Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable confirmation of sender's information in transmitter side by providing a memory that stores sender's information and a font memory that generates character pattern and displaying the sender's information on the receiving paper of transmitter side by a command of an input key. CONSTITUTION:An image generating device 11 generates an address signal (a) in an address setting device 6 by an input of a key board 4 and reads out sender's information corresponding to the address from a sender's information memory 5. The sender's information is sent to a line counter 8 and a font address setting device 10 to obtain an address signal (b). Character information is read out from the font memory by the address signal (b). The character information is recorded on the receiving paper of the facsimile equipment by a printer 7. Accordingly, confirmation as to whether transmitted sender's information is mistake or not can be performed easily.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] In recent facsimile machines, prior to transmitting a document, sender information consisting of the department where the transmitter is installed, for example, company name, department name, etc., is stored in the memory within the transmitter.
There is a system in which the sender information is sent together with image information at the time of transmission, and the sender is displayed on the received paper.

However, if there is an error in the content of the sender information, an incorrect sender will be displayed to the recipient, which may cause confusion.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the reception section of a facsimile machine, in which a roll of reception paper (1) is pulled out by a platen roller (2), and a print head (3) is pressed against the roller (1). A record is printed on the surface by. When the receiving paper (1) is a thermal recording paper, the head (3) is a thermal head.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing part of this facsimile machine, in which (4) is the keyboard, and (5) is a caller that stores sender information, which is the name of the company that installed the facsimile machine, in the form of a character code. This is the original information memory. (6) is an address setting device for setting the address of the source information memory, and (7) is the print head (3) and the platen opening.
(2) and a printer including these drive devices. (8) is a line counter, and (9) stores a large number of character groups as a collection of many dots indicating each character is white or black, and stores the corresponding character according to the specified address as a series of the above dots. This is a font memory that outputs a certain pattern signal. (10) is an image generation device (described later)
10) and a font address setting device that sets the address of the font memory (9) according to each output from the line counter. The image generating device (11) is actually a CPU and sends a signal to the address setting device (6) by a predetermined input from the keyboard (4), and the address setting device (6) converts the signal into a predetermined address signal. The source information is read out from the source information memory (5). The read source information as a character code is sent to a line counter (8) and a font address setting device (10).
), the address signal for each line of the character corresponding to the character code is converted, and the font memory (9) is set according to the address signal. Font memory (9)
The characters read from the printer (7) are sent to the receiving paper (1) of the facsimile machine by the print head (3).
Conventionally, the sender information recorded above and extracted from the screen (5) was only used along with the image information when sending, but the predetermined input from the human key (4) The information can be displayed on the receiving paper provided in the facsimile machine by operation. Therefore, on the transmitter side, it can be confirmed whether there are any errors in the content of the sender information, and the document can be transmitted with peace of mind.

Also, in Figure 1, the original (1) was set incorrectly.
If the front and back sides are set in reverse as shown by the broken line (1a), the above-mentioned error can be discovered by checking the sender information as described above. In other words, if the receiving paper (1) is thermal recording paper, the back side of the receiving paper will not develop color, so if the sender information is not displayed even after performing the above-mentioned specified input operation, the receiving paper (1) may have been set incorrectly. means.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily check the sender information on the transmitter side, and it is convenient because communication errors can be prevented.
