Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide facsimile equipment and an image data transmission method of the facsimile equipment capable of both-side printing in the same state as an original on a facsimile receiving side. SOLUTION: The original is read page by page from a scanner 1, compressed in a DCR 9 and stored in an SAF 3. In this case, at the time of compressing it in the DCR 9, either front or back of the original is recorded in image information. Stored image data are transmitted to a facsimile on the receiving side by a CCU 4. In the facsimile on the receiving side, the information of the front or back of the original in the image data is read and a document is outputted by a plotter 2 by utilizing the information. In such a manner, a function part for providing the information of the read surface of the image data read by the function of reading the original in the image data is provided. Thus, the both-side printing in the same state as the transmitted original is made possible.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a facsimile apparatus and a method of transmitting image data of the facsimile apparatus are generally configured as devices for transmitting and receiving image data. This configuration includes an image data reading unit that reads image data, an image data transmitting / receiving unit that transmits or receives the read image data, and an image forming unit that forms the image data on recording paper.

As a conventional technique, there is a facsimile apparatus having a double-sided reading function and a double-sided printing function, and an image data transmitting method of the facsimile apparatus.

[0004]

However, in a conventional facsimile apparatus having a double-sided printing function and an image data transmission method of the facsimile apparatus, a case where a single-sided cover sheet or the like is transmitted for the first sheet or two or more sheets are transmitted. When the stored files are received, the one-sided / two-sided / front / back states of the output document printed on the transmitting side and the output printed on the receiving side are deviated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus and a method for transmitting image data of the facsimile apparatus, which enable double-sided printing on the receiving side in the same state as the original.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention is a facsimile apparatus having a function of reading a document printed on both sides and a function of printing on both sides. It has a functional unit that has information of the data reading surface in the image data,
It is characterized in that duplex printing can be performed on the receiving side in the same state as the transmitted original.

[0007] The image data may be composed of a header, a comment, and image data.

The image data transmitting method of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention is a method of transmitting image data of a facsimile apparatus having a function of reading a double-sided printed original and a function of duplex printing. It has an image data reading process for reading image data, and a reading surface information adding process in which information on the reading surface of the read image data is included in the image data, enabling double-sided printing on the receiving side in the same state as the original It is characterized by having.

[0009] The image data may be composed of a header, a comment, and image data.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus and a method for transmitting image data of the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown one embodiment of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a facsimile apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of image data applied to the image data transmission method of the facsimile machine.

The facsimile apparatus of this embodiment includes a scanner 1, a plotter 2, an image information storage unit (SAF) 3, a communication control unit (CCU) 4, a facsimile control unit 6, an operation display unit 7, a page memory 8, Information compression / reproduction unit (DCR) 9
Are connected via a bus line, and the modem 5 is connected to the CCU 4.

The scanner 1 is a reading unit for image data having a double-side reading function. The plotter 2 is a writing unit having a double-sided printing function. The SAF 3 is a storage unit that stores image information and the like. The headquarters should use a non-volatile memory or a large-capacity hard disk. Image data and destination information of the electronic telephone directory are also stored here.

The CCU 4 is a communication control unit, and the modem 5
Interfacing with the outside via. The facsimile control unit 6 is a unit that controls the operation of the entire facsimile machine. The operation display unit 7 is a so-called operation board, and serves as an interface unit with the operator. The page memory 8 is a storage unit for image data. DCR9
Is an image information compression / reproduction unit having an enlargement / reduction function.

In the facsimile apparatus on the transmitting side and the image data transmitting method of the facsimile apparatus, an original is read from the scanner 1 page by page, compressed by the DCR 9, and stored in the SAF 3. Here, at the time of compression by the DCR 9, either the front or back of the document is recorded in the image information.

The stored image data is transmitted by the CCU 4 to a facsimile on the receiving side. The facsimile on the receiving side reads the information on the front or back of the original in the image data,
A document is output by the plotter 2 using the information.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of image data.
It is composed of a header 101, a comment 102, and image data 103. As a method of storing reading surface information of a document in image data, for example, in a compression method having a comment region 102 such as JBIG, the reading surface information is stored in the comment region.

According to the above-described embodiment, even if a single-sided cover sheet is added or transmission data of two or more files is transmitted, the same double-sided output as the read original can be obtained on the receiving side.

The above embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, it is not limited to this.
Various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0019]

As is apparent from the above description, the facsimile apparatus and the image data transmitting method of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention read the image data of the original printed on both sides by the original reading function and read the read image data. The information of the reading surface of is stored in the image data. Therefore, duplex printing can be performed on the receiving side in the same state as the original.
