Reference numeral 116 denotes a speaker, which notifies and warns the user by voice and monitors a signal sound transmitted through the communication line 112. A printer formatter 117 analyzes a printer description language and converts it into image data when printing file data from a workstation or the like. A printer 118 records a received image and file data on a recording sheet. The printer 118 is equipped with upper, middle, and lower cassettes 1 to 3 so that a plurality of types of recording papers of different sizes can be set. And the like are stored in the RAM 103. An external interface 119 performs data communication with a computer or a workstation (not shown).

In such a configuration, for example, at the time of facsimile reception, the line control unit 11
1 and the image data received via the NCU 110 are compressed by the compression / decompression unit 106 in a predetermined manner and stored in the storage memory 104.
To memorize. Then, the CPU 101 selects the optimum cassette from the information on the width and length of the received image in accordance with the priority of cassette selection of the apparatus. If the size and orientation of the recording paper selected here is mounted on the apparatus, a recording image is output from the printer 118 via the compression / expansion unit 106. If the selected recording paper size is the same as the recording paper mounted on the apparatus and the recording paper size is different by 90 ° (hereinafter referred to as “virtual recording paper size”), the compression / expansion unit 106 expands the recording paper. The rotation processing unit 107
, And the data is expanded to the page memory unit 108. When one page of rotated image data is ready, the printer 118 is activated to output a recorded image.

A cassette selection mode of the apparatus can be set by a registration switch (not shown) of the operation unit 115. When a recorded image is output, a fixed reduction ratio is set according to the setting. It is configured to output in a recording mode such as reduced recording, automatic reduced recording according to the recording paper size, divided recording on a plurality of recording papers, and rotational recording.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are flowcharts showing the cassette selecting process in the present embodiment. First, in step S201, the cassette selection information is initialized. Here, parameters such as the document width, the number of recording lines, fixed reduction / automatic reduction, and resolution are set as selection information. Next, in steps S202 to S212, the priority of the recording paper size is determined according to the main scanning width of the document. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a priority order of typical recording paper sizes. Here, the smaller the numerical value is, the higher the priority is, and the shortest recording paper size with the same main scanning width as the original image>
Long recording paper size with the same main scanning width as the original image> Short recording paper size that can be recorded with a margin in the main scanning direction> Long recording paper size that can be recorded with a margin in the main scanning direction> Recording with fixed reduction Possible short recording paper size> Long recording paper size that can be recorded by fixed size reduction. Also, if the setting of the apparatus is prioritized to LTR and LGL in advance, the LTR and LGL are given priority over A4 in the above-described recording paper size priority order.

Next, in step S213, the priority of the cassette selection phase is determined. The cassette selection phase includes a selection phase 1 to a selection phase 6. The priority order changes according to the setting of the cassette selection phase of the device. Main scanning priority is given to the recording paper size that is the same width as the main scanning width of the original, and optimal recording is performed with the sub-scanning length regardless of the main operation width. There is sub-scanning priority for selecting the paper size.

FIG. 6 shows a selection operation in the cassette selection phase. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the priority order of the cassette selection phase in the main scanning priority and the sub scanning priority. Further, in the selection phase 5 and the selection phase 6, the priority of the short sheet priority shown in FIG. 5 is adopted as the recording paper size priority. Next, when rotation recording is permitted by the registration switch of the operation unit 115 (Yes in step S214), virtual recording paper size information is created (step S215). As shown in FIG. 8, the virtual recording paper size is stored in the ROM 102 as table data searched by the recording paper size stored in the cassette (hereinafter, referred to as the actual recording paper size). The recording paper size is the same size as the paper size and the orientation is different by 90 °. For example, if the actual recording paper size is A4
(Vertical), the virtual recording paper size is A4 landscape, and if the actual recording paper size is B5 landscape, the virtual recording paper size is B
5 (vertical). If rotation recording is not permitted, there is no virtual recording paper. In the present embodiment, a virtual recording size is not given when the actual recording paper size is A3 or the like.

Next, in step S216, if the recording paper size has been designated and recording on another size is prohibited, other than the designated size is excluded from the above-mentioned recording paper size priority order. Create recording paper size information. If the recording paper size is specified and recording to another size is permitted, the specified size is given the highest priority, and the actual recording paper size and virtual recording paper The recording paper size information is created so that the information excluding the size other than the size has the following priority. On the other hand, when the recording paper size is not specified, the recording paper size information excluding the actual recording paper size and the recording paper size other than the virtual recording paper size from the recording paper size priority is created.

