3 is a control flowchart for synthesizing a border or a background image during transmission and copying according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4A and 4B are exemplary views of an original in which a frame and a picture are synthesized according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 4A and 4B, the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, in step 101, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the add-in format selection key is pressed from the key input unit of OPE 12, and proceeds to step 102 if the add-in format selection key is pressed. In step 102, the CPU 10 displays a message of “ADDING FORMAT” through the display unit of OPE 12, and proceeds to step 103. In step 103, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the Start key is pressed from the key input unit of OPE 12, and proceeds to step 104 when the Start key is pressed. In step 104, the CPU 10 displays a menu for selecting an “OUTLINE” mode and a “PICTURE” mode. At this time, the user selects one of the "OUTLINE" mode and the "PICTURE" mode. In step 105, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the "OUTLINE" mode selection key is pressed. If the "OUTLINE" mode selection key is not pressed, the CPU 10 checks whether the "PICTURE" mode selection key is pressed. At this time, if the "PICTURE" mode selection key is pressed, go to step 107 to check whether the original is inserted in the document glass, and if the original is inserted, go to step 108. In step 108, the central processing unit 10 loads the document, and then proceeds to step 109 to check whether the START key is pressed. When the START key is pressed, the process proceeds to step 110 where the background picture drawn on the original is scanned, stored in the memory 14, and the background picture registration operation is terminated.

However, when the "OUTLINE" mode selection key is pressed in step 105, the CPU 10 proceeds to step 111 and the CPU 10 sets a frame range input by the user through the key input unit of the OPE 12. That is, it sets how much space is occupied from the outer edge of the paper. Then, in step 112, the CPU 10 checks whether the START key is pressed from the key input unit of OPE 12, and proceeds to step 113 when the START key is pressed. In step 113, the central processing unit 10 checks whether an original is inserted in the document glass, and proceeds to step 114 when the original is inserted. In step 114, the central processing unit 10 loads the document, and in step 115, it is checked whether the START key is pressed from the OPE 12, and when the START key is pressed, the process proceeds to step 116. In step 116, the central processing unit 10 scans an edge drawn on the original and stores it in the memory 14.

As described above with reference to FIG. 3, when the frame or picture is registered and then sent or copied, the image data of the frame or picture and the document are combined and sent or printed. If the original is inserted after inspection, the process proceeds to step 202. In step 202, it is checked whether an addressing format mode is set. If it is not set to the addressing format mode, the flow proceeds to step 203 to perform a general transmission or copy function. However, if the mode is set to the addressing format, the flow proceeds to step 204 to check whether the "OUTLINE" mode selection key is pressed. If the "OUTLINE" mode selection key is not pressed, the flow proceeds to step 205. In step 205, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the "PICTURE" mode selection key is pressed and proceeds to step 206 when the "PICTURE" mode selection key is pressed. In step 206, the central processing unit 10 scans the document inserted in the document glass and stores the image data in the memory 14. In step 207, the CPU 10 checks whether the START key is pressed from the key input unit of OPE 12, and if the START key is pressed, the process proceeds to step 208. In step 208, the central processing unit 10 synthesizes the image data of the scanned document and the background picture stored in the memory 14 to send or print the line as shown in FIG. 4B. However, when the "OUTLINE" mode selection key is pressed in step 204, the flow advances to step 209 where the CPU 10 scans the document inserted in the document glass and stores the image data in the memory 14. Thereafter, in step 210, the CPU 10 checks whether the content of the document is out of the frame where the document is stored. If not, the CPU 10 proceeds to step 212. However, if out of the border proceeds to step 211, the central processing unit 10 reduces the scanned document at the set magnification and proceeds to step 212. In step 212, the central processing unit 10 synthesizes and transmits or prints image data of a document in a frame as shown in FIG. 4A.

FIG. 5 is a control flowchart for synthesizing and printing a preset border or background when receiving image data according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 5, an operation of synthesizing and printing a border or a background image upon receiving image data according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described. In order to synthesize the border or background picture when receiving image data, the border or background picture should be set and registered in advance in the flowchart of FIG. 2, and then the "OUTLINE" mode or the "PICTURE" mode should be set through the key input unit of OPE 12. . In step 301, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the document is received, and proceeds to step 302 if the document is received. In step 302, it is checked whether the addressing format mode is set. If it is not set to the addressing format mode, the flow proceeds to step 306 to perform a general reception function. However, if it is set to the add format format, the process proceeds to step 303 and checks whether it is set to the "OUTLINE" mode. In step 304, the central processing unit 10 synthesizes the image data of the received document and the edges stored in the memory 14 and prints them, as shown in FIG. 4A.

However, if it is not set to the "OUTLINE" mode in step 303, the process proceeds to step 305. If the CPU 10 is set to the "PICTURE" mode, the process proceeds to step 306 if the CPU 10 is not set to the "PICTURE" mode. In step 307, the central processing unit 10 synthesizes the background picture stored in the memory 14 with the image data of the received document and prints it.

As described above, the present invention, when the user wants to put the same border or background picture in the multiple document in the facsimile apparatus outputs the border or background picture is copied or copied at the time of copying or sending and receiving and can be conveniently used to improve the function There is an advantage to this. In addition, when a user transmits a personal manuscript, his or her phone number or address, and a sentence or picture that can represent himself are registered in advance, so that the user can conveniently use it for sending and receiving copies or documents.
