Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform the facsimile automatic transmission to plural destinations by adding the number of sheets managing circuit having a simple circuit constitution, an end sheet detecting circuit, and a CED/facsimile signal detecting circuit. CONSTITUTION:When a set time comes, a call signal is outputted from a time storage circuit 9, and destination and the number of sheets control signals are transmitted from a destination storage circuit 10 and the number of sheets storage circuit 11 respectively and are transmitted automatically to a prescribed destination from an output terminal 18. When a CED or facsimile signal is transmitted from a facsimile equipment of the other party by this call signal, switched to the side of a transmitting circuit 7, and transmission originals are transmitted to the prescribed destination. When the number of transmitted originals coincides with a set number, a sheet number managing circuit 16 is operated to terminate the facsimile communication, and an end sheet detecting circuit 17 discriminates whether it is an end sheet or not in accordance with a hole provided on the end sheet; and when the end sheet is discriminated, the next destination is called automatically.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a facsimile transmission device. The present invention relates to an automatic sending facsimile machine that automatically transmits data to a plurality of pre-programmed destinations.

[Description of prior art]

The automatic sending facsimile device of this scale records the destination number in advance (1L), and assigns an abbreviation code to each destination on the header paper. Figure 1 shows the structure of the conventional sending document. ll, Figure 2 is a front view of the conventional header paper, but as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the abbreviation code 3 is written at the beginning of +1. Insert the header 11 paper 2 that was created, and shorten this header paper 2 = 1
- decipher code 3, automatically make a call to a predetermined destination, perform facsimile communication, and when header Jr1 paper 2 of the next destination is detected, end the facsimile communication, and write in header paper 2 above. After decoding the abbreviated code 3, an automatic call was made to the specified destination again, and a facsimile was sent.

Such superposition requires a logic circuit for decoding the lead wire code 3, and noise protection processing when reading the shortened code 3 or the above-mentioned header thread (2
It was necessary to either improve the accuracy of the fax machine transmitter or to take other protective measures to prevent the 1st line of ``G'' from being read incorrectly. Furthermore, when the abbreviation code 3 written on the header sheet 2 cannot be read, there is a drawback that the original is sent to a certain destination (7) when it should not be sent.

Another method is a so-called rerouting device, which stores all document information to be transmitted in a mass storage element 7 and transmits it sequentially to pre-programmed destinations or simultaneously to each destination. However, this method requires a large-capacity storage element to store document information, which has the disadvantage of increasing costs.