Next, in step S217, each selection phase is executed in accordance with the priority of the cassette selection phase determined in step S213. Then, in step S218, when one selection phase ends, the selection result is evaluated. If the recording size and the cassette level have been determined, the process proceeds to step S221 and the subsequent steps. If not, the process proceeds to step S219. Check if there is a next selection phase. Here, if the recording paper size is not determined even after executing all the selection phases, the process proceeds to step S220, and the process ends with the cassette selection result as NG.

Next, in step S221, the selected recording paper size is set in the variable S1, and the selected cassette stage is set in the variable P1. In step S222, the variable S
2, the actual recording paper size of the selected cassette stage P1 is set. Then, in step S223, the variable P1 and the variable P2 are compared, and if they match, the selected recording paper size S1
Is regarded as the actual recording paper size. If they do not match, the process proceeds to step S224, where the virtual recording paper size for the recording paper size S2 is set in a variable S3. Then, in a step S225, the variable S1 and the variable S3 are compared,
If they match, the flow advances to step S226 to set a rotation recording flag. In step S227, if there is a recording sheet in the cassette stage P1, the flow advances to step S228 to set the cassette selection result and end the cassette selection process.
On the other hand, when there is no recording paper in the cassette stage P1, the cassette selection result is NG.

Next, the cassette selection phase in the cassette selection of this embodiment will be described in detail. FIG.
Is a flowchart showing the operation of the cassette selection phase in recording on one sheet of recording paper having the same main scanning width and in margin / standard reduced recording (selection phase 1 and selection phase 3) on one sheet of recording paper having a different main scanning width. It is. First, the number of divisions (one division) and the recording paper size information determined in step S216 are set (steps S301 and S30).
2). Next, it is determined whether the current cassette selection phase is to select one recording sheet having the same main scanning width or to select one recording sheet having a different main scanning width (step S30).
3). As a result, in the former case, the main scanning width of the target recording paper size is equal to the original width (Yes in step S304), and in the latter case, the main scanning width of the target recording paper size is different from the original width. (Ye in step S305)
s), and create the respective cassette selection information (step S306).

Next, as a result of the obtained cassette selection information,
If it is determined that printing is possible on the target size (Yes in step S307), the size is inserted into the priority sequence of the printing paper candidates (steps S308 and S309). If it is determined in step S310 that the selection target size has been completed, the process proceeds to step S311. If not, the process proceeds to step S312, where the selection target size is switched to the next priority size, and the process returns to step S303. The above operation is repeated. In step S311, it is determined whether or not a recording paper candidate exists. If it does exist, the process proceeds to step S313. If not, the current selection phase ends and the process proceeds to the next phase.

If there is a recording paper candidate in the above determination, the recording paper candidate is set (step S313), and if it is determined that the cassette stage accommodating the recording paper candidate size having the highest priority has paper. (Ye in step S314)
s), and again create the cassette selection information (step S31)
5) The selected recording paper size and the selected cassette stage information are set as the selection result, and the phase is terminated (step S316). If there is no paper in the cassette stage, the process proceeds to step S317. If the next recording paper candidate exists (Yes in step S317), the size of the recording paper is set (step S318), and the process returns to step S314. The same processing is performed. If it is determined that the next recording paper candidate does not exist (N in step S317).
o), end the current selection phase and move to the next phase.

FIG. 10 shows the operation of the cassette selection phase in divided recording on recording paper of the same main scanning width and margin / standard reduced division recording (selection phase 2 and selection phase 4) on recording paper of different main scanning width. It is a flowchart which shows. In this cassette selection operation, step S401
In steps S411 to S411, the same processing as in the above-described single-sheet recording selection phase is performed, and a recording paper selection candidate size is selected. As a result of performing this processing, if the recording paper candidate size does not exist (No in step S412), the number of divisions is increased by 1 (step S419), and if the number of divisions is within the maximum number of divisions (step S420). No), the process returns to step S402, and the selection operation is started again. If the maximum number of divisions is exceeded, the current phase is ended and the process moves to the next phase.

