Next, the registration operation of the telephone directory information will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the user designates telephone directory registration in the operation menu displayed on the liquid crystal display section 84 of the operation panel 80 (S1). Based on this designation, the main CPU 91
Starts telephone directory registration, and guides the user to input a facsimile number, telephone number, and destination name of the destination to be registered using the liquid crystal display unit 84 (S2). Based on this guidance, the operator sequentially inputs the facsimile number, telephone number, and destination name of the destination to be registered using the numeric keys and character keys (touch panel) displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 84 (S3 to S3).
S5). In response to this input, the main CPU 91 displays the facsimile number, telephone number, and destination name using the liquid crystal display unit 84, and also displays the confirmation key and the cancel key (S6). According to this display, when the entered content is correctly input by the confirmation key (S7), the main CPU 91
Stores the input facsimile number, telephone number, and destination name in the telephone directory information table 94a as telephone directory information (S8), and ends the registration operation.

Also, according to the display of step 6, when the input contents are incorrect and the cancel key is input (S
7) Returning to step 3, the user can input again.

Next, the transmission operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

First, the operator specifies memory transmission in the operation menu displayed on the liquid crystal display section 84 of the operation panel 80 (S11), and sets a document to be transmitted (S1).
2). At this time, the main CPU 91 reads out the registered destinations from the telephone directory information table 94a, displays a list on the liquid crystal display unit 84, and also displays ten keys and a start key (S13).

In this display state, when a destination from the registered telephone directory is selected (S14), the main CPU 91
Determines the destination designation (S15), and proceeds to step 25.

In the display state of step 13 described above, when a dial number is input (direct dialing) using the numeric keypad (S14), the main CPU 91 determines destination designation by direct dialing (S16), and determines the input dial number and It is determined whether or not the facsimile number stored in the telephone directory information table 94a matches (is the same) (S17), and the entered dial number and the telephone number stored in the telephone directory information table 94a are compared. It is determined whether or not they match (same) (S18), and it is determined whether or not the input dial number matches the error dial number stored in the dial error table 94b (S19).

If it is determined in step 17 that the entered dial number matches the facsimile number stored in the telephone directory information table 94a, the main CPU
91 reads the destination corresponding to the facsimile number from the telephone directory information table 94a, and
As shown in FIG. 8, the image is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 84 (S2
0). At this time, a start key and a re-input key are also displayed.

If it is determined in step 18 that the entered dial number matches the telephone number stored in the telephone directory information table 94a, the main CPU 9
1 displays on the liquid crystal display section 84 that the input dial number is a telephone number as shown in FIG. 9 (S2).
1). At this time, a start key and a re-input key are also displayed.

When it is determined in step 19 that the entered dial number matches the error dial number stored in the dial error table 94b,
The main CPU 91 displays on the liquid crystal display 84 that the input dial number is an error dial number having an error in the past, as shown in FIG. 10 (S22). At this time, a start key and a re-input key are also displayed.

If no match is determined in steps 17, 18, and 19, the main CPU 91 determines that the number has been previously completed normally or is the number to be called for the first time. 84 (S2
3). At this time, a start key and a re-input key are also displayed.

In each of the display states of steps 20, 21, 22, and 23, when the re-entry key is input (S2
4) Return to the display state of step 13.

The steps 20, 21, 22, 2
In each of the display states 3, when the start key is input (S 24) or when the destination is selected in step 14, the main CPU 91 determines the start of memory transmission (S 25), and Reading is started (S26).

Thus, the image data read by the scanner unit 4 is transferred to the page memory 1 via the image bus 132.
27, converted into code data by a code / decoding unit 128, and sequentially stored in a code memory 126.

In this way, after the reading of the original is completed (S
27), the main CPU 91 shifts to a calling operation (S).
28).

That is, the main CPU 91 makes a dial call to the input number (S29), and if the polarity reversal is not detected after a certain period of time (S30), determines that the partner station terminal is in use or the like. Disconnect the line (S3
1).

When the polarity reversal is detected within the predetermined time in step 30, the main CPU 91 determines that the connection as a facsimile has not been made based on the presence or absence of a facsimile connection response by time monitoring as a line connection method (S 30).
32), the line is disconnected by judging that the partner station has no response and the terminal of the partner station is busy (S33).

When it is determined in step 32 that the connection has been established as a facsimile, that is, when the connection has been successful as a facsimile, the main CPU 91 starts image transmission (S34). As a result, the code data of the image data of the document stored in the code
The data is transmitted to other devices connected to the line via the ODEM unit 129 and the NCU unit 130.

During this image transmission, the main CPU 91
When it is determined that a communication error has occurred due to a protocol error or a failure in the line state (S35), the circuit is disconnected (S36).

During the image transmission, the main CPU 91
If it is not determined that a communication error has occurred due to a protocol error or a failure in the line state (S35), it determines normal termination (S37), disconnects the line (S38), and ends the transmission process.

When the facsimile transmission has failed in steps 31, 33 and 36 and the line has been disconnected, the main C
The PU 91 determines the redial mode (S39), and if the number of redials is equal to or smaller than the n-th time (S40), returns to step 29 and shifts to a call operation for redialing. The number of times n is a numerical value that can be set by this device.

When the number of redials is equal to or greater than n (S40), the main CPU 91 determines that redialing is not to be performed. It is determined whether the line has been disconnected due to the absence (S42) or the line has been disconnected due to a communication error (S43).

As a result, when the main CPU 91 determines that the line has been disconnected due to the inability to detect the polarity reversal in step 41, as shown in FIG. 11, that fact (the partner station has not responded) is specified. The received non-delivery notification is output from the printer unit 6 (S44), and the transmission process ends.

The main CPU 91 determines in step 42
When it is determined that the input dial number is the first dialed number when it is determined that the line is disconnected due to the fact that the connection was not possible as a facsimile (S45), the dial number is used as the error dial number and the dial error table 94b. (S46).

After the storage, or when it is determined in step 45 that the dialed number entered is not the number that was called for the first time, as shown in FIG. 12, that fact (the partner station was other than a facsimile machine) is specified. The notified non-delivery notification is output from the printer unit 6 (S47), and the transmission process ends.

The main CPU 91 determines in step 43
When it is determined that the line has been disconnected due to a communication error due to
As shown in (5), a non-delivery notification specifying that (a communication error has occurred) is output from the printer unit 6 (S48), and the transmission process ends.

The character code corresponding to the content of the non-delivery notification is stored in the ROM 93, a character pattern corresponding to the character code is generated by a character generator (not shown), and the image processing unit 96 converts the character pattern into bitmap data. The data is converted and output to the printer unit 6 via the image bus 132.

As described above, if the directly dialed number matches the facsimile number, telephone number, or error dial number in the memory, the details of the number are displayed.
Incorrect number entry can be reduced. Further, when the memory transmission has failed, a non-delivery notification describing the cause is output, and the failure can be determined by looking at the non-delivery notification.

[0096] Thereby, in the image transmission based on the input of the dial number of the transmission destination, the destination can be confirmed, the input of the incorrect dial number can be reduced, and the image transmission by the memory transmission can be performed. You can check the cause of non-delivery when you go.
