CONSTITUTION:When a calling is made to an electrical transmission control unit 2 through a telephone line and the like, a control unit 1 receives image signals and recording is made on a rolled paper sheet by a record control unit 3 and a record transmission motor 4. Every time a record for one page of a paper sheet has completed, a cutter 5 is operated and the paper sheet with record is discharged to a prescribed position and piled. When the control unit 1 detects an interruption command or a procedure completion signal at a completion of one communication, a paper sheet which is some centimeters longer than the length of a paper sheet of one page of standard size is fed, cut by a cutter 5 and discharged as a slip sheet 15 for indicating the end of each communication. With such an arrangement, a plurality units of a recording medium piled and discharged can be classified by simple operations by making use of a recording medium with a different transmitting condition as a criterion.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a recording device, and particularly to a recording device that sequentially discharges recorded recording media to a predetermined position such as a paper discharge tray outside the device. It is.

[Prior Art] The type of device described in (1) is well known as a recording/outputting device for a facsimile machine, or a recording/outputting device for a computer, word processor, or the like. Particularly in facsimile machines, sheet-shaped or roll-shaped recording paper is stored inside the device, and recording is performed on the recording paper by thermal recording, thermal transfer recording, or inkjet recording. They are sequentially ejected to a paper ejection tray outside the device. When a roll of recording paper is used, the recording paper is cut into a predetermined size using a cutter or the like, and is sequentially stacked and discharged.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, it has become common for facsimile machines to automatically receive images, and in the &
It has become commonplace to perform multiple reception operations consecutively during a time period when the area around the device is unattended. If you repeat the automatic reception operation several times in a row in this way, the recording paper on which the received images are recorded will be ejected in a stacked manner in the order in which they were received.
The operator must check the ejected recording paper and received images and then classify each communication, which is extremely troublesome especially when automatic reception is performed many times. Met.

[One Step to Solve the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention sequentially stacks the recorded recording media at a predetermined position outside the device and A configuration is adopted in which the f-stage, which changes the conveyance conditions of the recording medium each time recording is completed, is immersed, and the predetermined recording breaks are indicated by the recording medium discharged under different conveyance conditions.

[Sakukawa] According to the above configuration, it is possible to easily classify recording media into units of records using recording media with obvious transport conditions as a guide.

[Embodiment] The present invention will be described in detail below based on an embodiment shown in one drawing. However, below, a recording device in a facsimile machine ξ will be exemplified.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the recording section of a facsimile machine that adopts the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral l is a control section that controls the operations of the entire device, such as image reading, image reception, and display. 0 image reading section and modem.

A communication control unit such as an NCU, an operation panel, etc. have the same configuration as the conventional one, and these are collectively shown as a power transmission control unit 2 in FIG.

The image data read by the image reading section during reception or copying operations is recorded by a recording mechanism using various recording methods such as a thermal recording method, a thermal transfer method, or an ink transfer method. Similarly, it is controlled by a recording control section 3 composed of a microcomputer or the like.

Of the recording mechanism, only a recording motor 4 for conveying a recording medium (hereinafter, paper is exemplified) made of thermal paper, paper, or plastic sheet is shown. Reference numeral 5 is a cutter for cutting the recorded recording paper page by page.

In this embodiment, the recording motor 4 is controlled by the recording control section 3 according to the progress of the recording operation.

It is also possible to directly control the control unit l.

The recording motor 4 is composed of, for example, a step motor, and conveys a roll or sheet of recording paper by a predetermined amount via a conventional drive mechanism, performs recording scanning, and moves the recording paper to a paper discharge tray after recording is completed. Eject this to a predetermined location such as.

Next, the operation in the second configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 2 shows the communication and recording control procedure by the control unit 1 in FIG.
The data is stored in a memory element (not shown) such as M.

When a call is made to the transmission control section 2 via a telephone line or the like, the control section 1 performs an image receiving operation in step SIO based on a procedure similar to that known in the art. Whether the receiving operation is automatic control or f-dynamic control, it is carried out in exactly the same way as in the past.If the reception of one page is completed in S15, then in step S20, the reception from the sending side is completed. It is determined whether one communication procedure has ended by detecting a command. Here, the determination is made by detecting MPS (multi-page 4'l 'J') which indicates that there is a next page. .1 If the communication has not been completed, the cutter is operated at the cut 11 of one page in step 515. Steps S10, 15, 20 and 25 are repeated to complete the receiving operation. The information is recorded on the recording paper, and when one page of recording is completed, the recording paper is sequentially ejected to a predetermined position such as a paper output tray.Since roll paper is used, the recording paper is cut after each page. There is.

1 Communication is completed and disconnection command or procedure end signal +'JE
When an OP etc. is detected, the process moves from step S20 to 528, and at 328, a line indicating the division of one page is recorded, and then at S30, a predetermined length, for example, a distance of several centimeters longer than the standard one-page recording paper, is recorded. Set the number of recording paper conveyance lines, and after conveying the final recording medium by this number of lines,
At step 40, the cutter is activated and υ1 is taken out as a slip sheet indicating the end of each communication.

By repeating the control in step 1 above, for example, by automatic reception,
! I! When a double-attack reception operation is subsequently performed, the recording medium placed on the waste paper tray or the like in the 1st position becomes as shown in Fig. 3.In other words, the final record of one communication is Since the paper is always conveyed a few centimeters more than the standard recording paper size and then ejected, this recording paper will protrude from the east of the output recording paper as the slip sheet 5. Therefore, the operator can After multiple receptions, you can easily classify the east of the recording paper for each communication using slip sheet 5 as a guide without having to check the received images each time.Moreover, the mount has a division between the recording sections. It is also possible to distinguish between interleaf paper and long paper because a line indicating this is recorded.

If the above processing is carried out, the sorting work after automatically receiving a large number of documents from outside the '116 at night will become very easy, and also multiple receiving operations can be performed at once even if the device is not in an unattended state. , which is also useful for later classification,
Work efficiency can be greatly improved.

In the configuration described below, when roll paper is used as the recording paper, the final recording paper for each communication is ejected for a long time,
Always make the final recording paper longer than the standard size. According to this method, even if the east side of the stacked recording sheets is aligned, the mount part will protrude from the east side, so it is possible to reliably know the end of communication. In the case of sheet-shaped recording paper, the recording paper is conveyed a predetermined length, and only the position in the east of the interleaf paper is shifted.

In the example below (-), an example was shown in which the final conveyance distance of the recording paper for each communication was changed. can also eject a predetermined length of unrecorded recording paper for each communication.Alternatively, for each communication, a communication containing communication results and other information for that communication or for communications that go back a predetermined number of times from that communication can be ejected. In an apparatus that outputs a result report, the conveyance conditions of the recording paper on which this communication result report is recorded may be changed.

Hereinafter, an example of a facsimile machine is shown, but
The technology of the present invention is not limited to this type of device, but can be widely applied to recording/output devices such as word processors and computers.For example, in a word processor, when multiple documents are continuously recorded, the recording paper is It is possible to change the conveyance conditions.

[Effect] As is clear from the following description, according to the present invention, in a recording device that sequentially ejects recorded recording media to a predetermined position outside the device, the recording medium is ejected every time a predetermined unit of recording is completed. The system is equipped with a means for changing the conveyance conditions of This method has an excellent effect in that it is possible to classify the recording media that have been ejected in piles of about 81 in number through this process.
