Is transmitted to the line 16 via. In this case, FIG.
As shown in the figure, when a document of A4 size is received, a center mark is recorded at a position of L / 2 of the sub-scanning length L (297 mm), and a recorded image when a document of B4 size is received. The center mark is recorded at the position of the sub-scanning length L / 2.

[0005]

This conventional facsimile machine has the following problems.

The first problem is that the transmitting side controls the display of a mark at the center left end of the length in the sub-scanning direction, so that the number of processing steps increases. The reason is that if the encoding of the read image data is not completed, the center in the sub-scanning direction cannot be detected, and in order to generate a signal for displaying a mark, decoding must be performed again.

The second problem is that when data that is larger than the effective reading width in the main scanning direction is received and filed, the left end is difficult to see. The reason is that there is no function for automatically reducing the binding margin and the image signal length of a preset paper size in order to provide a binding margin that allows filing.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to control the generation of a mark at the left end of the center in the length in the sub-scanning direction, and to reduce the binding margin when the image data in the main scanning direction is larger than the effective reading width. Provided is a facsimile apparatus which simplifies processing by performing control to automatically reduce and set a binding margin based on a ratio of a predetermined paper size to an image signal length on a receiving side, thereby simplifying processing and facilitating filing. It is in.

[0009]

According to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, first reception means for generating a mark at the left end of the center of the length of the sheet in the sub-scanning direction upon reception, and image data in the main scanning direction are transmitted. A second control unit for automatically reducing the size of the sheet by setting the image signal length of the paper size of the sheet and providing the binding margin when the binding margin is larger than the effective reading width.

[0010] A facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes a communication control unit for performing a communication protocol, a codec unit for encoding and decoding image data, a printer control unit having a printer interface, and receiving through the communication control unit;
The image data decoded by the codec section is counted in the sub-scanning direction of a paper size set in advance, and a signal for displaying a mark at the left end of the center of the length of the paper size in the sub-scanning direction is generated. A center mark setting unit and a reduction unit that automatically reduces the binding margin by comparing the binding margin and the image signal length of a preset paper size only when the image data in the main scanning direction is equal to or greater than the effective reading width, and provides the binding margin. A control unit.
