Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. The facsimile apparatus 1 is characterized in that the received image information is appropriately recorded on both sides of the recording paper by using a plotter 8 capable of recording only on one side of the recording paper.

That is, at the time of reception, the received image information is divided or reduced to the size of the recording paper of the plotter 8 and stored in the image information memory 11 and stored in the image information memory 11 according to the recording paper size. After collectively recording the received image information for each odd-numbered page or even-numbered page on the recording paper, a message is displayed on the display unit 2 to prompt the user to set the recording paper recorded and output on the plotter 8 in a state where the recording paper is turned upside down. When the recording paper is set, even pages or odd pages that have not been recorded are collectively recorded and output on the reversed recording paper.

First, the process of storing the received image information in the image information memory 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In the facsimile apparatus 1, when there is a call from the line, the line control unit 4 automatically receives a call, executes a normal facsimile control procedure, and starts a reception process (step S).
1) The CPU 5 checks the double-sided printing information stored in the RAM 10 and checks whether or not to perform double-sided printing (double-sided printing) (step S2).

In step S2, when double-sided recording is not performed, the CPU 5 determines that single-sided recording is to be performed, performs a receiving process in a normal receiving mode process, and temporarily stores the received image information in the image information memory 11. After that, the image information is read out from the image information memory 11 in the page order, transferred to the plotter 8, and the received image information is recorded and output in the page order by the plotter 8, and the process ends (step S3).

When performing double-sided recording in step S2, the CPU 5 causes the encoding / decoding unit 12 to sequentially decode (expand) the received image information for each page (step S2).
4) The number of lines of the received image information is counted for each page (step S5), and the counted number is
It is checked whether the number of lines that can be recorded in the size of the recording paper set in, that is, the number of lines of the received image information for one page is larger than the number of lines of one page of the recording paper (step S6).

In step S6, the number of lines counted
That is, when the number of lines of the received image information is larger than the number of lines of one page of the recording paper, the CPU 5 checks whether or not the mode is set to the reduced recording mode by checking the setting state of the RAM 10 (step S7). If it is set, the received image information of the page is reduced and stored in the image information memory 11 (step S9).

When the storage of the received image information in the image information memory 11 is completed, the CPU 5 checks whether there is a next page (step S10), and when there is a next page, returns to step S1 and continues the receiving process. Then, the same processing as described above is performed (steps S1 to S10).

If the number of lines counted in step S6 is larger than the number of lines of one page of the recording paper, step S7
When the mode is not set to the reduction mode, the CPU
5, the received image information is divided by the number of lines of one page of the recording paper (step S11), and the divided received image information is stored in the image information memory 11 (step S9).

When the counted number of lines is smaller than the number of lines of one page of the recording paper in step S6, the CPU 5 stores the received image information in the image information memory 11 without dividing or reducing it (step S6). S9), check whether there is a next page (step S1)
0).

When there is no next page in step S10, the CPU 5 terminates the process of storing the received image information in the image information memory 11.

As described above, when the receiving process is completed,
The image information recording / output processing shown in FIG. 3 is performed.

That is, when the receiving process is completed, the CPU 5 checks the double-sided recording information in the RAM 10 to determine whether the mode is the double-sided recording (double-sided printing) mode (step P1) as shown in FIG. If not, a normal single-sided recording process is performed. That is, the CPU 5
Reads the received image information from the image information memory 11 sequentially from the first page, transfers it to the plotter 8, and causes the plotter 8 to sequentially record the received image information on one side of the recording paper (step P).
2).

In step P1, in the double-sided printing mode, the CPU 5 reads out the received image information of the odd-numbered pages from the image information memory 11 in the order of pages, transfers the read image information to the plotter 8, and the plotter 8 records (prints) on one side of the recording paper. ) (Step P3).

When the recording of the received image information for one odd page is completed, the CPU 5 checks whether the recording (printing) of all the odd pages of the received image information is completed (step P).
4) When the recording of all odd pages has not been completed,
Returning to Step P3, the CPU 5 reads the received image information of the next odd page from the image information memory 11, transfers the read image information to the plotter 8, and causes the plotter 8 to record the received image information of the odd page on recording paper ( Step P3).

The recording process of the received image information of the odd-numbered pages on the recording paper is sequentially performed. When the recording of all the odd-numbered pages is completed in step P4, the CPU 5 sets the plotter in a state where the recorded recording paper is turned upside down. 8 is read out from the ROM 6 to prompt the setting of the recording paper to the plotter 8, and is transferred to the plotter 8. The plotter 8 records the message on the recording paper. The display message data for urging the user to set the plotter 8 on the
To display the message on the display unit 2 (step P5).

In response to this message, the operator of the facsimile machine 1 sets the recording paper on which the odd-numbered pages have been recorded on the recording paper tray of the plotter 8, for example, a manual feed tray, with the front and back reversed, and sets the recording paper. Is detected by the paper sensor, or when a predetermined key operation is performed on the operation unit 7, the CPU 5 sequentially reads out the image information of the even-numbered pages of the received image information from the image information memory 11 in page order and transfers the read image information to the plotter 8. Then, the plotter 8 records and outputs the received image information of the even page on the back side of the recording paper on which the image information of the odd page is recorded (step P6).

