Abstract

PURPOSE:To print receiving data with an optimum method by properly selecting an action mode when a paper shortage is generated. CONSTITUTION:When the paper of a selective cassette runs short in the course of printing, a prescribed paper shortage signal is outputted from a recording circuit 5 and inputted to a paper shortage signal detecting circuit 6. A prescribed paper shortage detecting signal is outputted from the paper shortage signal detecting circuit 6, and a cassette selecting circuit 4 is maintained in a condition as it is when an action parameter corresponding to the prescribed action mode at the time of the paper shortage is the action parameter corresponding to the action mode to stop a recording action until a receiving recording paper is supplied, from a recording action selecting parameter storing circuit 8 at the time of the paper shortage by a control circuit 7 corresponding to the input of the paper shortage detecting signal. When the action parameter read by the control circuit 7 is the action parameter corresponding to the action mode to select the cassette of the receiving recording paper of the other side, the receiving recording paper cassette of the other side is selected, and the printing is continued.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to facsimile devices.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when a facsimile machine runs out of receiving recording paper, the following method has been adopted.

The first method is to stop the recording operation until the received recording paper is replenished, and the second method is to select the other cassette of the received recording paper and continue the recording operation.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional facsimile machine described above, the first
In the case of the second method, a person who wants to receive received data quickly regardless of the size of the recording paper has the disadvantage of having to wait until the recording paper is replenished; has the disadvantage that the recorded sizes are different for those who do not record using the same size of recording paper.

[Means for solving problems]

A facsimile device of the present invention is a facsimile device capable of storing received data, and includes a cassette selection circuit that selects a cassette size of received recording paper according to the size of the received data, and a cassette selection circuit that selects a cassette size of a received recording paper based on the size of the received data. a cassette switching instruction circuit that outputs an instruction to select a receiving recording cassette; a recording circuit that records the received data on recording paper of a cassette size selected by the cassette selection circuit; and an output from the recording circuit when there is no paper. a paper-out signal detection circuit for detecting a paper-out signal; a paper-out recording operation selection parameter storage circuit for storing paper-out operation parameters; and a paper-out recording operation selection parameter storage circuit. A signal output from the operation parameter setting circuit for setting the operation parameters and the paper out signal detection circuit reads out the operation parameters stored in advance from the paper out recording operation selection parameter storage circuit. A control circuit that sends the switching signal to the cassette switching instructing circuit via the operating parameter and instructs and controls operations of the cassette selecting circuit and the recording circuit.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

When receiving from party 1 (not shown), line 10
The procedure signal sent from 1 is analyzed in the communication control circuit 2 via the modem 1, and received recording width information is obtained.Next, the received data is sent to the received data storage circuit 3 together with the received recording paper width information. Accumulated. When the storage is completed, the received recording paper width information is input to the cassette selection circuit 4, and the cassette size to be recorded is selected and instructed to the recording circuit 5. The received data output from the received data storage port, path 3, is input to the recording circuit 5, and the received data is printed. A predetermined operation pattern is input to the recording operation selection parameter storage circuit 8 from the operation parameter setting circuit 10 before the start of communication, and if the selected cassette runs out of paper during printing, the recording operation selection parameter storage circuit 8 5 outputs a predetermined out-of-paper signal and inputs it into the out-of-paper signal detection circuit 6. The out-of-paper signal detection circuit 6 outputs a out-of-paper detection signal. Correspondingly, the control circuit 7 causes the recording operation selection parameter storage circuit 8 to set the operation parameter corresponding to the predetermined operation mode when the paper is out to stop the recording operation until the received recording paper is replenished. If the operating parameters correspond to the operating mode, the cassette selection circuit 4 is held in the same state, and when the cassette is replenished with received recording paper, the recording circuit 5 is instructed to resume recording.

Further, the operating parameters read by the control circuit 7 are
If the operating parameters correspond to the operating mode for selecting the cassette for the other received recording paper, a switching signal is output from the control circuit 7 to the cassette switching instruction circuit 9;
In response to an instruction from the cassette switching instruction circuit 9', the cassette selection circuit 4 selects the other receiving recording paper cassette, and instructs the recording circuit 5 to select the other receiving recording paper cassette. Therefore, in this case, the recording circuit 5 continues printing on the received recording paper contained in the other cassette without interruption.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the received data can be printed in an optimal manner by making it possible to appropriately select an operation mode when paper runs out.
