(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a facsimile device that confirms transmitting terminal identification information transmitted from a transmitting terminal and prints and records the transmitted image information.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of facsimile device, after confirming the sending terminal identification information from the sending terminal, stores the image information transmitted from the sending terminal in a buffer and sequentially reads out the image information. It is used for printed records.

In addition, some fusing devices store the transmitted image information in the image memory according to the specifications from the sending side, and print and record the image information in the image memory after the end of communication, or when there is no paper, the transmitted image information is stored in the image memory. There is a device that stores information in an image memory, prompts the paper to be fed, and prints and records the image information in the image memory when the paper is fed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional fusing device described above, it is not possible to print and record a plurality of copies as necessary on the receiving side in one communication.

This is because the receiving side only has the function of printing and recording the transmitted image information as it is based on the commands from the transmitting side.

The function to store the transmitted image information in the image memory when there is no paper and print the image information later is just a supplement to the above basic function, and the image information in the image memory can be printed and recorded in multiple copies. It is not something that will develop into a function that can be used.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can print and record multiple copies as required by controlling the image memory based on operations on the receiving side.

The image information storage control means 4 stored in the image memory 3 and the print record of the image information stored in the image memory 3 are transmitted to the sending terminal matching determination means 2.
The apparatus further includes a recording control means 5 which performs the output with the number of copies set in the output copy number setting means 1 for each partner station in accordance with the identification information for which a match has been determined.

(Operation) The identification information of the transmitting terminal and the number of recording output copies associated with the identification information are set in advance in the output copy number setting means 1 for each partner station. The identification information of the transmitting terminal is, for example, the telephone number of the sender, and each data of the number of recorded output copies corresponding to this telephone number is set by operating input using a numeric keypad or the like.

In the above state, when a calling signal is received from the transmitting side, the transmitting terminal matching determination means 2 determines whether the transmitting terminal identification information transmitted from the transmitting terminal is one of the copies set in the output copy number setting means 1 for each destination station. It is determined whether or not the identification information matches, and when the sending terminal matching judgment means 2 makes a judgment as to whether the sending terminal matches the identification information or not, the image information transmitted from the sending terminal is stored in the image memory 3 by the image information storage control means 4. Stored. When one communication is completed, the recording control means 5 sets the number of output copies set in the output copy number setting means 1 for each partner station in accordance with the identification information for which the sending terminal match determination means 2 has determined the match. The image information stored in the image memory 3 is then printed and recorded.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the basic configuration of the receiving side of the fudge removal apparatus according to the present invention.

In the figure, 10 is a modem that demodulates the signal from the transmitting side via the line, and 11 is a reception frame control unit that separates the received signal via the modem 10 into a procedure signal and an image signal. Reference numeral 12 denotes a buffer that temporarily stores the procedure signals separated by the reception frame control section 11, and 13 indicates a procedure signal control section. It is designed to perform reception control and also issue a recording command to the recording control section 20. Further, 14 is a register, and in this register 14, the destination telephone number and the output copy number data, which are input by operating the numeric keypad provided on the operation panel of this device, are stored, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, respectively. are stored in advance in a correlated form, and the contents thereof are referenced by the procedure signal control unit 13.

On the other hand, the image signal separated by the reception frame control section 11 is stored in a buffer 15 in the form of compressed data, and the compressed data is supplied to the recording control section 20. The basic configuration of this recording device 20 includes a restoring section 21 that restores the data-compressed image signal supplied from the buffer 15 to its original state, and a restoring section 21 that sequentially stores the restored image signals in the restoring section 21. A compression unit 24 that includes a buffer 22 and a recording unit 23 that reproduces an image corresponding to the image signal supplied via the buffer 22 on a recording sheet, and also compresses the image signal that has passed through the buffer 22 again. An image memory 2 that stores compressed image data from the compression unit 24 in page units.
5. Note that the recording section 23
It is composed of a general thermal printer, an electrophotographic laser printer, etc.

Next, the operation will be explained according to the communication sequence shown in FIG.

When receiving a paging signal from the transmitting side, the receiving side sends a called station confirmation signal (CHD), a signal indicating a specific request (NSF), and a called station identification signal (if the receiving side is in a normal state).
CSI) Furthermore, a signal (DIS) indicating whether or not the standard protocol is used is returned to the transmitting side. After confirming various signals from the receiving side, the transmitting side transmits the transmitting station identification signal (TS).
A response signal (NSS) to the DSI signal is output together with the DSI signal (I: originating telephone number). Furthermore, a training signal and a check signal (TCP) are sent to the receiving side.
is transferred. This training signal is a signal sent on a trial basis to check the signal transmission status of the line.
The receiving side checks whether the training signal has been received without error, and if it has been received without error, returns a signal (CFR) indicating that the confirmation is positive.

Assuming the above processing, the procedure signal (N
SS, TSI, etc.) are supplied to the procedure signal control unit 13, and the procedure signal control unit 13 receives various reception controls as well as transmitting station identification signals (TSI: originating telephone number) from the transmitting side and storing them in the register 14. It is determined whether or not the called party's telephone number (see FIG. 2) matches. When a match is confirmed in this match determination process, the procedure signal control unit 13 supplies output copy number data to be stored in the register 14 corresponding to the destination telephone number for which a match has been confirmed. Then, image signals sequentially transferred from the transmitting side that have been confirmed as the CFR signal are supplied to the recording control section 20 via the modem 10, reception frame control section 11, and buffer 15 on the receiving side. Then, in the recording control section 20, the supplied image signal is transmitted to the restoring section 21. The images are sequentially stored in the image memory 25 via the buffer 22 and compression section 24. When the transmission of the image signal is completed, the compressed image data stored in the image memory 25 is transferred to the restoring unit 21. The image data is supplied to the recording section 23 via the buffer 22, and the recording section 23 prints out the image data in a number of copies matching the output copy number data from the procedure signal control section 13.

In addition, the transmitting station identification signal (TSI) transferred from the transmitting side
