That is, according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, when a large number of recording papers are received, documents can be easily distinguished using headline fonts without checking the contents of the original for each received document.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment according to the present invention.

1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a facsimile apparatus having a headline transmission function of various fonts according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the drawing, reference numeral 11 denotes a keypad portion provided with numbers and function keys for the user to dial or select each function provided by the facsimile, and 12 denotes an image of the document from the reflected light reflected from the original by the light source. A reading unit for converting to a signal, 13 is a memory for storing headline information informing of a transmission destination, a transmission time, and the like, and the status of various parameters or various functions of a facsimile for transmitting or receiving a read document image. A font storage unit having font data of headline information for transmission along with the read document image.

In addition, reference numeral 15 is a modulation and demodulation device for modulating the data to be transmitted or for demodulating the received data, 16 is a network control device connected to the trunk line to control the path selection and traffic regulation between the facsimile, 17 is the system By controlling and adjusting each block of the device to control the overall operation of the device, the font of the headline, which is the data informing the sender and the transmission time, is changed for each transmission, and the position is set at the top of the original. It is a control unit.

Next, the operation of the apparatus having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When power is supplied to the facsimile machine, the machine enters a standby state that checks various states for the facsimile device to operate, such as whether to insert a document, check a ring tone, and select a function. The controller 17 continuously checks whether a document has been inserted. (Step ST1), when an original is inserted, it is determined whether a line is connected for dialing (Step ST2).

Then, if the line is not connected, the process goes to the original insertion inspection step (ST1 step) to check whether the original is inserted again, and when the lines are connected, the controller 17 determines whether a dial number is input through the keypad unit 11. If the dial number is not input (step ST3), it is determined whether the line is cut (step ST4). If the dial number is input, it is determined whether the dial number input is completed (step ST5).

If the line is cut in step ST4, the process goes to the standby state and goes to the document insertion test step (ST1 step). If the line is not cut, the process shifts to the dial number input determination step (ST3 step).

Meanwhile, if the dial number input is not completed in step ST5, the controller 17 transitions to step ST3 to request re-entering of the dial number. When the dial number input is completed, the control unit 17 transmits the called station identification transmitted from the other party's facsimile apparatus. It is determined whether a signal is detected (step ST6).

At this time, if the CED signal is not detected, the controller 17 determines whether the start key is input by the user (step ST7), and if the start key is not input, checks whether the line is cut (step ST8), and cuts the line. If so, the process goes to the standby state and the process moves to the document insertion determination step (ST step 1).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step ST8 that the line is not cut, the controller 17 shifts to a start key input determination step (step ST7). When the start key is input or the CED signal is recognized, a reception side confirmation display signal Check whether the DIS (Digital Identification Signal) signal is received (ST9 step).

After that, if the DIS signal is not received and the DIS signal is not received, it is determined whether 40 seconds have elapsed (step ST10), and when 40 seconds has elapsed, the system enters the standby state and moves to the original insertion judgment step (ST1 step). Transitioning to step ST9, when the DIS signal is received, the DCS / TCF (Digital Command Signal Training Check) signal, which is a signal to transmit the original, is sent to the receiving side (ST11), and then the CFR, which is a signal to receive the original data from the receiving side. It is determined whether a (ConFirmation to Receive) signal is transmitted (step ST14).

At this time, the control unit 17 determines whether a FTT (Failure To Train) signal is transmitted from the receiving side that the original data cannot be received in the current state if the CFR signal is not received (step ST15). When it is received, it is confirmed whether to attempt a repeat / train (REPHASE / TRAIN) (step ST16).

As a result of the check, when attempting to replace / train, the process transitions to the DCS / TCF signal transmission step (ST11 step). If not, an alarm sounds for an error occurrence and returns to the standby state to determine whether to insert a document (step ST1). To transition to.

On the other hand, if the FTT signal is not received, check whether the DCS signal has been transmitted three times (step ST12), and if not transmitted three times, the process transitions to the DCS / TCF signal transmission step (ST11 step), and if it has been transmitted three times The alarm sounds for an error, returns to the standby state, and goes to the original insertion judgment step (ST1 step).

On the other hand, the control unit 17 transmits a start signal (TRAINING) to transmit the original when the CFR signal is received in step ST14 (step ST17), and stores the font of the headline font, which is data to inform the sender and the transmission time, etc. Selection is made sequentially from the unit 14 (step ST18). For example, when the headline font is selected from the first font storage unit when the document is transmitted, the headline font is selected in the order of the second, third, ..., n-th font storage unit when the next document is transmitted. .

Subsequently, the control unit 17 sets a predetermined position so that the headline having the selected font is located at the top of the recording paper (step ST19), and codes it to transmit it to the receiving side through the modulation / demodulation device 15 and the network control device 16. (ST20 step)

Then, the controller 17 checks whether the transmission of the headline data is completed (step ST21), and if not, transitions to the step ST20, and if it is completed, transmits the image data of the set original (step ST22). Then, confirm that the transmission of the original of one page is completed (step ST23). At this time, if the transmission of one page of the original is not completed, the process shifts to the step ST22. When the transmission of one page of the original is completed, it is checked whether there are more originals to be transmitted (step ST24). After transmitting the MPS (Multi-Page Signal) signal, which means transmission (ST25), it is determined whether the MCF signal has been received from the receiving side without abnormality and the next page reception preparation has been completed. (ST26 step).

On the other hand, when it is determined in step ST24 that it is not multi-page. That is, when there are no more originals to be transmitted, the control unit 17 sends an EOP (End Of Procedure) signal to the receiving end after completing the transmission of all the originals and informing the end of the transmitting procedure (ST28), and then from the receiving side. It is checked whether the MCF signal has been received without abnormality (step ST29), and if the MCF signal is not received, it is determined whether the EOP signal has been transmitted three times (step ST30).

At this time, if the EOP signal is sent three times, a warning sound for an error occurs and returns to the standby state, and transitions to the document insertion determination step (ST1 step). If the EOP signal is not sent three times, it transitions to the ST28 step. After the EOP signal is transmitted again, when the MCF signal is received in the MCF signal acknowledgment step (ST 29), a line transfer signal DCN is transmitted (ST31), and the line with the other side facsimile apparatus is switched (ST32). step).

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, when the received recording paper is piled up, each received document can be distinguished by using the font of the headline without viewing the contents.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope not departing from the technical gist of the present invention. For example, the head from the font storage unit 14 provided in the above embodiment is provided. Although the controller 17 sequentially selects the font of the line, the controller 17 may select it differently according to the location, time, date, day of the week, or month, or different sizes in countries which do not restrict the size of the headline font, and in other countries. It is also possible to improve the use selection by providing a font of.

That is, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments but may be limited only by the claims described in the present specification.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a large amount of recording paper is accumulated on the receiving side by transmitting the headlines including information such as the transmission destination and the transmission time, and the fonts transmitted at different times for each transmission. A facsimile apparatus and a method having a headline transmission function of various fonts (FONT), which can easily distinguish received documents using headline fonts for each received document, can be realized.
