Abstract

PURPOSE: A page information printing method for a facsimile is provided to precisely distinguish the sequence of received data when printing a plurality of pages at once, thereby simplifying the putting of the printed sheets in order. CONSTITUTION: A page information printing method for a facsimile includes the steps of decoding received facsimile data according to a predetermined format(310,320), generating data of a printing format from the decoded facsimile data to print(332-336), and additionally printing a current page with page division information thereof whenever sensing an end of each page while printing(342-346), wherein the page division information is a page number of a corresponding page.

Description

Method for printing page information in facsimile}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to facsimile, and more particularly, to a method of printing page information for inputting the order of printing chapters when printing a receiver terminal identification (RTI).

In general, the facsimile machine is equipped with a scanner capable of reading the document internally, a printer capable of outputting data in character form, and a communication means such as a telephone line capable of transmitting and receiving data with a remote party. It is an integrated device.

In general, when printing a fax, one document file received as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C is decoded and then generated and printed in a print format. At this time, when the receiver terminal identification (RTI) is set to print, information about the "receive set ID", "receive time", "receive page", "reduction rate", etc. is generated at the end of the page. However, when the received document is printed in multiple sheets instead of normally printed on one sheet, for example, auto reduction is ON, but the document is long and cannot be reduced in one sheet. If auto reduction is off, you must print in multiple sheets. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, there are various types of RTI printing methods, and each company applies a different method.

Referring to FIG. 1A, after receiving and decoding fax data, the RTI is printed only on the last chapter (n-th print data) and no information is printed on the middle chapter.

Referring to FIG. 1B, after receiving and decoding the fax data, the RTI is printed only on the last chapter (n-th print data), and the information on the continuous chapter is the continuous chapter (for example, continue1 ... continue n-1). Print

Referring to FIG. 1C, after receiving and decoding fax data, the same RTI information is displayed for each printer data.

However, in the RTI printing method illustrated in FIGS. 1A to 1C, when pages are mixed after printing a plurality of documents, it is difficult to check which chapters follow which one. In other words, if the manuscript is not arranged in sequence, there is a problem in that it is necessary to arrange and determine which chapter comes after which chapter after the manuscript.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a facsimile page information printing method that facilitates the arrangement of received data by printing the RTI in which the page division information is set to the current page information when the RTI is printed. .

In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a fax page information printing method,

In the facsimile page information printing method,

Receiving and decoding the facsimile data according to a predetermined format;

Generating and printing the decoded fax data as data in a print format;

The page information printing method includes a process of adding a current page and its page division information each time the end of the page is detected during the printing process.

1A to 1C are conceptual views illustrating a conventional method of printing page information.

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

2 is a block diagram of a facsimile system to which the present invention is applied.

Referring to FIG. 2, the input unit 220 receives fax data through a telephone line PSTN. The fax controller 210 transfers the fax data input from the input unit 220 to the memory 250 through the noise filter and the A / D converter. The memory 250 stores the page received from the fax controller 210. The central processing unit (CPU) 240 stores the fax data received from the fax controller 210 in the memory 250 according to the head format, prints the fax data stored in the memory to the fax engine 260, and prints the data. Whenever the end of page is detected during the process, the RTI is printed by appending the current page and its page division information. The ROM 230 stores a command and an input / output command for controlling the central processing unit (CPU) 240.

3 is a conceptual diagram of printing page information according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, one page of fax data is received (310). The received fax data is then decoded (320). Subsequently, a page of decoded data is generated and printed as one piece of print data (332). RTI information is generated at the end of the print data page (342). This RTI information includes not only the current page information but also information that this page is divided into one or more pages, that is, this chapter is the first chapter of one page. For example, the first chapter of the page is displayed as "1 page" and the additional chapter is displayed as "1 + n", and the first page of the page is displayed as "1-1" and the additional chapter is "1". -n ". For example, the first chapter displays 1 or 1-1 (342), the second chapter displays 1 + 1 or 1-2 (344), and the nth chapter displays 1+ (n-1) or 1-n is displayed (346).

When one print is finished, decode the fax data again, generate the next print data, and print the second page (1 + 1 or 1-2) on the first page. This process is repeated for n pages, in which information is printed as the nth chapter (1+ (n-1) or 1-n) of one page. This process prints all one page, then continues to page two and proceeds in the same way as on page one. In this case, the page is designated as two pages, and each chapter to be printed has the number of the corresponding chapter. Finally, after printing for n pages, all printing is completed.

4 is an overall flowchart illustrating a method of printing page information of a facsimile according to the present invention.

First, fax data is received through a modem (step 412).

Then, decoded line counting is performed while decoding the received fax data according to a predetermined coding scheme (step 414).

Then, the paper to be printed is loaded (step 416).

Subsequently, the printed line counting is performed while generating one piece of print data in accordance with the print head format using the decoded data (step 418). At this time, the print data starts to be printed while feeding the print paper (step 418).

Subsequently, it is determined whether the paper sensor sensing the end of the paper is off (step 419). In this case, if the paper sensor is off, the RTI information is generated from the point in time, and the RTI information is added to the RTI information in addition to the reception time, the reception set ID, and the page information (step 420).

Then, after printing the RTI, the paper is ejected to end the chapter of the page (step 424).

Then, if the printed line counting value is less than the decoded line counting value, it is fed back to step 416 to print the next chapter of the page.

If the printed line counting value is greater than or equal to the decoded line counting value, the current page information is deleted (step 428).

Subsequently, if the page exists with reference to the buffer managing the file information, the process feeds back to the process 414 again.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the RTI is printed while receiving and printing a plurality of originals, and when each of the originals is to be divided and printed, the user can be divided by accurately classifying the received data order. You can easily organize the data received during emptying.
