Abstract

PURPOSE:To set a reading system arbitrarily to a location where information to be transmitted exists, by providing an original stand which can set an original being a prescribed length or over, and shifting the reading system arbitrarily against the original stand. CONSTITUTION:When an original 8 being b+c in width is set to a paper guide 6 of the original stand, the reading system is shifted right as shown in Figure and the part corresponding to the (b) is read. When the information of this part is all read, the reading system is shifted left (toward the arrow) and the part (c) is set to be corresponded to the reading part. In this case, a display that the part (c) is being read is displayed on a display 7 contrarily as shown in the figure.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile device, particularly a facsimile device (=facsimile device) that scans a document containing characters, images, etc. over a fixed length in the main scanning direction using a reading system, and sequentially reads and sends information. related.

Conventionally, few facsimile machines have a structure that allows paper larger than a certain readable length to be set on the paper table or document table,
It was not possible to arbitrarily move the position of a sheet larger than a certain length that could be read with respect to the reading failure system. Therefore, all facsimile machines have the disadvantage that if an original is larger than a certain readable length, it cannot be sent or copied, or only a portion of it can be read and sent.

Therefore, in the past, when sending a large original, it was necessary to cut the original into a predetermined readable length before sending or copying.

Furthermore, even if paper larger than a certain length that can be read incorrectly can be set on the document table, if the document cannot be moved to an arbitrary position (2) This was a major problem because only a portion of the information could be read, and certain portions of written or printed text or images had to be selected and copied or sent.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate such conventional drawbacks and to provide a facsimile machine that can reliably read, scan, and send even originals that are longer than a certain readable length.

According to the present invention, in order to achieve this object, a document table is provided on which an original of a certain length or more that can be read incorrectly can be set, and a reading system is configured to be able to move arbitrarily with respect to the document table. It was adopted.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, in which a document 1 is set on a document table ζ along a paper guide 6 (2). The image of this original is illuminated by a photodiode array 4 that constitutes a CCD through a lens 3.
Above (two images are formed.

The original 1 is scanned electrically by this photodiode array.
The information on the upper scanning line 5 is sequentially read out, photoelectrically converted, and then stored in a memory device (not shown).1. They are read out and sent out sequentially. In this case, the width of the main scan is indicated by a, and if the document is within this width, all information can be read and sent. In addition, a display section 7 is provided in front of the document table (2) for displaying which part of the paper set on the document table (length a in the main scanning direction) has not been read. In this case, the reading system including the lens 3, the photodiode 4, and the display section 7 is configured to be able to move arbitrarily in the directions shown in the figures A and BC.

A case where a document having a readable length and width of 8 or more is read using a facsimile machine having two configurations as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, an original 8 having a width of b and c is set along the paper guide 6 (2) on the document table. In this case, it is assumed that b = c = a. As shown above, move the reading system to the right side so that the part corresponding to b is read out. Information is sent.

Next, after reading all the information in this part, move it to the left side as shown in Figure 3≦2, and move it so that the part C corresponds to the unreadable part (2).In this case, the display part 7 (2 is C
It is displayed that this part is being read. Furthermore, it can be understood that the original document 8 is read twice (separated into two parts) and then sent or copied.

FIG. 4 (2 is, for example, approximately 1 in the main scanning direction C2).

An example is shown in which a document 9 having a width of 1.5a is read and transmitted. In this case, it is assumed that in the document 9, information on characters and images to be transmitted is recorded in a portion corresponding to the length of a, and this information is set in a portion d.

In such a case (= moves the readout system including the lens 3 and the ζ photodiode array 4 to the part C of d. is displayed.

In the embodiment described above, the document is divided into parts, the reading system is scanned, and signals are sent out sequentially. The length information of this 2a is stored in the display section 7.
It is also possible to read and transmit or copy only the shaded portions that are written in places where the text cannot be read. In addition, it is also possible to move the reading system and perform the reading operation manually or automatically (sending or copying two lines at a time).

As explained above, according to the present invention, a document table is provided on which a large original with a readable length of a certain length or more can be set, and the reading system can be moved arbitrarily with respect to the document table. Since it is configured as follows, it is possible to arbitrarily set the reading system of part C2, which contains information such as characters and images to be transmitted, so that image information can be transmitted or copied the minimum number of times required. becomes possible.
