[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a facsimile device that obtains a hard copy based on a received signal using, for example, a public telephone line.

[Conventional technology]

Known facsimile machines can transmit image information such as graphics and photographs to long distances using communication lines. At present, such facsimile devices have become widely used in the OA trend, as image communication can be carried out via public telephone lines. Recently, facsimile machines that provide high-speed transmission and are easy to operate have become popular.

The 5th generation of conventional facsimile machines that are so popular
As shown in the figure. This configuration and operation will be explained separately into a transmitting operation section and a receiving operation section.

(i) Circuit section for performing transmission operation This facsimile machine can transmit a document by operating a panel (not shown).

When transmitting information on a manuscript (not shown), the reading unit 213
The image information signal 211 obtained by reading is
The data is supplied to the compression/decompression unit 241.

Further, the sender information representing the self is sent to the sender information storage unit 217.
A source information signal 215 indicating the source information is supplied to the source information location specifying section 243. The source information storage section 243 specifies the location of the source information, and the compression/decompression section 241 adds the source information to the image information signal 211 at the specified location.
Supplied together with. In the compression/decompression unit 241, the data is compressed by its data compression circuit unit, and then supplied to the storage unit 225 and stored therein.

The control unit 245 controls the entire facsimile machine, and is controlled by the control unit 245 to control the storage unit 2.
The transmission information stored in 25 is read out. After that,
According to instructions from the control section 245, the protocol section 2
47, the signal is modulated by the modem 249, sent out to the communication line 251, and transmitted to the receiving side.

(ii) A circuit that performs speech.

When the illustrated facsimile machine is called, the information sent via communication diagram 8!251 (No. K is
Under the control of the control unit 245, the signal is first demodulated by the modem 249 and stored in the storage unit 225 via the protocol unit 247.

Thereafter, under the control of the control unit 245, the received information read from the storage unit 225 is sent to the compression/decompression unit 2.
The data is restored by the data restoration circuit section 41. The received data restored in this way is printed and recorded by the recording output unit 535.

In a facsimile machine in such a receiving state, the sender information location specifying section 243 of the sending facsimile machine
Figure 6 (A) and (B) depending on the position specified in
Printed records can be obtained under the conditions shown in .

In FIG. 2A, consider the case where sender information is added to a document in which image information is written in a predetermined rectangular area as shown by diagonal lines and then transmitted. In the recording by the recording/outputting unit 535 on the receiving side, the sender information is first recorded at the beginning of the recording paper.

In addition, in the same figure (B), if sender information is added and transmitted in addition to image information in a predetermined rectangular area as shown by diagonal lines,

By the way, especially when broadcasting the same transmission information to a large number of recipients, it is highly necessary to record such senders.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, in the case of so-called cant paper, the recording range in which reception is performed is determined in advance. Therefore, if you try to record the sender information along with the image information on the cut sheet, as shown in Figure 6 (
As shown in A), there is a problem in that part of the image information of the transmitted document is missing due to the sender information printed on the upper part of the recording paper.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6(B), even if sender information is added to and recorded in addition to the image information in a predetermined range, the lower part of the image information of the original document will be missing if it is used on Kanto paper.

If it is not Kant paper, the size of the received recording paper will increase by an amount corresponding to the sender information. As a result, the size of the recording paper varies, which poses a problem in terms of storage and the like.

The present invention was created in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device that solves the problems associated with transmitting and recording sender information as described above.
