Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform it to the operator of the sender station side that no print out is given in a reception station by providing a means informing it to the transmission station side in the case of the execution of deputy reception. CONSTITUTION:In the shortage of recording paper, a signal NSF representing the non-standard function in a signal DIS representing the reception function is used to set a prescribed bit representing the deputy reception and it is informed to a transmitter. Then no reception picture information is sent to a recording section and stored in a picture memory 4. After the end of communication, a CPU monitors a sensor 3 and when new recording paper is loaded, the picture of deputy reception stored in the picture memory is printed out by a recording section 2. Thus, it is possible to inform it to the operator of the sender station that the received picture is not yet outputted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a proxy reception function of a facsimile machine.

In the conventional proxy reception function, even if there is no recording paper at the time of reception, communication is made with the other party's transmitter in the same way as when there is regular recording paper, and instead of printing the received image information on the recording paper, It was stored and memorized in the built-in image memory. In addition, the transmitter was configured so that no information was given to the transmitter, such as whether it was operating in proxy reception mode or normal reception mode.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] As described above, even if proxy reception is performed, there is no difference in facsimile communication from normal facsimile communication. There is a drawback that when the process ends normally, the other recipient may be mistaken as having received a copy of the note. In reality, it is not known that the data has been received until a new recording paper is attached to the device that received the data.

Furthermore, since the memory used for such proxy reception generally requires a large capacity, it is constructed from a dynamic RAM for economical reasons. However, dynamic RAM has a characteristic that its contents will be lost unless refresh operations are continuously performed. Therefore, if the power is accidentally turned off or a power outage occurs before the print output of the image that has been received by proxy is completed, the data will be lost. In this case, even though the sender has indeed completed the transmission, it may happen that the message has not actually reached the recipient. In such a case, the transmission is registered as having been transmitted normally on the communication management report of the transmitter, so there is a drawback that the communication management function is also useless for proxy reception.

In addition, a method of backing up the memory contents with a battery may be considered as a method to prevent the memory contents from being lost even if the power is cut off, but in practical terms, it must have a backup capacity of at least several days, and it is not economical or expensive. This is difficult to realize due to weight and other considerations.

Means and operation for solving problem C] According to the present invention, when executing proxy reception, the receiver is provided with a means for notifying the transmitter that it is proxy reception. It becomes possible to inform the operator of the station that even if the transmitting operation is normally completed, the received image has not yet been output at the receiving station.

At this time, the display of the presence or absence of recording paper in the DIS is set to indicate that recording paper is present. After this, the received image information is not sent to the recording section but is accumulated and stored in the image memory 4. After this communication is completed, the CPU monitors the sensor 3, and when a new recording paper is installed, the recording section 2 prints out the image that has been received by proxy in the image memory.

As another example, when executing the 5-substitute reception mode, the transmitting station and the receiving station are exchanged at the end during the communication, and the side receiving the substitution exchanges the substitution reception with the original transmitting station. There is a method of sending back the information in the form of image information. Alternatively, there is a method in which the communication is once terminated, and then the receiving station automatically calls the transmitting station again to send the message which was the above-mentioned proxy reception. In these implementations, the transmitter does not require any special functions and can notify the operator that it has received proxy reception.
