Abstract

PURPOSE: A method capable of receiving a short manuscript by storing data received from a transmitter side in a memory and printing from a last page of the data stored in the memory is provided. CONSTITUTION: A method for printing a receiving manuscript of a facsimile which has a memory therein, the method comprising the steps: sequentially storing received data in pages in a memory; judging whether all data from a first page to a last page are received; and printing all received data from the last page; and selecting a receiving printing mode after performing the step of printing all received data from the last page so that printing the data from the last page whenever the receiving printing mode is selected.

Description

How to Print Fax Originals

The present invention relates to a method of printing a received document of a facsimile, and more particularly, receiving a facsimile in which the received document is automatically sorted by outputting the data stored in the memory from the last page after the reception of the received data is completed. A method for printing an original.

In general, a facsimile is a device capable of performing a simulated transmission since the fax data read from the document is transmitted to an external facsimile via a communication line or a fax data received from an external facsimile is printed out through a communication line.

In recent years, as fax communication becomes general, much information is exchanged through facsimile. Especially for documents that need to be processed quickly, the exchange of information through facsimile is very effective, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

As information exchange through facsimile is performed very frequently, memory is installed in the facsimile to improve the reception rate of the information or to receive a large amount of information.

Such a facsimile is processing the data in the memory in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) method in which the data stored in the memory is printed immediately after receiving the data in one page unit.

However, there are the following problems in the method of printing a received document of such a facsimile.

(1) Since data is printed in the order in which they are received, the last page of the original at the time of transmission becomes the first page at the time of reception, so that the user has to inconvenience sorting the received originals one by one.

(2) Since the first page at the time of transmission becomes the last page at the time of reception, the user cannot intuitively identify the receiver or the sender.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to receive sorted originals by storing data received from a transmission destination in a memory and then printing from the last page.

The present invention for achieving the above object is to sequentially store the data received from the sender in the page unit in the memory, and to print the received data stored in the memory from the last page after the reception is completed up to the last page of the received data It features.

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

1 is a schematic block diagram of a facsimile applied to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the central processing unit 1 generally controls various operations of the facsimile according to a set program.

The memory 2 stores program data, protocol data, text data, work contents related to transmission and reception, and accesses or stores data under the control of the central processing unit 1.

The operation panel (OPE) 3 includes a plurality of keys capable of generating key data of the facsimile and, in particular, a key for selecting a reception print mode, and inputs them to the central processing unit 1 when the key data is generated. And a display device capable of displaying the display data of the central processing unit 1.

In this case, when the reception print mode is selected, the FILO (First In Last Out) state is executed in which the received data is stored in the memory and the data is output in the reverse order stored in the memory when the reception of all data is completed. When the reception print mode is released, the received data is stored in the memory, and then the data is output in the order in which the data is stored in the memory, thereby printing in the page unit.

The scanner 4 scans an image of an original, converts the image into digital image data, and transmits the image 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 analog form, and demodulates and outputs the analog input signal.

The NCU (Network Control Unit) 6 operates under the control of the central processing unit 1 to form a call loop of a general telephone network (consisting of rings and tips) and to provide signals from the modem 5 and the telephone network. Interfacing.

The printer 7 prints the received data according to the control signal from the central processing unit 1, and the sensor unit 8 detects the remaining amount of the recording paper or the document and detects it on the central processing unit 1. The speaker 9 generates an alarm by the control signal output from the central processing unit 1.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of printing a received document according to the present invention, which includes a step (S10) of connecting with a transmitting side to receive data, a step of searching whether a reception print mode is selected (S20), and a reception print mode. The reception data processing step (S30) when it is selected, and the reception data processing step (S40) when the reception print mode is not selected.

A method of printing a reception document of a fax having such a configuration will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The central processing unit 1 checks whether the 'Ring' signal is input to the modem 5 (S11). When the 'Ring' signal is input, the central processing unit 1 operates the modem 5 to open a general telephone network. Exchange (S12).

After exchanging the protocol, it is searched whether a preset reception print mode is selected (S20).

As a result of the search, when the reception print mode is selected, reception of the fax data is started (S31), and the received fax data is stored in the memory 2 (S32).

It is searched if the reception and storage of data is completed (S33), and the processes of steps S31 and S32 are repeated until the reception and storage of data is completed.

When the reception and storage of data is completed, the fax data stored in the memory 2 is printed (S34), and when the printing is completed (S35), it is returned to the initial standby state.

On the other hand, if the reception print mode is not selected in step S20, reception of the fax data starts (S41).

It is searched whether the end of page (EOP) indicating the end of one page has been received from the transmitting side (S42), and the received data is kept stored in the memory 2 until the EOP is detected.

When the EOP is detected, the received data stored in the memory 2 is printed in page units (S43), and it is searched whether the reception and printing of the data are completed (S44).

If data reception and printing have been completed, the process returns to the initial standby state, and if data reception and printing has not been completed, the process is repeated from step S41.

Therefore, the user can print from the last page of the received data stored in the memory by selecting the reception print mode.

Thus, according to the receiving document printing method of the fax according to the present invention, there are the following advantages.

(1) Received originals are automatically sorted by printing from the last page of data stored in the memory after data reception from the sender is completely finished.

(2) As the received document is sorted, it is possible to intuitively determine the bibliography of the document such as the recipient and the sender described on the first page of the received document.

Claims (2)

In the method of printing a received document of a fax with a built-in memory: Sequentially storing the received data in memory in units of pages; Determining whether reception is completed by the last page of the data; And printing the received data from the last page. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving document printing method of the facsimile is: And selecting a reception print mode for performing the step of printing from the last page, so that printing is performed from the last page only when the reception print mode is selected.
