It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile machine that operates. [Structure] By providing an identification unit for identifying a destination FAX number from a received signal and a registration table for registering a destination FAX number for double-sided printing of a received document, double-sided printing only when communicating with a predetermined destination. Or print on one side,
In other cases, single-sided printing or double-sided printing is performed, so that the printing mode can be selected according to the other party.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine for printing a received original on both sides.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile apparatus having a double-sided printing function, a switch (hard switch or soft switch) which can be set by a user is used to select whether to print a received original on both sides or one side.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, when the received original is set to be printed on both sides, the received original from any other party is printed on both sides. There was a drawback that even bad documents were printed on both sides.

An object of the present invention is to perform double-sided printing or single-sided printing only when receiving from a predetermined partner, and to save the trouble of copying a double-sided original to a single-sided original again. The present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that does this.

[0005]

According to the present invention, by providing an identification means for identifying a destination FAX number from a received signal and a registration means for registering a destination FAX number for double-sided printing of a received document, a predetermined determination is made. The printing mode is selected according to the other party by performing the double-sided printing or the single-sided printing only when communicating with the designated other party and in the other cases, the single-sided printing or the double-sided printing.

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

The scanner unit 1 reads a transmission document and converts it into image data, and the operation unit 2 performs key operations for making various instructions and settings. Also,
The central control unit 3 controls the entire facsimile apparatus, and has a CPU for calculation and control, a ROM for storing a control program, and an auxiliary RAM.

The FAX number registration table 4 is a table for registering the FAX number of the other party to be printed on both sides of the received document according to this embodiment. The table may be included in the auxiliary RAM.

The compression unit 5 is provided with MH, MR, MM of the transmitted image.
The decompression unit 7 decompresses the received signal such as MH, MR, MMR, and the like. Also,
The communication control unit 6 controls the G3 communication protocol via the telephone line 10, and the NCU unit 9 interfaces with the network.

The printer unit 8 prints the received image data on a recording sheet by one side or both sides, and the control line 11 controls the printer unit 8 for single sided or double sided printing.
Is a control line for controlling.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation in the case of printing the received image in the above construction. It should be noted that this flowchart takes out a part that is deeply related to the present invention.

First, the destination FAX number for double-sided printing is registered by the operation unit 2 (S21), and the registered destination F is registered.
The AX number is transmitted to the central control unit 3 and further stored in the FAX number registration table unit 4.

In this state, when an incoming call is received from the other party's FAX, the NCU section 9 detects the incoming call, and the central control section 3 is notified via the communication control section 6 that the incoming call has been received (S22). .

Here, the central control unit 3 instructs the communication control unit 6 to communicate with the partner FAX, and the communication control unit 6 sends I
TU-T recommendation T.T. 30 and T.S. At the same time that communication is performed by the communication protocol based on No. 4, the FAX number of the communication partner is identified by the received TSI signal, and the FAX number is notified to the central control unit 3. The G3 communication protocol and the format of the TSI signal are recommended by T. 30, T.I. 4 are described.

Next, the central control unit 3 checks whether or not the FAX number of the destination notified by the communication control unit 6 matches the FAX number for double-sided printing stored in the FAX number registration table 4 (S23).

If they match, the printer unit 8 is instructed to perform double-sided printing (S24). If the registered FAX number for double-sided printing does not match the FAX number of the destination, the single-sided printing is instructed (S25).

ITU-T's T.S. In the 30 recommendation, the TSI signal is an option and therefore may not be transmitted from the other party, but in this case, it is the same as not matching and single-sided printing is performed (S25).

Also, if the destination FAX number for double-sided printing is not registered, single-sided printing is performed (S25).

In the above embodiment, the double-sided printing is performed on the image received from the partner whose fax number is registered. On the contrary, the received image from the partner whose fax number is registered is single-sided. Printing may be performed, and double-sided printing may be performed in other cases.

The present invention also provides an FA for a G4 facsimile.
The same applies to the X number.

[0021]

As described above, according to the first invention of the present application, since only the original received from the partner of the registered FAX number is printed on both sides, the original which should not be printed on both sides is printed on both sides. Since printing is not performed, it is possible to save the trouble of copying a double-sided original into a single-sided original on the receiving side.

Further, according to the second invention of the present application, since only the original received from the partner of the registered FAX number is printed on one side, only the original received from the specific partner is printed on one side, and the other documents are received. By performing double-sided printing on an original, it is possible to perform single-sided printing on a received original of a partner who wants to obtain a single-sided original, and to perform double-sided printing on unspecified reception to save recording paper.
