Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the recording quality by transmitting a data stored in an external device as it is to facsimile device of an opposite terminal. CONSTITUTION:The facsimile device consists of a reading section 1, an external device 6, a selector 5, a timing signal distribution control circuit 4, and a control section 3. A clock pulse signal from a clock generator 2 is outputted to any one of the device 6 and the reading section 1 via the circuit 4. The data from the device 6 and the reading section 1 is inputted selectively to the control section 3 via the selector 5. Since the data of the device 6 is fetched to the facsimile device without being recorded on a recording paper, the recording quality at the receiving side is improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a facsimile device used when transmitting data stored in an external device such as a computer as one-word facsimile transmission data, and particularly relates to This is a two-way facsimile device that is designed to improve the recording quality of the other party's facsimile machine by directly importing data and transmitting it to the other party's facsimile machine.

[Prior art]

It has become necessary to reproduce and record data stored in computers (hereinafter referred to simply as external devices), such as binary image data, as images at a remote location. is convenient. The data stored in an external device is recorded as an image on recording paper using a dot zolinter, for example.
This is because this can be used as a document to be read by a facsimile machine. However, when data is imported into a facsimile machine in this manner, it is undeniable that the recording quality at the other party's facsimile machine is degraded. This is because the data sent to the other party's facsimile machine is obtained by the sending facsimile machine reading the data that is once recorded as an image on recording paper. Therefore, if there are stains or distortions on the recording paper on which the image is recorded, the other party's facsimile machine will correct the problem.
It is something that will be recorded and played back.

Furthermore, it is undeniable that the recording quality generally deteriorates in view of the resolution of reading the recorded document. Recording quality could be improved by sending the data stored in an external device as is to the other party's facsimile machine, but the reality is that such a facsimile machine has not yet been realized. be.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device that can transmit data stored in an external device as is to a facsimile device of the other party.

[Summary of the invention]

For this purpose, the present invention focuses on the fact that a facsimile machine is equipped with a reading section consisting of an image sensor, etc., and is designed to accommodate an external device in the same way as the reading section. Specifically, data is read out from either the reading section or an external device in synchronization with a readout timing signal, and is selectively input to the facsimile machine as transmission data.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be explained below with reference to FIG. 2, but before that, the reading section of a facsimile machine according to the prior art will be briefly explained.

FIG. 1 shows an overview of the reading section and its surroundings. According to this, the control unit 3 controls the clock generator 2 so that the clock generator 2 generates a one-line read start timing signal and a predetermined number of readout clock pulse signals. . If these signals are given to the reading section 1, which is made up of an image sensor, a binarization circuit, etc., then the binarized data corresponding to one line will be serially read out from the reading section 1 and input to the control section 3. Each time a recording document is scanned in the sub-scanning direction, data corresponding to one line is obtained sequentially, but the data corresponding to one line obtained in this way is band-compressed. Then, it is transmitted in a modulated form to the other party's facsimile machine.

Next, the main parts of the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. (Fig. 2 shows the main part thereof together with an external device), and as shown in the figure, the 1-line read start timing signal f clock pulse signal from the clock generator 2 is transmitted to the external device 6 through the timing signal distribution control circuit 4. Data is selectively output to either one of the reading sections 1, while data from the external device IT 6 and the reading section 1 is selectively input to the control section 3 via the sensor 5. These selection systems are activated by the mode switching side signals from the control section 3, and the facsimile machine f! It is configured to be set appropriately from the outside. In the case of the reading section selection mode, the AND keys 4a and 5a are opened, making it possible to read and transmit the recorded document. Furthermore, in the case of the external device selection mode, the manual negation and goo h4b, 5b is opened, so that data transmission 1d from the external device surface 6 is possible. In this case, the data read from the external device 6 is so-called 6 (1 no real data), for example, 2048 bits per line, and it is easy to read it in this format. When data is sequentially read out in shell lines by the external device 6 under the control of the facsimile machine and then transmitted to the other party's facsimile machine via the facsimile machine, recording and playback are performed based only on those data. This is where quality can be improved.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the data that has been stored in the external device can be directly imported into the facsimile machine without being recorded on recording paper, so that the recording quality on the receiving side is improved. There is an effect.
