Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the setting of optimum transmission condition optimum for each page of an original having plural pages by using a specific items at each page of the original as the transmission condition. CONSTITUTION:An optical reader (OMR) sheet 12 comprising common condition items representing the transmission condition and a specific condition item of each page is read by an OMR 13, both the items are sent to a facsimile equipment 20 and stored once therein. In loading plural originals 30, each page specific condition items at each page is added to the common condition item and the result is sent, the optimum condition is set to the picture of each page and the picture quality is improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention is capable of setting transmission conditions using OMR (optical mark reading device) or manual operation. The corresponding optimum line density, shading, etc. are set and stored separately, and these values are used and transmitted for each page.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a method for setting optimal 7x7mm transmission conditions corresponding to each page image of a multi-page M manuscript.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional facsimile machines, a method is used in which a function sheet for a specific destination is input using a function sheet reader at the time of transmission. That is, as shown in Figure 7, an example of an OMR (optical mark reader) sheet, it is divided into each item,
Prepare a function sheet that indicates the destination number, its 81@, transmitter code 1 communication mode, shading, etc. at the mark position, and insert this sheet into the reader and read it to read it on the operator's operation panel. This allows you to omit the operation of the numeric keypad and function keys.

Figure jg5 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a conventional example.

In the figure, the facsimile machine includes a control section 1, a memory 2. Keyboard (KB) 5, reading section 4. Recording section 5. Compression/decompression unit 6. -E: Dem (modulator/demodulator) 71 clock 10. It is composed of an automatic dialing section 11. After the transmission data is read by the reading section 4 and run-length compressed, it is stored in the memory 2, and the modem 7 modulates the carrier wave from the control section 1 at a predetermined time according to the clock 10 or directly, and the transmission data is sent to the network. It is sent to the commercial @ line via the control unit (NCU) 8.

Further, the received data is demodulated into a carrier wave from the line by the modem 7, and is temporarily stored in the memory 2 or decoded and recorded in the recording section 5. As the image data run-length encoding and decoding functions in the compression/decompression unit 6, for example, a modified S7man (ME) encoding and decoding system is used.

The operator inputs the dial number of the destination using the operation panel 6-1 provided on the keyboard 6 connected from the control section 1 via the operation control section 9, and sets predetermined function items using the function keys. In order to simplify these operations, it is sufficient to provide an OMR reader [11] connected to the control unit 1 and insert the aforementioned OMRM-reader 12.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the conventional example.

In the same figure, after inputting the manuscript, O! If the vIR sheet 12 is inserted, it is read (j), and if the OMR sheet is not present, the destination 9 function items at the time of transmission are set by operating the operation panel.

Then, the operation mode is set to transmit, the transmitter code is set, and the document collection and transmission are repeated until the transmission is completed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the case of multiple page originals between the above facsimile machines,
The transmission conditions are set in advance in the OMR as illustrated in FIG. The original image is selected according to its [category] ``Large font'' or ``Small font'' in the transmission mode section, and ``Light font'' or ``Dark font'' in the shading section.

However, when the 1f: setting is set for these sets of originals, all pages are transmitted using the same transmitter code and shading.

In this case, if there is a light document such as a spine in the multi-page document, if "dark text" is set in the OMR(f) light and dark item, almost the entire page will be transmitted in pure white.

Also, if dark IjK81 is included in the photo, etc., O
When "light text" is set in MR, the middle tone part of the photo becomes black.

Also, O for large letters (pictures) and small letters (pictures) K.
Naturally, the linear density in MR is 3.85 lines/m and 7.
If something that should be set to 7 lines/-m is set in reverse because it is set all at once, the former would result in unnecessary density and take time, and the latter would make it difficult to read.

Therefore, if the manuscript has 41 or more pages, and each page contains different images, in addition to the common transmission conditions, set the conditions specific to each page's image, such as line density and quality. By doing so, it is possible to improve the overall image quality.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting optimal transmission conditions for each page of a multi-page manuscript.

[Failure to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, OMRM
In a facsimile machine that performs transmission using an operating device that performs manual MJ settings, set the optimal specific condition items corresponding to each page image of a multi-page document, memorize these, and set the initial common The specific condition items are added to the condition items, set, and sent.

[For production]

As shown in the diagram explaining the principle of the present invention in FIG. These two items are temporarily stored in the facsimile device f220, and when a plurality of pages of the manuscript 60 are input, each page condition item for each page is added to the common condition item and sent.

This will help improve image quality since it will be possible to provide the best conditions for images on each page.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the same figure, points different from the conventional example shown in FIG. 5 are shown.

First, the OMR sheet 12 is shown in Figures 1 and 3 (Q).
As shown in the detailed diagram of FIG. 7, common condition items include, for example, "large characters" in the transmission mode of FIG.

In addition to removing "small text" and shading items,
A separate condition item is provided for each page, and P1. P2
．． P3. ...P? S(ri term fJ K ma/pa/
-y"t"! Specify the density ('17 lines/! or 585 lines/m) and concentration (dark, light). Second, a page-by-page condition item memory 2-1 is separately provided in an area of the memory 2, and the condition items are temporarily stored in advance when the OMB sheet 12 is inserted, and are transmitted for each page. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (6), the contents of the page-by-page condition item memory 2-1 correspond to pages 1 to n (
dark, light) and ms degree (7, 7 lines/■, or 585 lines/■
) is memorized.

FIG. 4 is a mud diagram showing the operation of the embodiment.

In the same figure, after setting the transmission mode, insert the OMR sheet and temporarily store the common condition items in the memory 2.
1 stores condition items for each page. Next, the reading unit 4 reads the original 'a30 of a plurality of pages and makes settings for executing the common condition items.

After that, settings are included to execute the corresponding condition items for each page from page 1 to page n.
The next IvA transmission is performed. After repeating until the final page, check whether there are any additional attachments to send (end the sending).

In the SA example, the condition items were inserted using the OMR sheet, but they can also be inserted manually from the operation panel, or the common condition items can be inserted from the OMR sheet. good.

The key is to separately store specific condition items for each page and add them to each page.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the optimal line density, ak/darkness, etc. corresponding to each page image of a multi-page manuscript are set and stored separately, and these values are used for each page. It is designed so that it can be sent using This allows fine-grained settings for each page (unlike conventional settings for multiple pages all at once), allowing optimal conditions to be set for each page, which greatly contributes to the improvement of rii2.