In step S412, if a recording paper candidate size exists, the recording paper candidate is set (step S413), and the cassette status of each candidate size is checked according to the priority (step S414). If the cassette has paper, cassette selection information is created again (step S415), the selection result is set (step S416), and the selection phase ends. When there is no paper in the cassette, the state of the cassette having the next highest priority in the recording candidate size is checked. When there is no recording paper candidate (No in step S417), the number of divisions is increased by 1 (step S419). If it is within the predetermined maximum number of divisions (No in step S420), the process returns to step S402, and the selection operation is started again. If the maximum number of divisions is exceeded, the current phase is ended and the process moves to the next phase.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the cassette selection phase when recording is performed on one recording sheet within the reduction range regardless of the main scanning width (selection phase 5). First, the respective recording paper sizes of the recording paper size information are rearranged into the short priority order shown in FIG. 5 (step S501).
In this phase, selection information is created for each recording paper size regardless of the main scanning width (steps S502 to S51).
1) If the recording paper candidate has paper (step S512)
Yes), the cassette selection information is created, the selected recording paper size and the selected cassette stage information are set as the selection result, and this phase ends (steps S513 and S5).
14). In other cases, each recording paper size of the recording paper size information is returned to the normal priority (step S51).
7) Move to the next phase.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the cassette selection phase when recording is performed on a recording sheet having the minimum number of divisions regardless of the main scanning width (selection phase 6). First, similarly to the selection phase 5 described above, the recording paper size information is rearranged in the shortest priority order shown in FIG. 5 (step S601). In the cassette selecting operation here, steps S602 to S616 are performed in the above-described selection phase 5
The same processing as described above is performed to determine the recording paper candidate size. As a result of performing the above processing, if the recording paper candidate size does not exist (No in step S610), the number of divisions is increased by 1 (step S617), and if it is within the predetermined maximum number of divisions (step S618), the process proceeds to step S618. Returning to S603,
The selection operation is restarted. If the maximum number of divisions is exceeded, the current phase is ended and the process moves to the next phase.

On the other hand, if the recording paper candidate size exists in step S610, the recording paper candidate is set (step S611), and the cassette state of each candidate size is checked according to the priority. If there is paper in the cassette (Yes in step S612), cassette selection information is created again (step S613), the selection result is set, and the phase ends (step S614). Also,
When there is no paper in the cassette, the state of the cassette having the next highest priority in the recording candidate size is checked. When there is no recording paper candidate (No in step S615), the number of divisions is increased by 1 (step S617). If it is within the predetermined maximum number of divisions (step S618), the process returns to step S603, and the selection operation is started again. If the maximum number of divisions is exceeded, the current phase is ended and the process moves to the next phase.

Next, the cassette selection information creation processing in this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the number cas lines of sub-scanning lines that can be printed at the same magnification in the effective recording range of the target recording paper size is calculated (step S701). Here, the number of lines is converted according to the resolution of the original image, and correction for image truncation is also performed. If the division number div is two or more, the number of lines x the number of divisions is set to the number of lines that can be recorded at the same magnification (steps S702 and S703). Next, the original image is compared with the main scanning width of the recording paper size (step S704). When the main scanning width width2 of the recording paper size is equal to or larger than the main scanning width width1 of the original image, the standard reduction rate R1 is set to 100%.
(Step S705). When the main scanning width width1 of the document image is larger than the main scanning width width2 of the recording paper size, the standard reduction ratio R1 is set to width2 / width1% (step S706), and the standard reduction flag is set (step S706).
707). Next, based on the number of sub-scanning lines cas line, the number of lines line1 recordable within the reduction range is calculated (step S708).

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a process for obtaining the allowable reduction ratio and the number of lines recordable within the reduction range. First, when the fixed reduction is set as the reduction mode (Yes in step S801), the fixed reduction rate R1 ×
The fixed reduction rate R0 is set as the allowable reduction rate R (step S80).
2). If the automatic reduction is set (No in step S801), the standard reduction rate R1 × the maximum reduction rate Rm
ax is set as the allowable reduction rate R (step S803). still,
When reduction recording is prohibited, the fixed reduction ratio R0 = 1
Calculate as 00%. As a result of the above calculation, when the allowable reduction rate R is equal to or less than the maximum reduction rate Rmax (step S
804, Yes), allowable reduction ratio R = maximum reduction ratio Rmax
(Step S805). Therefore, the permissible recording line number line1 is equal to the number of lines that can be recorded at the same magnification, cas line / permissible reduction ratio R (step S806).

