NO, the bit of the return factor register 22 corresponding to the event that occurred at that time is set (process 543).

Next, the sleep mode of the CPU 20 is released, and the CPU 20 is set to the normal operation mode (process 544). Accordingly, the CPU 20 first reads the contents of the return factor register 22 (process 545).

Then, the ID of the return factor register 22
It is checked whether a bit indicating the detection of the receiving terminal activation signal is set (decision 546), and if the result of decision 546 is NO, the return factor register 2 at that time is determined.
A process corresponding to the content of the second item is started (process 547), and this operation ends.

If the result of decision 546 is YES, then at that time it is checked whether or not a telephone mode has been set which specifies that the telephone 15 should be prioritized at the time of an incoming call (decision 548). Is NO, it means that the facsimile mode is set to give priority to the facsimile operation at the time of the incoming call, so the plotter 6 is instructed to turn on the heater of the fixing unit 7 (process 549). The plotter 6 turns on the heater of the fixing unit 7, and from that point on, the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 increases. In addition, the result of determination 548 is YES
, The processing 549 is not executed.

On the other hand, the ID receiving terminal device 38 independently executes a predetermined calling telephone number notification service procedure process with the network. Therefore, in this group 3 facsimile device, next, Wait until a call signal is received (NO loop of decision 550). If a paging signal is received from the network and the result of determination 550 is YES, a secondary response signal is sent to the network (process 551), whereby a line is established with the partner terminal.

Here, it is checked whether or not the telephone mode is set (decision 552), and the result of decision 552 is NO.
, A predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation is started with the partner terminal using the established line (process 553), and the process waits until the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature. (NO loop of decision 554).

When the temperature of the heater of the fixing unit 7 reaches the predetermined fixing temperature and the result of the judgment 554 becomes YES, a printing process for recording and outputting the image of the received image information is started (process 555).

Here, in the group 3 facsimile communication operation, the received image information is sequentially stored in a predetermined temporary buffer, and the printing process is performed by encoding / decoding the image information stored in the temporary buffer by the encoding / decoding unit 8. The image signal is decoded into an image signal, and the obtained image signal is transferred to the plotter 6 to record and output the received image.

When the telephone mode is set and the result of decision 552 is YES, the system waits until the call ends (NO loop of decision 556), ends the call and goes on-hook, and the result of decision 556 is YES. To become and,
This operation ends.

Next, the fact that the preparation for reception is completed is notified to the ID receiving terminal device 38 (process 1127). As a result, the ID receiving terminal device 38 sends a reception preparation completion signal to the network to establish the call, and thereafter starts a predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation with the partner terminal ( Processing 1128).

On the other hand, when the telephone mode in which the use of the telephone is prioritized at the time of the incoming call is set and the result of determination 1114 is YES, the ID receiving terminal device 38 executes a series of incoming call processing, and Since the telephone 15 is called, the telephone 15
In response to the ringing of, the user picks up the handset and waits for off-hook detection (NO loop of decision 1130).

[0490] In response to the call, the user detects off-hook, and if the result of decision 1130 is YES, the user's telephone call starts. Therefore, it is monitored whether the call is ended or whether the operation for switching to the state of using the facsimile function is performed during the call (NO loop of determinations 1131 and 1132). Here, the call ends without the user performing a facsimile switching operation, and the result of decision 1131 is YE
When S is reached, the line is restored (process 1133), and this operation ends.

If the user operates facsimile switching during a call and the result of determination 1132 is YES,
The bit corresponding to the facsimile switching of the event register of the input / output circuit 52 is set (processing 1134), and the main power supply is instructed to the power supply unit 33 (processing 113).
5) Switch the output of the power supply unit 33 to the main power supply PA. As a result, the main power supply PA is output, and CP
U1 starts. Accordingly, the CPU 1 first reads the contents of the event register of the input / output circuit 52 (processing 1136).

Then, it is checked whether or not a bit indicating facsimile switching of the event register is set (decision 1137). If the result of decision 1137 is NO, a process corresponding to the contents of the event register at that time is started. Then (processing 1138), this operation ends. If the bit indicating facsimile switching in the event register is set and the result of determination 1137 is YES, the process moves to process 1128 and
A predetermined group 3 facsimile communication operation with the partner terminal is started.

As described above, in this case, the incoming call process is performed according to the setting state of the telephone mode, so that the incoming call setting of the user can be appropriately realized, and unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed.
