Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the transmission/reception of a long telegram in a short time using a conventional line and a conventional equipment by transmitting and receiving one telegram in parallel using plural communication lines. CONSTITUTION:Two other side terminals in a telegram assembling control part 60 are combined with communication control parts 11 and 12, and two other side terminals in the communication control part 11 with a line control part 21, and two other side terminals in a communication control part 12 with a line control part 22. When a communication opposite equipment has the same function as its own equipment and some communication lines are empty, the second communication line is connected to the communication opposite. Afterwards, as for a picture information from a memory part 40, through the telegram assembling and resolving control part 60, for example, the odd page of the telegram is transferred to the communication control part 11 that is connected to the first communication line, and the even page of the telegram to the second communication control part 12. Thereby, the telegram can be transmitted in a short time.

Next, the transmission operation will be explained. Prior to communication, the device control unit 50 instructs the scanner unit 3 to read the document. When the image information from the scanner section 3 is stored in the memory section 40 as the front part or part of the message, the device control section 50 notifies the communication control section 11 of the number of the communication partner, attribute information of the image information, etc. . The communication control unit 11 performs a connection operation with the communication partner via the line control unit 21, and also negotiates transmission procedures (confirmation of connection number, confirmation of ID number, document size, etc.) with the communication partner. /Check the recording paper size, density, number of communication lines, etc.). At this time, when the communication partner owns only one communication line, the image information stored in the memory unit 40 is transferred to the communication control unit 1 by bypassing the message assembly and disassembly control unit 60, as in conventional facsimile machines.
, the line control unit 21, and the communication line 31 to the other party, and conventional facsimile communication is performed. On the other hand, as a result of negotiation on the transmission procedure, if the communication partner has the same functions as the own device and the communication line is still available, the line connection is made in the same manner as described above. In other words, the second communication line is connected to the communication partner.

Thereafter, the image information from the memory section 40 is sent to the communication control section 11 connected to the first communication line for odd pages of the message, and for even pages through the message assembly/disassembly control section 60. The data is transferred to the second communication control unit 12. Naturally, the conditions for sending to each communication line 31 and 32 (which line is the odd numbered page) are determined by the transmission procedure and notified to the communication partner. In this way, the message is efficiently transmitted using two lines.

If the information from each communication control unit 11 and 12 is set to the same conditions as the above-mentioned transmission, then the communication control unit 11.1
The image information from 2 is treated as an even/odd page and transferred to the memory unit 40. Thereafter, the memory section 40 outputs the image information to the printer section 4 to obtain the memory 2. In the above embodiment, there are two communication lines, but there are N lines (N=2.3...
It is clear that the method can be applied to 4...). In addition, in the embodiment, messages are sent to the first/second communication line in correspondence with odd/even pages, but if some kind of correspondence is clear, such as in units of several pages or blocks within a page, the correspondence It can be sent to each communication line according to the time. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the image information of the message starts to be sent after the two line connections are completed, but at the same time as the first line connection is completed, that is, before the second line connection is completed.
Sending of the image information of the message to the first line may be started.
