Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an operator to easily recognize the fault contents of a reception side device by deciding automatically the fault contents of the reception side device via a transmission side device and displaying these fault contents on a display device. CONSTITUTION:A transmission side device 11 is prepared to transmit the information on an original together with a reception side device 12 which receives and records the information on the original sent from the device 11, and a display device 3 which displays the fault contents of the device 12. In case a fault occurs during the communication, the device 11 decides a fault code contained in the information (g) and the device 3 displays automatically the fault contents of the device 12. As a result, an operator can easily recognize the fault contents of the device 12.

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 displays failure details.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an example of a conventional facsimile device. It is composed of a transmitting device 14 that transmits manuscript information, and a receiving device 15 that receives and records the manuscript information, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the transmitting device 14 and the receiving device 15 are in communication. If there is a recording paper jam, no recording paper, or a procedural error, in any case, the receiving device 15
A PIN signal O is sent from the transmitting device 14', and the PIN signal O
Since the N signal 0 is simply response information and does not include a fault code, the sending device 14 only displays a communication abnormality, and the operator cannot easily recognize the details of the fault in the receiving device 15.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-described conventional facsimile apparatus has the disadvantage that the transmitting apparatus cannot specify and display the details of the failure in the receiving apparatus, and the operator cannot easily recognize the detailed failure contents of the receiving apparatus.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes a transmitting side device that transmits document information, a receiving side device that receives and records the document information,
a communication means for transmitting a fault code that can distinguish the details of a fault that has occurred in the receiving device to the sending device; and a display device of the sending device that analyzes the fault code from the receiving device and displays the details of the fault. have.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are a communication sequence diagram and a format diagram of fault information for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. configured and if a failure occurs during communication, the second
The steps shown in the figure are performed. During this procedure, the g information is
The fault code of the receiving device 12 is inserted into the 1-byte additional information shown in the figure, and the code is returned to the transmitting device 11. The transmitting device 11 determines the fault code in the g information and automatically displays the fault details of the receiving device 12 on the display device 3, so that the operator can easily recognize the fault details of the receiving device 12. can do.

In FIG. 2, the receiving device sends a digital identification signal (DIS), d a reception confirmation (CFR), and g a procedure interruption in the event of a failure (PIN), and the transmitting device 11 sends the DIS b digital command signal (DO3) for
and C's training check (TCP), and CF
Ending the procedure with e's manuscript information (PIX) for H (
If a PIN indicating a failure is sent during a communication sequence of 0 or more that sends out an EOP), a disconnection command of h (DCN) is sent.
) to recover the call.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the effect that the operator can easily recognize the fault contents of the receiving device by automatically determining the details of the fault in the receiving device by the transmitting device and displaying it on the display device. There is.
