Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain efficient reference of a picture data in a memory by controlling the recorder that picture data of some lines after a part appearing of the first picture of each page of the picture data are printed as the output in a memory. CONSTITUTION:In recording the picture data in the picture memory 3, the picture data is extracted from the memory 3, fed to a recording head 4 and every time it is recorded by one line on a registration paper sheet 5, the recorder is controlled by a recording control section 1 so as to feed sequentially the paper sheet with a step motor 6. The control section 1 detects the header added at each page when the picture data is received so as to attain program researching of each page. Then the first line of the picture data is read and when it is not a blank, the picture data is transmitted to the head 4 and one line's share is printed on the paper 5. The control section 1 gives a command to the motor 6 so as to pay off the paper 5 of the recording length for one line's share. Then after the recording for L-cm's share only for the picture part of a page is conducted, the operation above is repeated until the recording of L-cm's share of full pages is recorded.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an image recording device, and more specifically, an image recording device having a storage means for storing image data and a recording means for recording,
The present invention relates to an image recording apparatus configured to control the output of its storage means.

[Prior art]

As image recording devices, for example, recent facsimile devices are increasingly equipped with an image memory and have a function of storing image data read twice in the memory. In conventional devices with this function, when the user wants to view the contents of the image memory or the contents of the document stored in the tab for confirmation or other purposes, the user cannot view the contents at all, or only a portion of the recording paper can be viewed. I had to record all the images.

Therefore, if the stored data is several pages worth of recording paper, all you have to do is "just look at it".
There are disadvantages in that it takes a long time,9 and the amount of unnecessary recording paper used just for reference increases.

In order to alleviate this drawback, it is necessary to
A possible method is to record the extent and identify the content of the document, but there is a problem that there is a lot of blank space at the leading edge of the document, and simply recording the leading edge is ineffective.

〔the purpose〕

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional example, and provides an image recording system that can be referenced in a short time when referring to the contents of a document, and that requires less recording paper. The purpose is to provide equipment.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 and subsequent diagrams explain one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is a recording control section, which accepts image data, adds a header 2 to each page, and prints an image. Store it in memory 3.

When recording the image data in the image memory 3, the image data is taken out from the image memory 3, sent to the recording head 4, and every time one line is recorded on the recording paper 5, the step motor 6 is used to move the recording paper. The operation of sequentially sending data is performed under the control of the recording control section 1.

Next, as for the operation of the embodiment configured as described above, - the case where the contents of the image data stored in both image memories 3 are taken out and referred to outside again will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. explain.

First, in step S1, the facsimile apparatus enters a preparation state for a recording operation.

Next, in step S2, it is determined whether or not to start an operation of retrieving recorded data in the storage memory 3 for reference. If the reference to the recorded data is to be started, the process advances to the next step S3; otherwise, the process is suspended from proceeding to the next step until a reference start is issued.

In step S3, the "recording start flag" is turned on. The meaning of this print start flag (FLA, G) will be explained later.

After step S3, the process moves to step S4, where when the recording control section receives the image data, it detects the page header added to each page and locates the beginning of each page.

Next, in step S5, the first line of the image data is read.

Furthermore, in the next step S6, [Record Star] FLAGj
Determine whether it is on or off. When reading the first line of image data, the recording star (FLAG) is on, so the process moves directly to the next step S7.

In step S7, it is determined whether any image is recorded on the currently read line, that is, the first line, that is, whether there is "black data".

If there is no "black data", that is, it is a blank line, the process returns to step S5, and if there is "black data", that is, it is not a blank line, the process moves to the next step S8 (Recording Star) FLAG Turn off.

As is clear from the above, the recording start FLAG is turned on if the line just read is blank, and turned off if it is not blank.

If the read line is not blank, step 87゜S8
After that, the process proceeds to the next step S9, where the image data is sent to the recording head 3 and one line is printed on the recording paper 5.

Furthermore, in step 810, the recording control section 1 issues a command to the step motor 4 to feed out the recording paper 5 with a recording length of one line.

Next, in step 811, it is determined whether or not the number of lines corresponding to a preset value Lcm has been recorded. If Lcm has not been recorded, the process returns to immediately before step S5; otherwise, the process proceeds to the next step 812.

If it is determined in step S5 that recording for Lcrn has not been completed, steps 85 and 86 are repeated once again, but this time step S8 has been passed, so [recording star] FLAGJ is turned off. There is. Therefore, the loop of jumping directly from step S6 to step S9, passing through steps 89 and 810, and returning to step S5 again is continued until h minutes have been recorded.

When Lcrn of image portions of a certain page have been recorded, the process moves to step 812, and steps S3 to 811 are repeated until Lcm of image portions of all pages have been recorded.

When this operation is completed, the process returns to immediately before step S2, returns to the initial state, that is, the reference start waiting state, and the operation is completed.

Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the image sequence corresponding to L3 is continuously recorded from the row where the first image of each member of the image data is displayed over all pages as shown in FIG. can do. As a result, the time spent recording image data without reference can be significantly reduced.
Also, it is possible to significantly reduce the time required to refer to the contents of image data.

In this example, the recording length is set to Lcm, but
In addition to a method in which the length is fixed, a method in which the length can be determined arbitrarily by the user may also be considered.

〔effect〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, by simple control of printing only the portion where the first image of each image data appears and the following lines as output in the image memory, The effect of efficiently referencing image data in memory can be obtained.
