Figure 1 shows an example of an operation display section, where 90 is a lamp that is lit during transmission, 91 is a lamp that is lit during reception,
92 is a counter that displays the number of copies, 93 is a numeric keypad,
Risan is clear key, 9! 97A~? is the key to start copying or transmitting, Wa4 is the stop key to temporarily stop the copying or transmitting operation. 7J is the destination key, one destination is assigned to each key in advance, and when sending,
Press down the key for the desired destination. In this example, the key 97J is assigned a local copy function, that is, a function that performs a recording operation in its own recording unit. These keys 97mm~? When 7J is pressed, the REQ lamp button located under that key lights up. Furthermore, during automatic reception, the REQ lamp button jA corresponding to the destination is displayed, allowing the user to know the destination. 9rB is an error display lamp, 99A is a lamp that indicates the occurrence of a jam, TadeB is a lamp that indicates an error during transmission, and 9qC is a lamp that indicates an error during reception.

Now, steps 1 and 2 will be performed taking as an example a case in which image information is transmitted from another second copying and transmitting device to the first copying and transmitting device during a sending operation on the first copying and transmitting device on the sending side. Next, if step SJ'''c'rli image information is not received, the step REQ lamp 91 is turned on through steps 87, 81, 83, and 84, and it is possible to know where the image information is being transmitted.

Here, when both image information is transmitted from the second copying and transmitting device after sequentially executing steps Sλ to S and selecting a destination, an affirmative determination is made in step S and step 8/ 9
Proceed to. In step 8/9, the printer of the first copying and transmitting device is checked, and in step SJ it is determined whether the printer status is an error. If there is an error, the reception error lamp C is turned on in step Bh.

If it is determined that there is no error in step SJ7, the receiving lamp 91 is turned on in step s2/, and in step 822, the data set for transmission and display data are temporarily saved to the memory jcom shown in FIG. let Next, step 82? Then, it is determined whether there is a reception error, and if there is a reception error, the reception error lamp 990 is turned on in step SX. If there is no reception error, the process advances to step s2# to execute the reception sequence, and when it is determined in step 82s that the reception has ended, the series of reception sequences ends. If an affirmative determination is made in step SB, the receiving LED is turned off in step 8J7 and the process returns to step Sλ.

Next, start keying to transmit both desired images in the previously set transmission mode! When you press down, step Sj
An affirmative determination is made in step 810, and the process proceeds to step 810. Since the transmission mode is currently selected, in step 810
After I is turned on, the data saved in memory j-A is read out as necessary. The process then proceeds to step 87/ to check the status of the destination. In step 812, if the destination is in an error state, for example during b-calcoby, in step 813, turn on the ERR lamp de IB under the key 97A and proceed to step S.
Proceed to −. In addition, if it is determined to be normal in step S/λ, the transmission sequence is executed in step S/J, and if it is determined that the transmission has been completed in step 81, the transmitting LAD is detected in step S/#A.
is turned off and the series of transmission procedures ends.

On the other hand, when performing local copy, step 810
The process then proceeds to step 8/j, and after checking the status of its own printer, the copy sequence is executed in step B/7, and when the end of copying is determined by the step bit, the series of copying steps ends. In addition, in this example, as mentioned above,
4-Calcoby is selected by pressing the key 97J.

As explained above, according to the present invention, since the display section is shared during transmission and reception, the number of parts for the display section of this type of copying and transmission device can be reduced, and the display section can be made smaller. This makes the operation even easier.
