BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine capable of memory transmission, and more particularly to an image input section for sequentially inputting images for transmission, transmission of input images, etc., and images transmitted through a line. The present invention relates to a receiving recording paper ejection order control method for a facsimile machine, which has a transmitting/receiving section that receives images such as the above, and an image storage section that accumulates images inputted by the input section, and transmits the accumulated images in the order in which they are read.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a facsimile machine as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, this device includes an image input section 3 that sequentially inputs images for transmission, a transmitting/receiving section 2 that transmits input images, etc., and receives images, etc. transmitted through a line, and It has an image storage section 1 that stores images inputted by an input section 3. In conventional facsimile machines, transmission is performed from the first page of the document stored in the image storage section 1, regardless of the ejection order (forward order or reverse order) of the received recording sheets of the other party's device. Alternatively, when reading a document using the image input section 3, the pages are read from the opposite direction.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, when the other party's facsimile machine is a device that ejects received recording sheets in the reverse order of the reception order, the received recording sheets are stacked in reverse order. There was a problem in which recipients were sorted in page order. In particular, when there are a large number of pages, it takes a lot of effort to rearrange the pages, resulting in a problem that the efficiency of using the facsimile machine is low.

Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to manually, semi-automatically, or automatically control whether to send the document stored in the memory from the first page or the last page according to the ejection order of the received recording sheets of the destination device. The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for controlling the order of receiving records in a facsimile machine, which can ensure that the documents are received in the correct order, and is highly efficient.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the first invention, as shown in FIG. It has a transmitting/receiving section 2 that transmits and receives images, etc. transmitted through a line, and an image storage section 1 that stores images inputted by the input section 3, and reads out the stored images.
By specifying, on the sending facsimile machine, the ejection order of the received recording paper of the destination facsimile machine,
It has a readout order instruction section 4 that instructs the readout order of images in an order corresponding to the ejection order.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the second invention includes an image input section 3 for inputting images for transmission, and for transmitting input images, etc., and receiving images, etc. transmitted through a line. In a facsimile machine that has a transmitter/receiver unit 2 and an image storage unit 1 that stores images inputted by the input unit 3, and reads out and transmits the stored images, it is possible to eject the receiving recording paper of the destination facsimile machine. It has a readout order registration unit 14 that stores data for instructing to read images in a corresponding order, and outputs data for instructing the corresponding readout when specified by the other party.

Furthermore, the third invention is as shown in FIG.
An image input unit 3 that inputs images for transmission; a transmitting/receiving unit 2 that transmits input images, and receives images transmitted through a line; and stores images input by the input unit 3. A facsimile device having an image storage unit 1 and reading out and transmitting stored images decodes data that is received from a destination facsimile device through a line and represents the ejection order of received recording sheets of the destination facsimile device. The apparatus includes a reading order decoding unit 24 that instructs to read images in an order corresponding to the ejection order.

[0008]

[Operation] To perform transmission, the image input section 3 inputs the image to be transmitted to the facsimile machine. Images are stored in the image storage section 1. At this time, in the first invention, the ejection order of the receiving recording paper of the destination facsimile machine to which the image is to be transmitted is specified to the reading order instruction section 4. For example, if the recording sheets are arranged in the order in which they were received by the recipient's facsimile machine, the sending side may instruct the sending side to read the images from the image storage unit 1 so as to send the images from the first page. become. On the other hand, if the received recording sheets are arranged in the opposite direction to the order in which they were received by the other party's device, the sending side may specify that the images be read from the image storage section 1 so as to be sent from the last page. Become. In this way, the image storage unit 1 is
The image read out from the transmitting/receiving section 2 is transmitted to the other party's device via a line, and is ejected as a receiving recording paper.

In addition, in the second invention, as shown in FIG. 2, a reading order registration section 14 is provided in place of the reading order instruction section 4 of the first invention. There is no need to specify the order in which the recipient's received recording paper is ejected.
By registering in advance, the recipient is specified and the reading order corresponding to the ejection order is semi-automatically instructed.

Furthermore, the third invention is as shown in FIG.
Data representing the ejection order of received recording sheets of the destination facsimile machine is received by communication through a line, and the reading order decoding section 24 is provided to decode the data and store the images in an order corresponding to the ejection order. The unit 1 issues an instruction to read out the image.

[0011]

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 shows an overall block diagram of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, this facsimile device includes a facsimile device 10.
a main control unit 44 that performs various controls related to the transmission, a reading unit 43 as an image input unit 3 that inputs images for transmission,
A communication control unit 42 as a transmitting/receiving unit 2 transmits input images, etc. and receives images transmitted through a line, and the reading unit 43 stores images in the order they are read, and also stores images in a specified order. An image memory unit 41 as an image storage unit 1 that reads out images, and an image memory unit 41 that serves as an image storage unit 1 that reads out images, and an image memory unit 41 that reads out images in an order that corresponds to the order in which recording sheets received by the recipient's facsimile machine are ejected. It has an operation panel 45 for issuing various instructions or various specifications, and a recording section 46 for recording received images. Further, reference numeral 50 represents a facsimile machine of the other party.

