Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the processing time and to simplify the processing with a facsimile device by having an interlocking operation between the facsimile device and a copying device and processing collectively the desired number of copy sheets at the transmission side. CONSTITUTION:A mark showing the number of copy sheets is put on a transmission original 2 and received and recorded on the recording paper 6 in the form of a mark 30a together with the contents of the original. A sensor 31 is provided at the prescribed position within a copying device 10 to read the number of copy sheets from the mark 30a. A facsimile device 1 produces the transmitted pictures on the paper 6 and sends them to the device 10. The device 10 reads the mark 30a on the paper through the sensor 31 and copies automatically the desired number of sheets with the paper 6 used as an original based on the detection signal of the sensor 31.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field The present invention relates to a facsimile device.

Prior Art In general, facsimile machines perform all document sending and receiving operations.
It is sea urchin. Therefore, on the receiving side, it is necessary to judge how many copies are required for the relevant departments based on the recording paper received and recorded, and to make copies for the number of copies, which becomes a problem in terms of judgment and time. At the same time, delays in processing and information may occur due to omissions or forgetting of checks. In this regard, it would be possible to install a facsimile machine in each related department, but this would be costly.

Purpose The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and aims to reduce processing time and simplify processing by linking with a copying means and processing the required number of copies at the sending side at once. p
It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile machine that can prevent check omissions and the like.

Structure An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, FIG. 1 schematically shows a facsimile machine (1
) is well known, the document table (
The transmission system (5) from the paper output tray (4) to the output tray (4) is set, and the roll storage section (
Receiving systems (9) from 7) to ejection order (8) are set.

An electrostatic copying device 00) serving as a duplicating means is juxtaposed on the recording paper ejection side of the facsimile+) device (1). This copying machine (QO) is also basically well-known,
A conveyor belt αi driven by a roller a21vc is provided on the contact glass αυ, and the document conveyed by the conveyor belt a field is exposed to light by a lamp I, and optical systems such as mirrors and lenses (15 are connected to a photoreceptor (IQ) The entire developing section (I7) develops the image, and it is transferred to the transfer paper (181) fed at a predetermined timing by the action of the transfer charger α■, separated by the separation charger (A), and transferred to the fixing section. Cυ,
The paper is ejected to the paper ejection tray (c) via the ejection roller (24).
1) and the copying machine α0) can each operate independently, but in order to link them, the tray (a) that temporarily stores all the received and recorded recording paper (6), the conveyor belt a4, and A paper feed roller (2'0) and a guide plate (2al) are provided between the paper feed roller (2'0) and a guide plate (2al) for feeding the recording paper (6)k) from the lay 0e to the transport bell)Q3).
′? ) is provided with a sensor (c) for detecting the presence or absence of recording paper (6) on the tray (1).

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the transmission document (2) is shown in FIG. 2 (4).
A number of copies mark (to) is used as shown in the number of copies mark (to).This number of copies mark (to) is attached to the recording paper as a number of copies mark (30 marks) along with the original content
6), this copy number mark (sensor G31 for reading the number of copies from 30) is provided at a predetermined position inside the copying machine αψ.This sensor OD is shown in Figs. As shown in Fig. 4, it is a combination of a plurality of light emitting diodes (three) and a phototransistor.

In such a configuration, when the facsimile machine (1) receives a signal, the recording paper (6) undergoes a reception recording operation, is cut into a predetermined length, and is then discharged onto the tray (2e) by the discharge roller (8). (recorded side facing down).

The discharge of the recording paper (6) onto this tray (26) is detected by the sensor (2). After the sensor status changes from OFF to ON, the leading edge of the recording paper (6) is detected. When the paper reaches the paper feed roller (27), the paper feed roller (27) is turned ON (Specifically, the sensor (C) should detect OFF→ONi and set a timer to delay it.) At the same time as this paper feed roller (27) is turned on, roller 0a is also turned on to drive the conveyor belt as. The paper feed roller (b) feeds the recording paper (
6) is driven by the conveyor belt (Q3) from a certain range, so it is fed even if the paper feed roller (2) stops. and,
When the leading edge of the recording paper (6) reaches the position where it is detected by the sensor (251), the detection signal causes the conveyor bell to move (13)
will be stopped. In this state, the sensor Gυ is connected to the recording paper (6
) to read the number of copies mark (30-). At this time, if the content of the copy number mark (aO-) is O, no copying operation sound is made and the recording paper (6) is ejected as is. On the other hand, when the content of the copy number mark (30) is other than O, copying for that number of copies is performed based on the detection signal of sensor 0υ. Then, after copying the required number of copies or when copying is not required, recording is performed. Paper (6
) When all the paper is ejected, check the signal of the sensor (c), and if there is recording paper (6) on the top of the tray, the paper feed roller (5)
), roller u21 is fully ON1, the next recording paper (6) is fully fed at the same time as the recording paper (6) is ejected. In this way,
The copying operation is automatically performed until there is no more recording paper (6) on the tray (to), and then the recording paper (6)? You can obtain the required number of copies of your manuscript.

In addition, in this embodiment, the copy number mark (30a) is read by the sensor 6υ, and the reflected light is small in the marked part, and the reflected light is large in the unmarked part. Therefore, one light emitting source may be used instead of separately providing two light emitting diodes in the phototransistor (331).Also, as the number of copies mark (to), the number of copies is detected as shown in Fig. 2(331). The number of sheets may be written in numbers as shown in (-). In this case, it may be read by an image sensor.

Further, in this embodiment, the printing means is provided in the copying machine QO)' to print and copy the required number of sheets, but it is also possible to print and copy using all the printing means. In other words, instead of the electrostatic copying device αIK, a printing device (including a plate making machine), an image transfer type copying device, an electrostatic printing device, etc. can be used. ＼ Effect As mentioned above, the present invention has the following effects by linking the conventional facsimile IJ device with a duplication means by copying or printing.
The sending side can process even the required number of copies at once, reducing time and preventing leaks, while the receiving side only needs to process all of the distribution, increasing efficiency and preventing information leaks. This is a great benefit for users, as it allows each department to handle processing through centralized facsimile management.
