Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus for pressing a transmitted stamp on a transmitted document.

2. Description of the Related Art In a facsimile apparatus of this type, an example of a stamp to be pressed on a document whose transmission has been completed is shown in FIG. That is, in this example, a stamp with a circle is pressed at the end of the front surface of the transmitted document to indicate that the document has been transmitted.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-described conventional technology, after the transmission is completed, the operator on the transmission side checks whether all the originals have been stamped in order to confirm that all the originals have been transmitted reliably. It is necessary to check whether or not it is necessary, and there is a disadvantage that the work is troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of confirming that all originals have been transmitted without checking stamps of all originals as described above.

The present invention provides a reading unit that reads a plurality of pages of a document, a counting unit that counts the number of pages of the read document, a recording unit that records the counted number of pages on the read document, and a recording unit that records the document by the recording unit. Selecting means for selecting whether or not to execute by an operator's manual operation, determining means for determining the last page of the document, and performing recording by the recording means in accordance with the selection by the selecting means and the determination result Is selected, if the document is the last page, the number of pages counted by the counting means is recorded by the recording means on the document of the last page. If the document is not the last page, the counting means Control means for controlling not to record the number of pages counted by the recording means, That.

[Operation] In the present invention, the operator selects whether or not to record the number of pages on the read document, and executes the recording of the number of pages according to the selection and the determination result as to whether or not the last page. If it is determined that the original is the last page of the original, the number of pages of the transmitted original counted to the last page of the original is recorded. Do not record the number of pages of a completed manuscript.

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

In FIG. 1, a control unit 2 controls the entire facsimile apparatus, and encodes image data from a reading unit described later at the time of transmission, transmits the image data via the modem 4 and the NCU 6, and receives the code at the time of reception. The decoding device converts the encoded data into image data, outputs the image data to a recording unit 8 having a thermal head or the like, and performs control to reproduce the image data.

The control unit 2 includes a CPU that outputs various control signals according to a predetermined control program, a ROM that stores a control program and various data of the CPU, a RAM that temporarily stores various data as a work area of the CPU, and the like. Have.

The modem 4 is a modem of CCITT recommendation V21 used for procedure operation and CCITT recommendation V27ter or V29 used for image transmission.

The NCU 6 is a network control unit (Network Control Unit) for selectively switching the line between the facsimile machine and the telephone.

The recording unit 8 decodes the received data and records the data sequentially line by line.

The operation display unit 10 includes an operation unit including various function instruction keys for starting transmission and the like, a telephone number input key, and a selection key for selecting whether to select the stamp mode according to the present invention, and the like. And a display unit for displaying various functions and the state of the apparatus.

The motor driver 12 drives the original conveying motor at the time of reading, rotates the original conveying motors 14a and 14b by a predetermined amount in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 2, and feeds the originals 24 and 26.

The sensor 16 is a document presence / absence sensor that detects whether or not the documents 24 and 26 are set on the document table.

The sensor 18 detects that the leading edge or the trailing edge of the document has passed the position of the sensor 18 by detecting the presence or absence of the documents 24 and 26. Then, in this facsimile apparatus, after the leading ends of the originals 24 and 26 have passed the position of the sensor 18, the reading of the originals 124 and 26 is started at a point when the feed is slightly longer than the interval between the CCD 20 and the sensor 18. After the rear ends of the originals 24 and 26 have passed the position of the sensor 18, the reading operation is performed until the document is fed by a distance slightly shorter than the interval between the CCD 20 and the sensor 18.

The CCD 20 sequentially reads an image signal of one line in the main scanning direction from a transmitted or copied document, and outputs an example of a signal representing a black and white binary value to the control unit 2.

The stamp device 22 presses a stamp on the transmitted originals 24 and 26. When the control unit 2 outputs a stamp pressing pulse SP, the stamp device 22 presses the transmitted stamp on the originals 24 and 26. At this time, when the page data PD output from the control unit 2 is a numerical value other than “0”, this numerical value is also output.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a transmission operation in the facsimile apparatus of the present embodiment.

First, the control unit 2 outputs page data “0” as the number of transmitted pages (S32), and sets “0” to a transmitted number counter provided in the control unit 2 (S3).
Four). Next, when facsimile transmission is selected (S36),
The pre-procedure is performed (S40), the originals are sequentially fed, and reading, encoding, and transmission are performed for each line (S42). When the transmission of one page is completed (S44), the operation unit 10
In step S46, it is determined whether the mode for pressing the transmitted stamp is selected (S46). If the transmitted stamp pressing mode is selected, the value of the transmitted sheet counter is incremented by one ( S50), if there is a next original (S52), the stamp stamp pressing pulse S
P is output and the transmitted stamp is pressed (S54). Also,
If there is no next original in S54 (S56), the value of the transmitted number counter is output as page data PD (S56), and the stamp of the number of transmitted images is pressed together with the transmitted stamp by the stamp pressing pulse SP (S58).

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a specific example of a document stamped with the number of transmissions by such processing.

After the stamp is pressed in this way, a post-procedure is performed (S60), and the process ends.

If the transmitted stamp pressing mode is not selected in S46, each original is transmitted without pressing the stamp as described above.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a transmission operation in the second embodiment of the present invention.

Note that, in FIG. 4, S32 to steps S50 and S60 are
It is the same as FIG. 2 and the description is omitted.

In the second embodiment, the transmitted stamp is all included in the transmitted stamp.

That is, in FIG. 4, in S50, after the counter value of the transmitted number is incremented, this value is output as the transmitted number (S70), and the transmitted number is stamped together with the transmitted stamp (S72).

If there is a next original (S74), the same process is repeated, and after all originals have been transmitted, the post-procedure is executed (S6).
0), and the process ends.

Further, in the above embodiment, the stamp is pressed when the document is transmitted, but the stamp may be pressed when the document storage is completed. Again, in this case,
The number of stored documents can be pressed.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the operator selects whether or not to record the number of pages on a read original, and according to the selection and the determination result of whether or not it is the last page, When the recording of the number of pages is selected, if the original is the last page, the number of transmitted originals counted as the last page of the original is recorded. For example, the recording unit is controlled so as not to record the counted number of transmitted original pages.

For this reason, the total number of pages of the transmitted document is recorded on the last page of the document according to the operation of the operator.
For example, there is an effect that the operator can easily know that there is a page that has not been transmitted without seeing the stamps of all the pages by checking the actual number of documents.

Also, compared to a device that automatically records the number of transmitted pages, when the operator does not want to contaminate the document at all, he can select not to record the number of pages, and without recording the number of pages of the read document. This has the effect of ending.

Furthermore, compared to an apparatus that records the number of transmitted pages on all pages, even when recording the number of pages of a document that has been read, the number of pages that have not been read is not recorded on the page that is not the last page, and the original is contaminated. There is an effect that it can be prevented.
