Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the retransmission without waste in response to the opposite facsimile by deciding the time till the retransmission is started depending on the destination telephone number for transmission object when a call is restored or interrupted due to communication fault at transmission. CONSTITUTION:When the transmission of an original is given in the step 2, whether or not the transmission 2 of the original is finished normally or abnormally is discriminated in the step 3. When the original is not sent due to communication fault and number of times of abnormal communication is less than 6 times in the step 2, a retransmission interval table stored in the memory is accessed in the step 6 and the destination telephone number of the transmission is retrieved. When the destination telephone number exists in the retransmission interval table in the step 7, the process is awaited for the time of retransmission interval stored in pairs with the telephone number in the step 8 and the retransmission is started in the step 2.

In the figure, step 1 indicates the start of transmission of a document.In step 1, a document is scanned and its contents are stored in a memory. Step 2 shows the operation of transmitting a document using the T, 30 binary procedure of CC engineering TT @ notification, and the transmission is completed normally after a call is made, or the other party is busy or a line abnormality is detected as a no-response timeout. What is the state of the call until it is disconnected or restored due to a communication error? include. Step 3 is a communication abnormality determination step in which it is determined whether the document transmission 2 has ended normally or abnormally. If the original is successfully sent in step 2, step 3

In step 6, the retransmission interval table stored in memory is accessed to search for the destination telephone number of this transmission. If there is a destination phone number in the retransmission interval table in step 7, the process waits for the retransmission interval time stored as a pair with the phone number in step 8, and then resends in step 2? Start. In step 7, if there is no destination telephone number in the retransmission interval table, the process waits for one minute in step 9, and then retransmits in step 2. In addition, steps 6.7.8 and 9 determine how long it takes to resend depending on the destination phone number. Is this a procedure for deciding, and is this example an example using a table? This is what is shown. Instead of using this table, the retransmission interval can also be changed by branching to a step of waiting for a specific retransmission interval for all specific telephone numbers.
