Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the time and labor of a user required for production of an invoice by registering previously the information necessary for the invoice to automatically produce the invoice and by transmitting this invoice together with its original. CONSTITUTION:When an original is set and the opposite party station is designated by a user, a selector 1 of the opposite party station produces an opposite party station selection signal based on the designation signal of the opposite party station. Then the produced selection signal is sent to a storage device 2 storing the opposite party station name and a storage device 3 storing the opposite party station circuit connection number respectively. The storage 2 sends the selected opposite party station name data to an invoice producer 7, and the storage device 3 sends the selected opposite party station circuit connection number data to the producer 7. Furthermore the producer 7 acquires its own station name data, its own station circuit connection number data, the data, etc., and produces the invoice data consisting of the character codes, etc., to send them to a transmitting part 8 and a recording part 9. Therefore the station names, the station numbers, the data/time read out of a calender controller 6, etc., are transmitted as the necessary information for the invoice together with the original.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings showing its embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part relating to preparation of a delivery note in the facsimile apparatus of the present invention.

The partner station selector 1 inputs a partner station designation signal from a not-shown one-touch key or the like, generates a partner station selection signal (a read address to a storage device described later) based on this designation signal, and The generated partner station selection signal is output to the partner station name storage unit 2 and the partner station line connection number storage unit 3.

The partner station name storage unit 2 stores partner station name data. This partner station name data is stored by the user performing a predetermined operation in the partner registration mode.

The partner station line connection number memory 3 stores the partner station line connection number data. This data is input by the user at the same time as registering the partner station name in the partner registration mode, and is stored at a predetermined address in association with the partner station name.

The local station name memory 4 stores the local station name data,
The own station line connection number storage unit 5 stores own station line connection number data. The above two data are stored in association with each other by the same operation in the above registration mode.

The calendar manager 6 has a clock function and the like inside, and generates and outputs data such as date, time and day of the week.

The sending sheet creator 7 is composed of the above-mentioned storage devices 2 to 2.
5, the partner station name data, partner station line connection number data, own station name data, own station line connection number data, date information, etc., output from the calendar manager 6 and composed of character codes and sent. Create call data. Then, the transmission data is output to the transmission unit 8 and the recording unit 9. The fixed-sentence data of the delivery note may be stored in the memory, and this data may also be combined into the delivery note data.

The transmission unit 8 transmits the transmission data including the above character code to the partner station via the telephone line 10.

The recording unit 9 converts the above-mentioned delivery note data consisting of the above character code into dot data, and drives image forming means such as a thermal head or an electrophotographic image forming section based on this dot data to send out the delivery note. To create.

Next, the operation of the facsimile machine will be described. First, the user sets the transmission document on the platen (not shown), and the one-touch key with the name of the recipient
Alternatively, when the partner station is designated by operating the shortening key or the like, the partner station designation signal is output to the partner station selector 1 by this key operation. The partner station selector 1 generates a partner station selection signal corresponding to the specified signal and outputs it to the partner station name storage device 2 and the partner station line connection number storage device 3.

The partner station name storage unit 2 outputs the partner station name data selected by the above selection signal to the delivery note creator 7.
In addition, the partner station line connection number storage device 3 outputs the partner station line connection number data selected by the selection signal to the delivery note creator 7. The line connection number read from the line connection number storage device 3 of the partner station is simultaneously output to an autodialer (not shown) to start the calling operation.

The sending sheet creator 7 further includes station name data,
The local station line connection number data, date data, etc. are obtained to create transmission note data consisting of character codes, and the transmission unit 8