Next, a first embodiment will be explained. The first embodiment corresponds to claim 1, and is a readout method in which, by specifying the ejection order of received recording sheets of a destination facsimile machine, the image reading order is instructed in accordance with the ejection order. It has an operation panel 45 as the order instruction section 4 and a main control section 44. FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of the operation according to this embodiment. In step SJ1, the telephone number of the other party to whom the image is to be sent is input using the operation panel 45. Step S
At J2, the reception record ejection order of the other party's device is specified using the operation panel 45 as the readout order instruction section 4. Here, the ejection order includes a normal order in which the recording sheets are arranged in the order in which they were received by the other party's machine, and a reverse order in which the recording papers are arranged in the reverse order of the order in which they were received. In step SJ3, the image memory section 4
1, the reading section 43 serving as the image input section 3 reads the original according to an instruction from the operator from the operation panel 45, and the read image is stored in the image memory section 4.
1 and stored sequentially. In step SJ4, the communication control unit 42 dials the destination and sends a calling signal to the facsimile machine of the destination. When a response signal is received from the other party's facsimile device 50, a training signal is transmitted, etc., and then transmission is started in the forward or reverse order specified on the operation panel 45 in step SJ5. That is, if the forward order is specified, the process proceeds to step SJ6 and transmission starts from the first page, and if the reverse order is specified, the process proceeds to step SJ7 and the transmission of the last page is started. Transmission will continue until all images are completed in step SJ8.

Next, a second embodiment will be explained. This example differs from the first example in that, as shown in FIG. 2, instead of the reading order instruction unit 4, data is used to instruct the reading of images in an order corresponding to the ejection order of received recording sheets of the destination facsimile machine. A readout order registration unit 14 is provided for storing data and outputting data for instructing a corresponding readout when a destination is specified. The reading order registration section 1
Reference numeral 4 corresponds to the one-touch keys and main control section 44 of the operation panel 45 shown in FIG. The registration procedure of this example is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, step S
At J10, the destination name is registered in advance in the main control section 44 together with the destination name and telephone number in correspondence with one-touch keys or the like on the operation panel 45 as the reading order registration section 14. At this time, in step SJ11, the user selects and inputs whether the recipient's receiving recording paper should be ejected in forward or reverse order. The processing procedure in FIG. 7 will be explained. In step SJ21, the other party is designated by one-touch dialing. The subsequent control is the same as in the first embodiment, as shown in the figure.

Next, a third embodiment will be explained. This example differs from the first and second examples in that a reading order decoding section 24 is provided as shown in FIG. The readout order decoding unit 24 decodes the data received from the destination facsimile machine through the line, indicating the ejection order of the received recording sheets of the destination facsimile device, and instructs to read the images in an order corresponding to the ejection order. The main control unit 44 in FIG. 4 corresponds to this. FIG. 8 shows a processing flowchart of this example. In step SJ31, the operation panel 45 is used to specify the destination. Step S
At J32, the reading section 43 inputs an image for transmission. The read image is stored and accumulated in the image memory section 41. Thereafter, in step SJ33, the communication control unit 42 makes a dial call to the destination facsimile machine and transmits a calling signal, and in step SJ3
At step 4, the facsimile communication procedure is processed. During this procedure, it is exchanged whether the other party's receiving records should be ejected in forward or reverse order. The main control unit 44 as the reading order decoding unit 24 monitors this communication procedure,
If the other machine is a device that ejects in the normal order, step SJ3
Proceeding to step 6, the images in the image memory section 41 are transmitted as they are from the first page. On the other hand, if the other device is a device that ejects in reverse order, the process advances to step SJ37, and the image memory section 41
By reading from the last page, transmission will be performed from the last page. FIG. 9 shows a communication procedure according to this embodiment. As shown in the figure, after transmitting a paging signal from the transmitting side to the other party's machine, the other party's machine sends back a CED signal to the transmitting side, and also sends NSF, CSI, etc.
, the DIS signal will be sent back. At this time, the ejection order of the recording paper received by the other party's device is included in the NSF signal and transmitted. Here, the NSF signal is a non-standard facility identification signal (non-standard facility identification signal).
CCITT Recommendation T.s). This is a control signal that indicates a specific request that exceeds the scope of recommendations in the T series in the transmission control procedure of 30, and as shown in Figure 10.
The SF signal is at least a 2-byte FIF (Facsi
It has a mile information field, and the first byte contains an identification code and the second byte contains a supplier code, and the above-mentioned ejection order of receiving recording sheets of the other machine is stored in the F area of the NSF signal. become. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, the transmitting side transmits NSS and TSI signals indicating the capabilities of the transmitting side to the other party. Further, the transmitting side transmits the training signal TCF, and the other device outputs the CFR which is the result of receiving the training signal. After that, the transmitted image (P
IX) will be sent from the sending side.

[0015]

As described above, in the present invention, images are read out from the image storage unit and transmitted in an order corresponding to the ejection order of received recording sheets of the destination facsimile machine. Therefore, the receiving machine can receive the received recording sheets starting from the first page in the order in which the receiving recording sheets of the device are ejected, which saves the trouble of rearranging the received recording sheets and makes the use of the facsimile machine more efficient. It works well and is convenient.
