Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain sorting without noise in a high speed, without a mechanical sorting, by storing picture information relating to plural originals to a picture information storage section, and recording each page sequentially in the electrically sorted sequence. CONSTITUTION:An original 12 is loaded to a hopper 11 of a picture information signal 10 of a facsimile or a copying machine, picture information is read at an original reading scanning section 14, the information is converted into an electric signal and applied to a picture information storage section 40, and the original 12 is contained in a stacker 13 of originals. This picture information source 10 is provided with an operation section 17 designating the number of copies and a line controlling section 16 inputting the control information of the facsimile device transmitted from a communication line 15. The controlling section 16 stores the picture information signal from a remote device in a storage section 40. In the reception of the copy or facsimile, the number of copies from the operation section 17 or the controlling section 16 is applied to a control circuit 50, the picture information from the storage section 40 is applied to a storage circuit 23 according to the control of the circuit 50 and recorded on a recording paper 22.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile or copying device, and particularly to recording control thereof.

In a conventional copying apparatus, when creating multiple copies of n types of originals, as shown in the example in FIG.
For (A), record 11.12°13, manuscript 20 (
For Hitoshi, the required number of copies was recorded for each manuscript as shown in records 21.22.23. In this type of copying device, after making the required number of copies, generally 1 record, for example 11. 1st copy further recorded at @21 12. In record 22, the operator sorts each copy by number of copies, such as 1 copy.
I needed to.

This type of copying apparatus was later improved, and it was considered to add a mechanical sorting function as shown in FIG. For example, in FIG. 2, records 11, 12, and 13 for document 10 (8 are transferred to path selection mechanism 2 after leaving copying apparatus body 1), 111, and recording paper stacker 31.
It is stored in 32.33. Subsequently, original@20 (Hl) was similarly stored in the recording paper stacker, and mechanically sorting was realized.

This type of mechanical sorting requires a physically large space to install, so it is generally not used anywhere other than in a dedicated copying room. Generally speaking, the Mareike M selection mechanism often uses electric components such as relays and fugusonets.
It was noisy and had one hit with poor reliability. Furthermore, mechanical sorting itself requires both speed and precision, so it has become unavoidable.

-h. Regarding facsimiles, received image information is rarely used to create multiple copies of bales.

Although the function of sorting was not considered, as facsimile machines are used as office automation equipment, it is possible to create multiple copies of multiple types of documents to be sent on the receiving side, or to use the facsimile machine as a seven-copy A.

The present invention eliminates the aforementioned drawbacks of commercial printing in a facsimile or copying machine by using an image information storage section within the machine, which is physically small and noisy. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly reliable and low-cost sorting function with fewer problems.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, the internal configuration of the image information source 1o? Let me explain first. The original 12 is placed on a hopper 11 such as an automatic paper feeder, and is converted into an electrical image information signal by an original reading/scanning section 14. After that, after the reading scan is completed, the document stacker 13
will be stored in. on the other hand.

Using the communication line 15, the nine-picture information transmitted from the transmission destination is converted into an electrical picture information signal by the line control section 16, which includes a modem, a communication control section, and the like.

First, to explain the operation at the time of copying, from the operation section 17,
When the number of copies is input to the control circuit section 5o, image information signals for all kinds of original documents are stored in the image information storage section 4o via the document reading and scanning section described above. After that, as shown in the example in Figure 4, for each number of copies, AB, AH, etc.
The image information signal from the image information storage section 4o is output to the recording section 20 under the control of the control circuit section 5o. In the recording section 20, a recording paper tray 2 is loaded with recording paper 22 before recording.
The recording paper is sequentially loaded from No. 1 to the recording paper stacker 23, recorded by the recording circuit 23, and stored in the recording paper stacker 30.

In this way, sorting is performed by sequentially recording the electrically sorted image information in units of valley pages from the image information storage section 40.

Next, the operation in the case of facsimile will be explained as control information accompanying the facsimile image information.

In the case of a communication method in which the number of recorded copies is transmitted, control information from the transmission partner is input to the control (2) circuit section 50 via the line control section 16. Also, the image information signal is sent to the line control section 16.
The image information is stored in the image information storage section 4o via the image information storage section 4o. After that,
As in the case of copying, for example, as shown in Figure 4,
The electrically sorted recording sheets are stored in the recording sheet stacker 3o.

As explained above, both in the case of copying and facsimile, image information related to multiple types of original documents is stored in the image information storage unit, and then electronically sorted according to the number of copies to be recorded. Each page can be recorded in sequence and stored in the recording paper stacker. In particular, such a method eliminates the need to add a mechanical sorting section. Furthermore, in recent years, the price of storage devices has become cheaper.
Because it is low-priced, compact, and does not use two mechanisms,
A fast, reliable and noiseless sorting function can be provided.

The present invention has the effect of providing a facsimile or copying machine having a compact, low-friction, high-speed, highly reliable and noiseless sawing function as described above.
