Abstract

PURPOSE:To make effective use of a picture data storage part. CONSTITUTION:A picture data printing part 4 outputs an out-of-paper signal 103 when recording paper is used up. A data reception part 2 receives a reception opposite station number 105 included in the incoming control procedure signal and reception picture data 101 from a communication network 1 at its output. A station number storage part 7 stores a storage station number 107 designated by the operation input. A station number comparison part 6 outputs a station number coincidence signal 106 when the reception opposite station number 105 and the storage station number are coincident. A data selection part 3 outputs the reception picture data 101 to the picture data storage part 5 as storage picture data 104 after the out-of-paper signal 103 and the station number coincident signal 106 are inputted.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine having means for storing received image data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a facsimile apparatus of this type, when output paper is used up, the received image data is stored in the image data storage means by the image data storage means until the paper is replenished, regardless of the partner station from which the image data is transmitted. It was stored within the capacity.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional facsimile machine, when the recording paper is exhausted, the received image data is stored in the image data storage means regardless of the partner station of the image data transmission source. , If the image data transmitted from a lower priority communication partner station is received first and the image data storage capacity of the image data storage means becomes full, then the image transmitted from the higher priority communication partner song. Even if data is received, the received image data cannot be stored in the storage means.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A facsimile apparatus of the present invention receives an image data printing section which outputs a paper out signal when recording paper is exhausted, a partner station number and image data included in a control procedure signal. A data receiving unit, a station number storage unit that stores a registered station number designated by an operation input,
In the previous term, the station number comparison unit that outputs a match signal when the partner station number and the registered station number match, and the image data received when the paper out signal and the match signal are input to the image data storage unit And a data selection unit for outputting.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the data receiving section 2 is shown in FIG.
Is the image data received from the communication network 1
It is output to the data selection unit 3 as 01. The image data printing unit 4 does not output the paper out signal 103 to the data selecting unit 3 when the recording paper out is not detected, so that the data selecting unit 3 outputs the received image data 102 input from the data receiving unit 2 to the output image. The data is output to the image data printing unit 4 as data 102, and the printed recording paper is output to the outside of the apparatus by the image data output unit 4.

When the image data printing unit 4 detects that the recording paper has run out, the data receiving unit 2 identifies the receiving station number 105 from the procedure signal received from the communication network 1 and outputs it to the station number comparing unit 6. The station number storage unit 7 stores the station number of the specific communication partner in advance, and outputs the stored station number 107 of the specific communication partner to the station number comparison unit 6. The storage station number 107 and the receiving station number 105 are compared by the station number comparing unit 6, and if they are the same, the station number matching signal 106 is output to the data selecting unit 3. Data selection unit 3 to which the station number matching signal 106 is input
Is the received image data 101 input from the data receiving unit 2.
Is output to the image data storage unit 5 as the stored image data 104 and stored in the image data storage unit 5.

When recording paper is replenished in the image data printing unit 4 and the out-of-paper signal 103 from the image data printing unit 4 is released, the stored image data 104 stored in the image data storage unit 5 becomes the data selection unit 3 Output image data 10
2 is sent to the image data printing unit 4, and the recording paper printed by the image data printing unit is output to the outside of the apparatus.

However, the station number comparison unit 6 is replaced by the station number storage unit 7
Stored in the storage station number 107 and the receiving station number 1
When it is determined that 05 is different, the data selection unit 3
The station number coincidence signal 106 is not output to the data reception unit 2 and the received image data 102 input from the data reception unit 2 is not output to the data selection unit 3.
Is discarded and is not stored in the image data storage unit 5.

[0010]

As described above, in the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, only the image data transmitted from the communication partner station having a high priority designated in advance when the recording sheets are exhausted is stored in the image data storage means. By storing, even if the image data is transmitted from the communication partner station having a low priority, the image data storage capacity of the image data storage means will not be full due to the image data, The image data storage means can be used efficiently.