Returning to FIG. 13, the reduction ratio R3 at the time of recording is calculated. If it is determined in steps S709 and S710 that the fixed reduction is accompanied by the fixed reduction, the recording reduction ratio R3 is set to the allowable reduction ratio R (step S711). If the fixed reduction is not accompanied by the fixed reduction, the recording reduction ratio R3 is set to the fixed reduction ratio R0 (step S712). On the other hand, in the case of automatic reduction, first, the number of lines cas line that can be recorded at the same size as the target recording size and the number of original lines line2 are compared (step S713). Here, if the cas line is not less than line2, the recording reduction ratio R3 is set to the standard reduction ratio R1 (step S71).
4) Otherwise, record reduction ratio R3 = cas line / li
ne2 (step S715). Then, in the case of recording with fixed reduction, the recording reduction ratio R3 is compared with the fixed reduction ratio R1, and the smaller value is set as the recording reduction ratio R3 (steps S716 to S718).

Next, the allowable line number line1 and the original line number
Compare with line2, if line1 is greater than or equal to line2 (Yes in step S719), selectable information can be recorded,
The reduction ratio is set to R3 (step S720). Otherwise, the selection information cannot be recorded (step S72).
1). As described above, when performing the cassette selection, the actual recording paper size and the virtual recording paper size are to be selected,
As a result, when the virtual recording paper size is selected, by adopting a configuration in which the document image is rotated at the time of recording output,
Optimal cassette selection considering rotation recording can be realized without complicating the selection logic. Further, even when the recording paper size and the priority of the cassette selection phase are changed, or when the number of cassette stages is increased, it is not necessary to add a special selection logic for rotational recording.

Next, an example of selecting a cassette by the above-described cassette selection method and recording a facsimile reception original will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. First,
The recording paper size and the recording cassette level are selected according to the above-described cassette selection method (step S901), and the result is O.
If it is K (Yes in step S902), the selected size is set in the variable SS and the selected cassette stage is set in the variable SP (step S903). If the result is NG (No in step S902), the recording is not performed and the alternate reception is performed. Also, when there is no recording paper in the cassette stage SP (No in step S904), alternate reception is performed.

Next, when the rotation recording flag is set (Yes in step S905), the rotation processing unit 10
7, the image for one page is rotated by 90 ° and developed in the page memory unit 108 (step S906).
Thereafter, the actual recording paper size of the cassette stage SP is set to a variable WS (step S907), and a one-page recording output operation is performed (step S908). Here, if the output of the designated number of recording copies has been completed and there is no next page for divided recording (Yes in steps S909 and S910), the recording operation ends.

If the output of the designated number of copies has not been completed (No in step S909), SS is set as the designated recording paper size, and the value calculated by the recording reduction rate / the standard reduction rate as the fixed reduction rate is set. Set (Step S91
2), the process returns to step S901, and after the cassette is selected again, the above operation is repeated. Step S9
In 10, if there is a next page of divided recording, the number of remaining original lines is set as original line−number of recorded lines (step S 911), and the process proceeds to step S 912, where the designated recording paper size and fixed reduction ratio are set. After the cassette is selected again, the above operation is repeated.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, virtual recording paper size information having the same size as the recording paper contained in the recording paper cassette and having a different direction is created, and the recording paper contained in the recording paper cassette is produced. An optimum recording paper size and cassette stage are selected from the size and the virtual recording paper size according to a predetermined priority, and the recording paper accommodated in the selected cassette stage and the recording paper size and the recording paper selected by the cassette selecting means are selected. By comparing the orientations and controlling the rotation direction of the output image according to the comparison result, there is no need to add a cassette selection logic for rotational recording, and with the same priority as the normal cassette selection. There is an effect that the cassette can be selected.

Further, even if a cassette is added, it is possible to easily cope with the situation simply by creating virtual recording paper size information for the recording paper size of the cassette.
The present invention can be applied to a system including a plurality of devices (for example, a host computer, an interface device, a reader, a printer, etc.), but it can be applied to a device including one device (for example, a copying machine, a facsimile machine, etc.). May be applied.
