Abstract

PURPOSE:To standardize the size of recording paper and facilitate filing operation by recording the monitor picture of an original and information on a communication state on sheets of recording paper of the same size by a facsimile equipment provided with a monitor copying function. CONSTITUTION:A picture signal 12 obtained from a readout part 11 is converted into a binary signal, which is supplied to a transmission part 13 for compression processing and modulation, and then sent out to a communication circuit 15. The signal is further supplied to a monitor part 14, and an original signal 16 for monitoring obtained by thinning out the image signal 12 by one line for two is supplied to a recording part 17 and recorded in the upper half part 21 of recording paper 19. A reception part 26 decodes a control signal sent from a reception side at the stage of the completion of the transmission of the original and supplies specific control information as reception-side communication state information 27 to a character generator 23 to record it as a monitoring communication state signal 25 in the lower half part 22 of the recording paper 19.

Regarding the facsimile machine installed.

[Prior art]

Facsimile IJ device is pale! When transmitting a manuscript with engraved characters, thin figures, etc., there are times when you want to know in what condition these will be reproduced.

For this reason Monique Copy a t'l! 2 to 1j11°■
There are modern facsimile machines.

Can this facsimile machine read? At the stage where the image information read in step 11 is being transmitted, the image information read out is sent to its own recording section and the image is recorded. Therefore, each time one original is sent, the sending side also obtains exactly one recording area (monitor image).

However, in such a facsimile machine, even if an attempt was made to record the communication status at the time of transmitting the document on the recording paper, there was no space to do so. Therefore, a part of the 4-pi image recording area is left redundantly blank, and information such as the transmission date and time, recording density, presence or absence of a retransmission request from the receiving side is printed in this area. Furthermore, in facsimile machines that use long recording paper, a method has been adopted in which, after recording of an image is completed, data representing the communication status is bordered on the following recording paper.

However, with the former facsimile machine, it is not possible to monitor the image in the area where the frame is left open, and the original purpose of the monitor may not be achieved.

Furthermore, the latter type of facsimile machine not only cannot use cut paper feeding type facsimile machines, but also
There was a problem that recording paper became uneconomical.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of these circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device that can record a monitor image of a document and information representing a communication state on recording paper of at least the same size as the document without interfering with each other. is its purpose.

[Structure of the invention]

The present invention includes a reading section that reads image information on a document, a transmitting section that transmits the read image information, and a character that converts predetermined information representing the state of the Japanese language at the time of transmitting the image information into a character pattern. The image information transmitted by the generating means and the transmitting section is thinned out line by line and is compressed in the sub-scanning direction to record the image information, and the character generating means (jj I got it!!
l! The facsimile machine is equipped with a monitor unit that prints information representing the status.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Examples.

FIG. 1 shows the facsimile machine of this embodiment. The reading unit 11 uses an image sensor to sequentially read image information on a document line by line. Both signals 12 fljed in this way are supplied to both the transmitter 13 and the monitor 14 after being binarized. After compressing the signal, the transmitter 13 modulates the signal and sends it to the communication line 15.

The monitor section 14 divides the frequency of the clock pulse generated for each scan of the image sensor into 1/2, controls the gate using this frequency, and thins out the image signal 12 by one line into two lines. The monitor original signal 16 obtained in this manner is supplied to the recording section 17. The recording section 17 similarly controls the sub-scanning of the recording paper using a clock pulse whose frequency is divided into 1/2, thereby recording a monitor image.

i', Ts 2 To 11 is expressed by using Monique Imoe, which is thus i'j, as a manuscript.

The tenth line of manuscript 18 is thinned out by one every two trees and is printed on recording paper 1.
The monitor image will be displayed on 9-. This makes it possible to accurately monitor the print density of the light original 1q. Although the scanning line density is reduced by half,
The TIJ compatibility of the image can be almost completely checked for the entire original +1111.

When the monitor image of the original has been created in this way, as shown in FIG.
is reproduced in a compressed form on the upper half 21 of the recording paper 19. The 8I margins of the lower half 22 of the recording paper 19 are filled with character information for monitoring "B, C" output from the character generator 23.

The character generator 23 generates a character pattern based on the transmission side communication status information 24 received from the transmission side facsimile machine.

The facsimile machine of this embodiment is capable of recording the result of the transmission of documents sent from the receiver side to the lower half 22 of the recording paper. When the process is completed, the control signal sent from the facsimile machine (not shown) on the receiving side is decoded, and predetermined control information such as a request for retransmission of the document is received (cj side communication status information 27).
is supplied to the character generator 23 as The character generator 23 generates a character pattern based on this, and supplies it to the recording section 17 as a status signal 25 to the monitor interface described above.

In the embodiments described above, the image information is uniformly thinned out line by line, but it is also possible to completely reproduce the image information only for a desired sub-scan interval.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In this way, according to the present invention, it is possible to record both the monitor image and the information representing the communication status on cut paper of the same size as the original. There is one place where these files can be easily linked.
