As a result, only the first cover of the received document is automatically output, and the remaining received pages can be taken out by reading the composite image image, so that a simple confidential function can be realized. Further, the received document can be easily printed out without performing the operation of searching for a target document from a large number of received document files in the HDD 106.

Next, the operation procedure of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the configuration diagram of FIG. 1 and the flowchart of FIG.
Here, the configuration of the image information processing apparatus of the present embodiment is basically the same as that of FIG.

In the third embodiment, the administrator of the apparatus creates a password table that only the authorized user knows beforehand (506) and stores the password table in the ROM 102 (507). Then, the operator inputs a keyword as a password from the keyboard 108 before the printed composite image is read by the image reading device 110 (509), the CPU 101 stores the input keyword in the RAM 103, and stores the password and the keyword in the ROM 102. (510), and when they match, reading by the image reading device 110 is permitted. Here, instead of inputting the keyword from the keyboard, the keyword may be input by inserting the magnetic card in which the keyword is written into the magnetic card reader. The same effect can be obtained by inserting an IC card in which a keyword is written by inserting the IC card into an IC card reader. By doing so, even if an attempt is made to retrieve the received document using the paper on which the composite image is printed, a simple confidential function can be realized because the received document can only be retrieved by a person authorized to use the apparatus. .

Next, the operation procedure of the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to the configuration diagram of FIG. 1 and the flowchart of FIG.

That is, the electronic file originally recorded in the HDD 106 or the electronic file read by the image reading device 110 and recorded in the HDD 106 or the RAM 103 is transmitted by facsimile from the facsimile transmitting device 116 (1101). If a transmission error occurs during transmission (1102), the CPU 101
The file storage position information of the image information to be transmitted and the transmission conditions (see FIG. 9) such as the facsimile number 1201 and transmission date and time 1202 of the transmission destination are stored in the RAM 103 or the HDD 106.
(1103). Also, CPU
101 creates a barcode 1203 associated with the retransmission information (1104), and outputs a transmission error message 1205 to notify the operator of a transmission error.
The barcode 1203 is added to (see FIG. 9). Then, the CPU 101 stores the information in the image printing apparatus 1.
Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the sheet is printed as a transmission error report sheet 1204. Here, the transmission error report paper 1204 corresponds to the medium of the present invention.

Next, when the operator attempts transmission again (1106), the transmission error report paper 1204 with the bar code is set on the image reading device 110, and
The printed portion is read (1107). CPU10
1 cuts out and decodes the bar code 1203 from the read image information (1108). As a result, retransmission information associated with the barcode 1203 is obtained (1109), and the CPU 101 sets transmission conditions and the like in the facsimile transmission device 116 and performs facsimile retransmission (1110). Thus, the operator can simply set and read the output transmission error report paper 1204 without retyping the destination facsimile number or searching for image information to be retransmitted. Facsimile retransmission can be performed only by simple operations. Therefore, if a search for image information is performed, a display device or the like, which is necessary, is not required, so that an inexpensive device can be realized. FIG. 9 shows an example of the transmission error report paper 1204.

Although the identification information of the present invention is the storage position information in the above embodiment, it may be other information such as an ID as long as it can specify a desired electronic document file.

Further, it goes without saying that the data of the electronic document file of the present invention does not have to be input through facsimile.

Also, in the above embodiment, the image information communication apparatus according to the present invention has been described in connection with a configuration in which the image information processing apparatus has the function. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
The following configuration may be used.

That is, the image information communication device is a facsimile communication unit for transmitting and receiving image information in a facsimile format, and a transmission destination of the facsimile transmission when a transmission error occurs during the transmission in the facsimile format. Retransmission information generation means for generating retransmission information including transmission destination information to be specified and information for specifying the image information in which the transmission error has occurred, together with a transmission error message, and an instruction for retransmission in the facsimile format. In this case, the facsimile communication means may include a retransmission control means for retransmitting the image information having the transmission error by using the generated retransmission information. or,
The image information transmitting apparatus further includes, in addition to the above configuration, transmission error message output means for outputting the retransmission information and the error message generated by the retransmission information generation means on the same medium and outputting the same. The retransmitted information may be read from the set medium, and the read retransmitted information may be used for the retransmission by the facsimile communication means. As a result, even if a transmission error occurs in facsimile transmission and retransmission is necessary, retransmission of the facsimile can be performed only by a simple operation of setting the output medium and reading the medium. It has the effect of being able to do it.

The processing operation of each means of the above-described embodiment may be realized as software by using a computer and a program, or the processing operation may be performed without using a computer. The circuit configuration may be implemented as hardware.

As described above, according to the present invention, the specification of an electronic document file in the storage device is simply performed by displaying a printed matter corresponding to the electronic document file without displaying it on a display device and successively searching for it. be able to.

Further, since a display device for the sequential search result is not required, it is advantageous in terms of cost.

Further, since facsimile transmission can be performed to the same destination simply by reading the attached document together,
The procedure for attaching a facsimile transmission original is simplified.

If the input license information is collated with the license information registered in advance, and the facsimile received document is printed out only when both match, the combined image is read. Even if an attempt is made to retrieve a received facsimile document, an unauthorized person who does not have usage right permission information cannot retrieve the received facsimile document, so that a highly reliable simple confidential function can be realized.

Also, if a transmission error occurs during facsimile transmission and a retransmission is required, a transmission error report sheet with a bar code associated with the retransmission information is set and read. Retransmission of a facsimile can be performed with only a very simple operation.
