[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a conventional facsimile apparatus, information such as a destination, polling, broadcasting, and the number of originals input at the time of transmission remains in the transmitted facsimile apparatus, but is not recorded on the original. The transmission completion information is also recorded on the manuscript with a completed stamp or the like, but the reuse of that information has had to rely on humans.
[0006]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus that can easily and effectively utilize information such as a destination, polling, broadcasting, and the number of documents.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 is a facsimile apparatus having a mechanism for moving a document, wherein various information including a destination, polling, broadcasting and the number of documents input at the time of transmission is transmitted to the document. The main feature of the facsimile apparatus is a two-dimensional barcode printing device that records a two-dimensional barcode on a header section and a scanner that reads a document on which the two-dimensional barcode is printed.
[0008]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in a facsimile apparatus having a mechanism for moving an original, various information including a destination, polling, broadcasting, the number of originals, and transmission completion input at the time of transmission are two-dimensionally written in a footer portion of the original. The main feature of the facsimile apparatus is a two-dimensional bar code printing device that records a bar code, and a scanner that reads a document on which the two-dimensional bar code is printed.
[0009]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the facsimile apparatus according to the first or second aspect, a plurality of two-dimensional bar codes can be recorded on a header portion or a footer portion of the original, and information different from the previous one is recorded on the same original. The device is the main feature.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a facsimile apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of a document in which various information at the time of transmission in the facsimile apparatus of FIG.
[0011]
The facsimile apparatus includes an ADF 1, a two-dimensional barcode printing device 2, and a scanner 3. The original 11 set on the ADF 1 is fed after the operator inputs various information (transmission destination, polling, broadcasting, the number of originals, etc.) at the time of transmission, and the header reaches the two-dimensional barcode printing device 2. At this point, various information at the time of transmission is recorded as a two-dimensional barcode 12 on the original 11, and then facsimile transmission is performed.
[0012]
When transmitting the same original again, the two-dimensional barcode 12 recorded in the original header is read by the scanner 3, and retransmission of the facsimile, registration of the destination to the facsimile apparatus, and the like are performed. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 13 indicates a document passing direction.
[0013]
FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of a facsimile apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a view showing an example of a document in which various information at the time of transmission in the facsimile apparatus of FIG.
[0014]
The facsimile apparatus includes an ADF 1, a two-dimensional barcode printing device 2, and a scanner 3. Here, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the two-dimensional barcode printing device 2 is disposed on the paper feed unit side, but in the second embodiment shown in FIG. Are located in
[0015]
The original 11 set in the ADF 1 is transmitted by facsimile after the operator inputs various information (transmission destination, polling, broadcasting, the number of originals, etc.) at the time of transmission, and the footer reaches the two-dimensional barcode printing device 2. At this point, various information at the time of transmission and transmission completion information are recorded on the document 11 as a two-dimensional barcode 12.
[0016]
When transmitting the same original again, the two-dimensional barcode 12 recorded in the original footer is read by the scanner 3, and retransmission of the facsimile of only the unreachable original, registration of the destination to the facsimile machine, and the like are performed.
[0017]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a document in which various information at the time of transmission is recorded in a header portion. When the original 11 is transmitted for the first time, the two-dimensional barcode 12-1 is recorded on the original 11, and when the same original is transmitted to a different destination, the two-dimensional barcode 12-2 is recorded on the original 11, and the same When the original is transmitted to a different destination, the two-dimensional barcode 12 is sequentially recorded, such as recording the two-dimensional barcode 12-3 on the original 11.
[0018]
The same original is read by the scanner 3 and the two-dimensional barcodes 12-1 to 12-3 recorded in the original header are selected to retransmit the facsimile, register the destination in the facsimile apparatus, and re-transmit only the undelivered original. Perform transmission, etc. The same applies to a document in which various information at the time of transmission is recorded in the footer section.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
The facsimile apparatus according to claim 1 uses a two-dimensional bar code printing device provided in a scanner to convert information input at the time of transmission, such as a destination, polling, broadcasting, and the number of documents, into a two-dimensional bar code in a header portion of the document. Since the data is recorded, the same document is read by the scanner, so that the facsimile can be easily retransmitted and the destination registered in the facsimile apparatus based on the data recorded in the header portion.
[0020]
The facsimile apparatus according to claim 2 records information such as a destination, polling, broadcasting, the number of originals and transmission completion input at the time of transmission as a two-dimensional barcode in a footer of the original using a printing device provided in the scanner. Since the same document is read by a scanner, retransmission of facsimile, registration of a destination to the facsimile machine, retransmission of only non-delivery documents, etc. can be easily performed based on the data recorded in the footer section. .
[0021]
A facsimile apparatus according to a third aspect is the facsimile apparatus according to the first or second aspect, wherein a plurality of two-dimensional barcodes can be recorded in a header portion or a footer portion of an original, and information different from the previous one is recorded in the same original. Therefore, it becomes possible to select necessary data from recorded data by reading with a scanner.
