Abstract

PURPOSE:To obviate the preparation of source information for every transmission and to prevent the omission of the source information in the reception recording paper of a receiver by adding the image data of the source information, for which editing processing is executed according to the dimension of the recording paper of the receiver, to picture data and executing transmission processing. CONSTITUTION:A scanner part 1 is controlled by a terminal control part 7 and reads an original, a first memory 2 stores the picture data, and a second memory 4 previously prepares the image data of the source information in an A4 size using a character generator 3 and stores the image data. Further, when the sizes of the recording papers of the other party receiver are A5 and A6 sizes, the control part 7 executes the editing processing for the image data of the source information in the memory 4 so that the image data can be printed and recorded in the width of the A5 and A6 sizes and synthesizes the edited image data with the picture data in the memory 2. Next, a CODEC 5 compression-encodes the picture data and the edited image data in the memory 2 based on a CCITT advice T4 and outputs the picture data and the image data, and a communication control part 6 transmits the picture data and the image data according to a prescribed procedure. Thus, the preparation of the source information for every transmission can be obviated, and the omission of the source information in the reception side recording paper can be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine that corresponds to a document and adds sender information to send the facsimile machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional facsimile machines, when adding sender information such as the sender's name and the number of pages of the sent document, generate image data of the sender information to be combined with the image data of the document read by a scanner each time it is sent. This is done by the operator using operational input.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-described conventional facsimile apparatus has the disadvantage that the operator generates image data of sender information each time a document is sent, and therefore time is wasted as the same data is generated each time. In addition, the dimensions of manuscripts and recording paper widely used in -m are A4, 84 size,
There is also the problem that part of the source information generated in accordance with this size may be missing if the recording paper of the other party's receiver is A5 or A6 size.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile device of the present invention includes a scanner unit that reads a document to be transmitted and outputs image data, a first memory that stores the image data, and a character generator that generates image data of sender information to be added to the document. , a second memory for storing the image data; a communication control section for performing a facsimile communication control procedure; and a second memory for performing an editing process corresponding to the recording paper size of the receiver notified during the communication control procedure. and a terminal control unit that adds the image data from the memory to the image data from the first memory, compresses and encodes the data, and transmits the compressed data.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The scanner unit 1 outputs image data read from a document. The first memory 2 stores image data output from the scanner section 1. The character generator 6 generates image data of sender information to be added to the manuscript and transmitted.

The second memory 4 stores image data of source information generated by the character generator 3. The codec 5 performs encoding and decoding processing of image data.

The communication control unit 6 transmits and receives facsimile communication procedure signals and image data. The terminal control section 7 controls the scanner section 1, the first memory 2, the character generator 3, the second memory 4, the codec 5, and the communication control section 6.

Next, referring to FIG. 1 and the flowchart of FIG. 2 for explaining the operation of this embodiment, in step S1, the scanner section 1 reads a document under the control of the terminal control section 7, and
The first memory 2 stores the image data read by the scanner unit 1, and the second memory 4 uses the character generator 3 in advance to store the image data of the sender information in A4 format.
Generate and store the size.

Step S2. In S3, under the control of the terminal control unit 7, if the recording paper size of the destination receiver is A5 or A6 size,
The image data of the sender information stored in the second memory 4 is edited so as to be printed and recorded in A5 and A6 size widths, and in step S4, the image data stored in the first memory 2 is edited. Synthesize with

In step S5, the codec 5 is stored in the first memory 2.
The image data stored in the codec 5 and the edited image data are compressed and encoded based on CCITT recommendation T4 and output, and the communication control section 6 transmits the encoded data from the codec 5 based on the facsimile communication control procedure.

On the receiving side, the received image data is recorded and output in the reverse procedure as described above, but the sender information is recorded and output as edited on the transmitting side.

An example of adding sender information to A4 size and A5 size manuscripts in this way is explained with reference to Figures 3(a) and (b).
Sender name 11, sending month 812, sending time 13, and page number 1
If the document is A4 size, the sender information in step 4 is as shown in Figure 3 (
As shown in a), all information in items 11 to 14 is printed and recorded.

Further, when the document is A5 size, only the sender name 11 and transmission time 13 of the sender information are printed and recorded as shown in FIG. 3(b).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention enables the operator to create source information each time transmission is performed by selecting and adding items of source information stored in advance according to the size of the document to be transmitted. can be omitted. Further, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent the sender information from being omitted on the recording paper printed by the receiver of the other party.