In the recording output of the even-numbered pages, the CPU 5 checks whether a jam (paper jam) has occurred based on a detection signal from the jam occurrence sensor (step P7). It is checked whether all even pages of information have been recorded and output (step P8).

If the recording output of all the even pages of the received image information has not been completed in step P8, the CPU 5
Returns to step P6, reads the received image information of the next even page from the image information memory 11, transfers the read image information to the plotter 8, and puts the plotter 8 on the back side of the recording paper on which the received image information of the odd page is recorded. The received image information of the even page is recorded (step P6).

In step P7, when a jam occurs during the recording of the received image information of the even page, the CPU 5 skips (skips) the recording of the received image information of the even page in which the jam has occurred on the recording paper. Then, the fact that the received image information of the next even page is to be recorded is set in the RAM 10 (step P9), the process returns to step P6, and the received image information of the next even page is read from the image information memory 11 in the same manner as described above. Then, the received image information of the even-numbered page is recorded on the back side of the recording paper on which the received image information of the odd-numbered page is recorded (step P6).

In step P7, when no jam occurs during the recording of the even-numbered pages, the CPU 5 checks whether the recording output of all the even-numbered pages of the received image information is completed (step P8). When the recording and output of the even-numbered pages are completed, it is checked whether or not there is a page in which a jam has occurred (step P10).

If there is a page in which a jam has occurred in step P10, the CPU 5 returns to step P1 to store the received image information of the odd page already recorded on all the recording sheets in which the jam has occurred in the image information memory. 11 is read out for each page sequentially, transferred to the plotter 8, and the plotter 8 records the received image information of the odd page.
A message prompting the user to set the recording paper on the plotter 8 is output. When the recording paper is set upside down, the received images of all even pages to be recorded on the recording paper where the jam has occurred are output. The information is sequentially read from the image information memory 11 and transferred to the plotter 8 so that the image information of the even-numbered page is sequentially recorded on the back side of the recording paper on which the received image information of the odd-numbered page is recorded (steps P1 to P6). .

After recording and outputting all the pages of the received image information, the CPU 5 ends the recording process.

Then, the facsimile apparatus 1 records the TTI (Tran) such as the source telephone number, the source name and the page information at a predetermined position of the received image information in the recording process of the received image information.
It has a TTI addition function of recording and outputting the received image information at a predetermined position on the recording paper by adding the information to a predetermined position on the recording paper. In the recording output of the received image information in the double-sided recording mode, the CPU 5 operates as shown in FIG. In addition, this TTI
With the additional function, for example, T
The page information 20 of the TTI information is added and recorded on the recording paper 21. The page information is added to a position different from the addition position of the page information 20 of the TTI information, for example, at the upper end position of the received image information. Information 22 is added and recorded on the plotter 8, and the odd page 21 of the received image information is added.
a and the even-numbered page 21b, different positions, for example, added to the upper right end and upper left end of the received image information,
The plotter 8 is caused to record and output on recording paper.

As described above, the facsimile apparatus 1 temporarily stores the received image information in the image information memory 11 and, if the size of the received image information is larger than the size of the recording paper set on the plotter 8, the recording paper The received image information is divided and stored in the image information memory 11 according to the size of the received image information, and the received image information of the odd-numbered pages of the received image information in the image information memory 11 is recorded and output on a recording sheet for each page. When all the received image information of the odd page is recorded and output, a message is displayed on the recording paper and the display unit 2 to prompt the user to set the plotter 8 with the recording paper on which the received image information is recorded upside down. , Recording paper plotter 8 with its front and back reversed
Is set, the received image information of the even-numbered page of the received image information stored in the image information memory 11 is turned upside down on the plotter 8 and sequentially recorded and output on the set recording paper.

Therefore, the received image information can be appropriately recorded on both sides of the recording paper using the inexpensive plotter 8, and the consumption of the recording paper can be reduced at a low cost.

Also, while the plotter 8 is recording and outputting the received image information of the even page to be recorded and output later on the recording paper,
When a paper jam occurs, the received image information of the page where the paper jam has occurred is recorded and output after the last page, so that even if a paper jam occurs, no page shift occurs. Inexpensive and appropriate double-sided recording is possible.

Further, in addition to the page information of the TTI information,
The page information is added to the odd page and the even page at different positions for the odd page and the even page, and is recorded and output on the recording paper. Management can be performed appropriately at low cost.

Although the invention made by the inventor has been specifically described based on the preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. It goes without saying that it is possible.

For example, in the above embodiment, when the received image information is recorded on both sides, the odd-numbered pages are recorded and output first, and when the recording and output of all the odd-numbered pages are completed, the even-numbered pages are recorded as the odd-numbered pages. Although recording and output are performed on the back side of the recording paper, it is free to determine which page of the odd-numbered page and the even-numbered page is to be output first, and the output of the even-numbered page may be performed first.
