Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent part of a received picture from being erased and received picture information from being reduced by recording received picture information on one side of recording paper, and recording additional information on the other side of the said recording paper. CONSTITUTION:A front printer section 3 receives a paper feed instruction from an I/O control section 2 to apply paper feed and a printer section 3 receiving a picture data from a communication control section and the I/O control section 2 records a picture on the front side of the recording paper. After it is finished, the recording paper is discharged from the printer section 3 and the paper is supplied to a rear side printer section 4. Then the presence of additional information is judged, and when the additional information to be recorded exists, the additional information is received from the control section 2 by the printer section 4 and the paper is supplied from the printer section 4 while being recorded on the rear side of the recording paper. When no additional information exists, the paper is discharged from the printer section 4. Thus, the missing of received picture is prevented. Since the additional information is recorded on the rear side of the recording paper, the quantity of additional information is increased more than conventional system.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a facsimile device.

[Prior Art] A conventional facsimile machine records received image information on one side of recording paper.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional device described above, when standard paper (cut sheet) is used as recording paper for facsimile, the amount of image information received covers the entire standard paper (see Fig. 3). (
1)), additional information called header (reception time,
If information such as destination information is recorded, as shown in FIG. 3(2), it will be recorded on top of the received image, causing a problem in that part of the received image will be erased.

On the other hand, if you try to add a header without deleting the image information,
As shown in FIG. 3(3), the received image information is reduced to a predetermined size, and a header is recorded in the space vacated by this reduction. Therefore, in this case, the received image information is
There is a problem that the information is not the same as the sender's information. Additionally, additional information is added to the beginning of a document received by facsimile. Therefore, when the document received by facsimile is sent again, the additional information will be added twice to the document information.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, received image information is recorded on one side of recording paper, and additional information is recorded on the other side of the recording paper.

[Operations not yet invented] Since the received image information is recorded on one side of the recording paper and the additional information is recorded on the other side of the recording paper,
A part of the received image will not be erased, and the received image information will not be reduced unless it is reduced for some other reason.

[Example] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, there is a reading section 1 that reads a document, a communication control section, an I10 control section 2, a front side printer section 3 that records the front side of the recording paper, and a front side printer section 3 that records the back side of the recording paper. A back printer section 4, a standard paper cassette 5, and a sorter 6 are provided. The I10 control section is a section that controls the reading section 11, the front side printer section 3, the back side printer section 4, and the sorter 6.

The communication control unit and the I10 control unit 2 are an example of means for recording received image information on one side of recording paper and recording additional information on the other side of the recording paper.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the facsimile machine from the time of reception and start to the end of recording in the above embodiment.

First, the front side printer section 3 receives a paper feeding command from the I10 control section 2, feeds paper (SL), and then the communication control section and I10
The front side printer unit 3 receives image data from the control unit 2 and records it on the front side of the recording paper (S2). After this front side recording is completed, the front side printer unit 3 ejects the recording paper. Paper feed S3), feed paper to the back side printer section 4 (
S4).

Then, the presence or absence of additional information is determined (35), and if there is additional information to be recorded, the back side printer section 4 receives the additional information from the communication control section and the I10 control section 2, and records it on the back side of the recording paper ( S6). Then, the printer section 4 for the back side
The paper is ejected from there (S7).

If there is no additional information in S5, the paper is ejected from the back printer section 4 as is. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the received image from being missing as shown in FIG. 3(2). Furthermore, since the additional information is recorded on the back side of the recording paper, the amount of additional information can be increased compared to the conventional method.

Note that the additional information in conventional devices is the received data (
(time, destination, number of sheets sent, etc.), but additional information created on the receiving side can also be recorded. For example, in addition to recording the time on the sending side as additional information, which has been done in the past, it is also possible to record the time on the receiving side, which is convenient when communicating with overseas countries.

Furthermore, in the conventional apparatus, an additional page of recording paper is provided in addition to the received original, and additional information (reception result recording) is recorded on this recording paper. However, in the above embodiment,
Since additional information is recorded on the back side, it also saves recording paper.

In the above embodiment, the received image information is recorded on the front side and the additional information is recorded on the back side, but the recording side may be reversed. In other words, the received image information is recorded on one side of the recording paper, and the received image information is recorded on the other side of the recording paper.
Additional information may be recorded.

In addition, in the above embodiment, two printers, the front side printer section 3 and the back side printer section 4, are used, but if a printer capable of double-sided printing is used, one printer can be used instead of the two printers mentioned above. All you need to do is use your printer.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, when a received image is recorded on recording paper together with additional information, a part of the received image is not erased, and unless it is reduced due to other reasons, the received image is not erased. The received image information will not be reduced.
