Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a fact that a transmitting data is not stored entirely but disappears, by constituting the titled equipment so that when a repeater station receives a signal for instructing a repeating multiple address from a transmitting station, the remaining capacity of the memory is checked and its data is sent back to the transmitting station, and on the other hand, the transmitting station displays the remaining capacity of the memory on an indicator, and instructs a state of the repeater station to an operator. CONSTITUTION:A control circuit 1 of a repeater station 13 which has received a repeating multiple address instructing data checks a using state of a data memory 7, derives the remaining capacity and sends it back to a transmitting station 12 by a CFR signal. The control circuit 1 of the transmitting station 12 which has received the CFR signal displays the remaining capacity of the data memory sent from the repeater station 13, on an indicator 6, and informs it to an operator. By this display, the operator can judge whether an original data to be transmitted is all stored in the repeater station 13 or not. Therefore, in case it is judged that the capacitor of the memory is small, the transmission is suspended by depressing a stop key of a keyboard 5. In this state, the equipment awaits the time when the memory of the repeater station 13 becomes idle, and after a little while, the transmitting operation is executed by dialing to the repeater station 13 again.

At the transmitting station (121), set the original to be transmitted on the reading unit (3), and after inputting the relay broadcast key and the group number indicating the destination at the keyboard (51), use the telephone αa to transmit to the relay station α3. Dial the telephone number 03.The relay station (131 receives a response signal (CED)
After confirming that the signal) has been returned, if you operate the send key on the keyboard (5), the control circuit (1) of the transmitting station az that detected the send key signal will switch to In communicating communication procedure signals based on the standards shown in , data instructing relay broadcasting and group number data instructing all destinations are transmitted to the relay station (13) using NSS signals. Receiving relay station α3
The control circuit (1) checks the usage status of the data memory (7), calculates the remaining capacity, and sends it back to the transmitting station az in the form of a CFR signal. After receiving the CFR signal, the control circuit (1) of the ninth transmitting station (121) displays the remaining capacity of the data memory sent from the relay station 131 on the display (6) as "A4:5 page, etc.", and operates it. This display allows the operator to judge whether all the original data to be transmitted will be stored in the relay station 03.
If you judge that the memory capacity is low, use the keyboard (
5) Press the stop key to cancel the transmission, wait until the memory of relay station
Dial 1 and perform the sending operation. On the other hand, if it is determined that the memory capacity of relay station 0 is sufficient, no key operation is performed, so the control circuit (1) of transmitting station α2 controls the reading unit (3) and reads the read original data. relay station a
Send to 3. Relay station 0 sequentially stores the received document data in data memory (7). Then, in the relay station a3 that received the EOP signal instructing the end of the original data from the transmitting station O2, the control circuit (1) transfers the data to the data memory (7).
The remaining capacity of the transmitter station t1z is checked and sent back to the transmitting station fi3 using the MCF signal.
) displays the remaining capacity of Data Memo January 71. M.C.
Upon reception of the F signal, the control circuit of the transmitting station (13) disconnects the line, transmits a tncN signal to the relay station 031, and ends the transmitting operation.

At the receiving station I, printing is performed in the recording section in the same manner as in a normal facsimile machine. As a result, the original data transmitted by the transmitting station tiz is received and recorded by the receiving station I via the relay station (13).
), the control circuit (1) then sends the data to the second receiving station αI stored in the destination memory (8).
The relay station α3 reads out the telephone number data of the destination memory (8) and transmits the original data of the data memory (71) to the receiving station α4 in the same manner as described above. Repeat the transmission of the manuscript data of Data Memo (January 7) until the transmission is completed first.
