Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for printing a document on both sides of which an image to be transmitted (hereinafter referred to as a double-sided document) into predetermined page types by performing local operations. The present invention relates to a facsimile device capable of transmitting data.

[Prior Art 1] Conventionally, in order to shorten communication time, facsimile machines equipped with an image memory for storing image data to be transmitted have been known (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60154770). ).

In this conventional facsimile machine, for example, after placing multiple sheets of originals on the document tray, the phone number of the other party's facsimile machine (hereinafter referred to as facsimile number) is displayed.
By inputting , and pressing the send key, the plurality of originals are sent one by one to the image reading unit, the image data of the images read by the image reading unit are stored in the image memory, and the documents are placed on the original tray. When there are no originals left and the images of all originals have been read, the line connection process with the other party's facsimile machine is performed, the image data is read from the image memory, and the read image data is transferred to the specified facsimile machine. The image data is converted and transmitted to the other party's facsimile machine via the telephone line, and the line is disconnected when all the image data stored in the image memory has been transmitted.

When transmitting image data of a double-sided document using this type of conventional facsimile device, first the image data of the front side of the double-sided document is transmitted, and then the image data of the back side of the double-sided document is transmitted. I will do it.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1] However, when transmitting the image data of a double-sided document as described above, the facsimile machine automatically transmits the image data of the front side of the double-sided document. Since the line is disconnected, when sending the image data of the back side of the double-sided document, it is necessary to perform a series of sending operations such as inputting the recipient's 7mm number and pressing the send key. There was a problem.

Also, *i-th front, back, 2nd front, back 1. , (the same applies hereinafter), when sending a double-sided document with pages added in the order of Since the image data is transmitted, there is a problem in that on the receiving side, it is necessary to rearrange the manuscript of the received image data into pages.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when a double-sided original with pages added in a predetermined order is placed on a document tray and sent in two parts, the above-mentioned series of sending operations are performed the second time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device that can transmit image data of the original document without using the original, and can also transmit image data using pages of the double-sided original.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] A facsimile device according to the present invention automatically sends a plurality of originals placed on a document loading table one by one to an image reading means, and converts the image of the original into the image reading unit. The read image is read by the reading means, converted into image data, and stored as an image memo.Then, the image data is read out from the image memory, converted into image data, and sent to the other party's facsimile machine via a communication line. A facsimile machine equipped with a transmission means for transmitting two copies of a double-sided document with pages added in a predetermined order, two for each side.
a designation means for specifying an operation mode for transmitting an image signal of the original by placing it on the original loading table in batches; an input means for inputting a telephone number of the other party's fax/millimeter device; detecting means for detecting that the double-sided original is placed on the 11c; and when the operation mode is specified by the specifying means, the T story number of the other party's 7ac 7mm device is input by the input means; When the detection means detects that the double-sided original is placed on the original loading table, the double-sided original is placed on the original loading table; an image of one side of the double-sided original is read and the read image is converted into image data. is converted into W and stored in the image memory, and then newly converted to W.
When the detection means detects that the double-sided document is placed on the document stacking table, an image of one side of the double-sided document placed on the document stacking table, which is different from the read one side, is read. After converting the read image into image data and storing it in the image memory, the image data stored in the image memory is read out in page order of the double-sided document, and the transmission means is controlled to send the read image data. and a control means for converting the image signal into an image signal and transmitting the image signal to the other party's 7-axis device.

E-action] With the above configuration, when the operation mode is designated by the designation means, the control means inputs the telephone number of the other party's 7A 7mm device by the input means, and When the detection means detects that the double-sided original is placed on the original loading table, an image of one side of the double-sided original placed on the original loading table is read and the read image is converted into image data. Then, when the detecting means detects that the double-sided original is newly placed on the original loading table, the double-sided original placed on the original loading table is stored in the image memory. After reading an image on one side different from the one side read above and converting the read image into image data and storing it in the image memory, the image data stored in the image memory is read out on both sides in the order of the pages of the manuscript. , controls the transmitting means to convert the read image data into an image signal, and transmits the image signal to the other party's 7ac/millimeter device.

Therefore, when a double-sided document with pages added in a predetermined order is placed on the document tray and sent in two batches, the image data of the document is sent the second time without performing the above series of sending operations. This makes it easier to send images of double-sided originals. Further, the images of the double-sided original can be transmitted in the order of the pages of the double-sided original.
