Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile device that manages unsent documents by marking a serial number on a document and reading the serial number.

Conventionally, facsimile machines have used a method of stamping a sent stamp on a document to confirm whether the document has been sent, but this is undesirable because an unnecessary stamp is placed on the document.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks in conventional facsimile devices. In the first invention of the present application, the document serial number detecting means detects the serial number of each transmitted document, and the continuity of the transmitted document is determined based on the output of the document serial number detecting means, and omissions are determined. a document continuity determination means for identifying the serial number of the corresponding unsent document when the document is sent;
and storage means for storing serial numbers of unsent manuscripts,
When the document continuity determining means determines that the transmitted documents are discontinuous, the serial number of the corresponding unsent document is stored in the storage means, and after the communication is completed, the serial number of the unsent document is read from the storage means. Furthermore, in the second invention of the present application, the first invention of the present application is achieved.
In addition to the invention, there is provided a transmission success determination means for determining transmission success or failure for each transmitted document based on a notification from the receiving side and detecting an unsent document, and when the transmission success determination means determines transmission failure. This can also be accomplished by storing the serial number of the corresponding unsent document in the storage means and reading out the stored serial number after communication is completed.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention.

In Figure 1, document 1 marked with a serial number
The light is emitted from the light source 2 and received by the light receiving section 3, the marking is read by the marking reading section 4, and is stored in the sending address and serial number temporary storage section 5 until the end of one page transmission. At the start of communication, the previous page serial number storage section 7 is set to an initial state. Then, the contents of the temporary serial number storage section 5 and the contents of the previous page serial number storage section 7 are compared in the number continuity determination section 6, and if they are the same, it is judged as OK and stored in the temporary serial number storage section 5 for determining the serial number of the next document. The current serial number is incremented by 1 with +1 copy 8 and stored in the previous page serial number storage section 7. If they are different, it is judged as NG as there is no continuity, the determination section 6 identifies which number is missing, and the missing serial number is stored in the unsent document serial number storage section 9. At the same time, the serial number is displayed on the display section 10, and an alarm generation section 11 notifies that there has been an overlapping feed. Even if the serial number is correct, if the transmission success determination section 12 determines that the transmission was unsuccessful due to a notification from the receiving side after the transmission is completed, the serial number stored in the temporary serial number storage section 5 will be used as the unsent document. It is stored in the serial number storage unit 9 and treated as if it had not been sent. After one communication is completed, the read control section 14 retrieves data from the unsent document serial number storage section 9 to confirm the unsent documents, displays the serial number on the display section 10, and sorts the unsent documents. Also, when there are a large number of sheets, it is not efficient to display them one by one, so in that case, the unsent serial numbers are written on the recording paper 15 via the writing section 13 of the own facsimile. You can also do this with another printer.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of another embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the invention, in which the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 represent the same contents.

In FIG. 2, the serial number marking on the document is identified by the marking reading unit 4, and the serial number temporary storage unit 5
Memorize the serial number. After the transmission of the manuscript is completed, the transmission success determination unit 12 receives a reception success notification from the receiving side.
When it is determined that the transmission has been successful, the serial number stored in the temporary serial number storage section 5 is written and stored in the successful transmission serial number storage section 17. Also, every page, every time communication ends, when more than a certain number is memorized, every certain time,
Alternatively, the serial number stored in the successful transmission serial number storage section 17 is written out on a recording paper by the printer 16 or the writing section 13 of the own facsimile by an external instruction or the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, while detecting the serial number of each document, it is determined whether the corresponding document has not been sent, and if the document has not been sent,
Store the serial number of the corresponding unsent manuscript in the storage means,
By reading out the stored serial number after the end of communication, unsent documents can be reliably managed without unnecessary stamping on the documents.
