Abstract

Code each page data of a received original and store it in a storage medium; When each page data of the original is stored in the storage medium, a page pointer is incremented and attached to each page data of the original in order; When the attachment of the page pointer is completed, printing is performed in reverse order from the page data of the original containing the last page pointer among the page pointers. Therefore, by copying a manuscript of multiple pages or storing all data when receiving plural pages of fax data, outputting the reverse order from the last data can be provided to the user by preventing the output from being loaded in the reverse order.

Description

How to print a fax

The present invention relates to a printing method of a facsimile, and more particularly, to copy a plurality of pages of originals in a facsimile or to sequentially load the outputs in which multiple pages of fax data are received and output so that the outputs are not sorted separately. To a printing method of a facsimile.

In general, a facsimile is a terminal for data communication such as a document or an image, and is an office automation device in which fax data is transmitted or received using a public telephone network.

In recent years, as facsimile communication is generalized, much information is exchanged through facsimile. Especially for documents that need to be processed quickly, the exchange of information through facsimile is very effective, which greatly improves work efficiency.

However, in the conventional fax machine, when a user copies two or more originals or receives fax data, one page is output and two or three pages are output sequentially, so that the output is loaded in reverse order. There was a problem to sort.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to copy a multi-page manuscript or store all data when receiving a multi-page fax data, and then output in reverse order from the last data in reverse order It is to provide convenience to the user by preventing the stacking.

A feature of the present invention for achieving this object is to code each page data of a received original and store it in a storage medium; When each page data of the original is stored in the storage medium, a page pointer is incremented and attached to each page data of the original in order; When the attachment of the page pointer is completed, printing is performed in reverse order from the page data of the original containing the last page pointer of the page pointer.

Preferably, before storing in the storage medium, the method further comprises detecting that each page data of the original is transmitted to the reception buffer.

Preferably, the data is at least one of scanning data or fax data.

Preferably, the page pointer is data that is not displayed on the output during printing.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing a facsimile to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart for explaining a method of printing a facsimile according to the present invention.

The central processing unit 1 generally controls the facsimile according to a set program, and sequentially stores data (scanning data or fax data) in memory, especially when multiple pages of originals are copied or when multiple pages of fax data are received. When the storage of one page of data is completed during the storing process, the page pointers are sequentially attached to control the last page pointer to be printed in reverse order from the attached data. Here, the page pointer is attached to each page data of the original in ascending order so that the page of the original can be identified, and the data is not displayed on the output when printing.

The memory 2 stores program data, protocol data, text data, work contents related to transmission and reception, etc., and in particular, stores all data including a page pointer under the control of the central processing unit 1. .

An operation panel (OPE) 3 includes a display device capable of displaying a plurality of keys and display data of the central processing unit 1 so as to generate key data of the fax.

The scanner 4 scans the data of the document, converts the data into digital scanning data, and provides the data to the central processing unit 1.

Under the control of the central processing unit 1, the modem 5 modulates and outputs the output data of the central processing unit 1 in an analog form, and demodulates and outputs the analog fax data transmitted from the transmission side. The network control unit (NCU) 6 is operated under the control of the central processing unit 1 to form a call loop of a public switching telephone network (PSTN) (consisting of rings and tips) and a modem ( 5) and interfacing the signal of the general telephone network.

The printer 7 prints data by the control signal from the central processing unit 1, and the sensor unit 8 detects the remaining amount of recording paper or documents and provides them to the central processing unit 1. do.

Hereinafter, the operation of the printing method of the facsimile according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

First, when a user copies an original using the fax scanner 4 or the fax data is transmitted through the modem 5 at the transmitting side (S110), the central processing unit 1 receives the scanner 4 or the modem ( The data transmitted in 5) (scanning data or fax data) is temporarily stored in the reception buffer (S120).

In this state, when data for one page is completed in the reception buffer (S130), the data is coded (S140), and the coded data is stored in the memory 2 (S150).

Thereafter, the central processing unit 1 detects that the storage of one page of data is completed in the memory 2 (S210), and attaches a page pointer of "0" to the data of one page when the storage is completed. (S220). Further, page pointers such as "1", "2", "3", and "4" are added to the data for each page to be sequentially stored in increasing order. That is, a page pointer of "0" is attached to data for one page, "1" for data for two pages, and "2" for data for three pages.

Thus, it is detected whether all of the page pointers are attached to the data (S310), and when the last page pointer is attached (that is, when the data is all stored in the memory 2), the printer 7 controls the last page pointer. The data is printed in the reverse order from the included data (S320). During the printing process, the page pointer included in each data is detected (S330). When the page pointer becomes "0", the data having the page pointer of "0" is detected. After printing, the entire process ends (S340).

If data is not stored in the reception buffer in step 130 (S130), the process returns to step 120 (S120) to perform the process after step 120 (S120), and in step 210 (S210) of the data to the memory 2 If the storage is not completed, the process returns to step 150 (S150) and the process after step 150 (S150) is performed.

In addition, if the last pointer is not attached in step 310 (S310), the process returns to step 220 (S220) to perform the process after step 220 (S320), and the page included in the data for each page in step 340 (S340). If the pointer is not "0", the process returns to step 330 (S330) to perform the process after step 330 (S330).

Therefore, the scanning data or fax data transmitted from the scanner 4 or the modem 5 is stored in the memory 2, the page pointers are sequentially attached to each scanning data or fax data, and the last page pointer is attached. Outputs are sequentially loaded by printing in reverse order from scanning data or fax data.

As described above, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined by the claims below and equivalents thereof.

As described above, the present invention provides convenience for the user by copying the plural pages of the original or storing all the data when receiving the plural pages of fax data and outputting the data in reverse order from the last data. It works.
