Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a facsimile equipment capable of transmitting only a required part independently of the form at of an original by using a handy scanner for the read system of the original. CONSTITUTION:The handy scanner 1 whose subscanning is executed manually is used for the read system in a facsimile equipment where the read system reading optically the transmitted original and a recording system applying hard copy based on a reception signal are provided. That is, picture information of the original 2 read optically by the handy scanner 1 is processed by a facsimile main body 4 through a cable 3. Thus, it is possible to transmit directly an original which cannot be separated one by one sheet such as a book. Moreover, only the required part is transmitted and special editing work such as elimination of undersired part is not needed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine that uses a handy scanner as a reading system.

[Conventional technology]

Generally speaking, a facsimile machine consists of a reading system that optically reads the contents of a document to be sent and converts it into an electrical signal, a recording system that makes a hard copy to a printer or the like based on the received signal, and a system that processes the data of each of the reading system and recording system. It consisted of a data processing system that expanded and compressed the data, and a controller system that controlled the overall operation, and were usually integrated.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional facsimiles often have fixed reading systems, and as a result, the documents that can be sent are often limited to sheets. Therefore, for items such as books that cannot be separated one by one, it is necessary to create a sheet-like manuscript using a copying machine and input the manuscript into a facsimile machine, which is labor-intensive and resource-consuming. This required time-wasting work.

There are also facsimile machines in the world that can send items such as books, although the number is small.

However, since such a device must drive a reading system, it is large in size and cannot be overlooked in modern offices where space saving is progressing.

Also, when you want to send only a part of a book, unnecessary parts are captured, so there are many cases where you end up making one copy, editing the manuscript, and then inputting it into the facsimile.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems with conventional facsimile machines.The purpose of the present invention is to include a handy scanner in the document reading system so that only the necessary parts can be scanned without being affected by the document format. It provides a facsimile machine that can send faxes.

[Means for solving problems]

The facsimile of the present invention has a reading system that optically reads a transmitted document and a recording system that makes a hard copy based on a received signal, and uses a handy scanner that manually performs sub-scanning in the reading system. It is characterized by what happened.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an external configuration diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

Image information of a document 2 optically read by a handy scanner 1 is processed by a facsimile main body 4 via a cable 3.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the electrical operation of the embodiment of FIG. 1.

The handy scanner unit 6 includes an image processor 7 and an encoder 8. The encoder 80 function is to detect the position in the sub-scanning direction so that it is not affected by the sub-scanning speed.

The image IT7 information read by the image sensor 7 is turned into a binary signal by the binarization processing circuit 9, and as the encoder 8 moves, it is stored in the RAM 10 line by line, and all the image information for one screen is stored. , RA~110. RAM
The image information stored in l0 is converted into compressed data by the CPU 12, modulated by the modem 13, and sent via the NCU 14 to the line 151\.

Also, when receiving, the image information sent from line 15 is
It is input to the modem 13 through the NCU 14. The image information demodulated by the modem 13 is converted into decompressed data by the CPU 12, and is input to the thermal head drive circuit 18 to drive the thermal head 19. The step motor 17 performs this.

All of the above controls are performed by the CPU 12 according to a program stored in the ROMII.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, originals that can be sent are often limited to sheets because the original reading system is fixed in the past, but documents such as books can be transmitted one by one. Even originals that cannot be separated can now be sent directly. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate waste that occurs when transmitting manuscripts such as books. In other words, it is no longer necessary to create a sheet-like original using a copying machine and input the original into a facsimile machine.

In addition, only the necessary parts can be sent, and there is no need for special editing work such as deleting unnecessary parts.

Furthermore, since handheld scanners can be operated freely, they can even send images that would be impossible to send using conventional facsimiles, such as documents or pictures posted on walls, or content written on blackboards. , it became possible to send information directly, making it possible to transmit information more quickly and reliably.
