Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain number of copies designated by the operator of the transmission side without increasing the line connecting time by using non-standard signals NSF and NSS and preparing a demodulation data recording medium to the facsimile receiver side. CONSTITUTION:The facsimile receiving side transmits it to the transmission side by the non-standard signal NSF that the receiving side can make plural copies after the end of receiving, the transmission side receives the signal and transmits the presence of copy of the same original and the number of copies to the receiving side by the NSS. When a facsimile transmitter 3 transmits a message to a facsimile receiver 4, the data is demodulated by a modulation and demodulation device 6, transferred to a recording section via a decoder 7 and stored on a recording medium 8. When the receiving of the message is finished, the demodulated data is read by n-times from the recording medium 8 depending on the content of the preceding NSS and (n) sheets of copies are obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of transmitting, receiving, and copying using a facsimile machine.

In conventional facsimile machines, the number of documents sent by the sender is recorded on the receiver.For example, if the sender sends one document, the receiver receives only one record of the same content. In order to pass multiple copies of the same content to the recipient, the sender must send the same document over and over again, or make copies in advance and send them continuously.
Even though the amount of information to be transmitted remained constant, line usage fees (for subscribed lines) increased in proportion to the number of sheets sent.

Alternatively, after one communication was completed, the receiving record was copied as a manuscript on the receiving side, which required human intervention and did not save sufficient labor.

The inventive feature is that when an operator on the transmitting side broadcasts multiple copies of the same content to the receiving side, multiple copies of the same original can be made with the minimum line connection time and minimum effort on the sending and receiving sides by simple specification on the sending side. , provides a means for transmitting and receiving information.

According to the invention, a copy request can be given from a transmitting side to a receiving side using a non-standard signal in a transmission control procedure,
On the receiving side, by preparing a storage medium that can store the received binary image signal or encoded image signal, after communication is completed, the receiving side automatically prints the number of images specified by the sending side.
Copying can be performed, saving line connection time and reducing the labor of the transmitting or receiving operator.

Next, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1 shows the communication procedure. The facsimile receiving side 1 uses the non-standard signal NSF to inform the sending side 2 that it is a device that can make multiple copies after receiving the data, and the sending side 2 receives this. Whether or not there are copies of the same original specified by the operator on the transmitting side, and if there are copies of the same original, the number of copies 1NS8 is transmitted to the receiving side 1.

Figure 2 shows facsimile transmitter 3 and facsimile receiver 4.
It shows. The facsimile receiver 4 includes a control device 5, a modulation/demodulation device 6, a decoder 7, a storage medium 8, and a storage medium control section 9. Now, the facsimile transmitter 3 copies n copies of one document to the facsimile receiver 4 = 2NS
Suppose that a request is made to the facsimile receiver 4 by S. When the facsimile transmitter 3 sends a message to the facsimile receiver 4, the facsimile receiver 4 demodulates the message by the modem device 6, decodes it by the decoder 7, and sends the message to a block such as the recording section of the facsimile receiver 4. At the same time as being transferred, the demodulated take is also stored in the storage medium 8. When the message reception is finished, the facsimile receiver 4 disconnects the line connection by DCN, and then
Depending on the contents of the SS, the storage medium control section 9 and the decoder 7 are requested to read and decode the demodulated take n times from the storage medium 8, thereby obtaining n copies.

According to the invention, as explained above, the non-standard signal N8
By using F and N8S f and preparing a demodulation take storage medium on the facsimile receiver side, it is possible to obtain the number of copies specified by the transmitting operator without increasing line connection time or requiring human intervention. be able to.

As explained above, by using non-standard signals for transmission control and preparing a demodulated data storage medium in the facsimile receiver, the receiver can economically copy the number of copies specified by the sender's operator. can be sent to.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In addition to the standard signals used in normal facsimile communication, means for receiving control signals specifying multiple copies of a single document specified by the sending side as non-standard signals that are used for facsimile communication and do not disturb normal facsimile communication. and 2
A storage medium for storing a value picture signal or an encoded take of the value picture signal, and a message receiver (in M, a control means for recording this on a recording paper and at the same time writing the same take on a previous recording medium). After the communication is completed, the receiving side copies the number of copies specified by the transmitting side.
