[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional facsimile apparatuses have various reading modes such as resolution such as "fine" and "super fine", gradation such as "halftone", and density such as "dark" and "light". When reading a document for transmission, copying, etc., set the reading mode for each page,
The original was read according to the set reading mode.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, when the reading mode differs between pages, the reading mode of the next page must be set while reading the previous page. . However, the reading time of a document in memory storage at the time of memory transmission / copying tends to become shorter year by year, and some models read one document in one second.

For this reason, the setting of the reading mode cannot be made before the reading of the next page is started, and there is a disadvantage that the reading is performed in a reading mode different from the reading mode actually desired to be set.

Further, in the case of a model in which a document is set face down during reading, it is difficult to see how many pages to change the setting of the reading mode because the surface of the document waiting for reading cannot be seen. There is also a disadvantage that reading is performed in the mode.

Conventionally, in the direct transmission, when the reading mode is changed in the middle, there is a disadvantage that the user cannot leave the facsimile during the transmission to change the reading mode.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an image reading apparatus such as a facsimile apparatus or a digital copying machine which solves the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages, gives a sense of security to the user, and is more convenient to use.

(Second Embodiment) In the above embodiment, in the reading code registration process, the setting page 150 is initially set to 1
The reading mode of all pages is registered by incrementing each time one page is registered. However, a setting page can be input by a “numeric keypad” (not shown) for inputting numerical values on the operation unit 105. In this way, it is preferable to register only the read mode of a page whose read mode is different (ie, changes). In this case, at the time of reading, for a page that has not been registered, the same setting as the previous page may be used, or a default value may be registered at the time of registration and the default value may be used. Good. An embodiment in the latter case (a second embodiment of the present invention) will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 9 shows the contents of the control data storage memory 130 in the second embodiment of the present invention. The control data storage memory 130 has a read mode (0) for storing a registered read mode default value, and a read mode (1) for storing the registered read modes for up to N pages.

In each of the reading modes, set page data (binary number) and reading mode data, and a flag indicating whether or not these are valid data are stored.

For example, in FIG. 9, the reading mode (1)
The second page is "Fine", "Halftone",
In the reading mode (2), the sixth page is set to “Fine” or “Dark” in the reading mode (2).
It is in a state registered to be read by. The pages other than the second and sixth pages are read in “super fine” as registered in the reading mode (0).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a reading mode registration process executed by the main control unit 101 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 10, first, control data is initialized in the control data storage memory 130 (S500). Here, for example, the valid data flags of the reading modes (0) to (N) in FIG. 9 are set to 0, and the areas of the setting page 170 and the page work data 172 are set to 0, respectively. Please do ". Next, if the resolution selection key 210 is pressed (S50
1), the above-described resolution LED processing shown in FIG. 5 (S510)
If the gradation selection key 220 is pressed (S
502), the gradation LED processing shown in FIG.

Proceed to 30).

Here, if the numeric key is pressed (S
504), a page setting process shown in FIG.
Go to 0).

If the set key is pressed (S
505), the reading mode input by the mode selection key is registered in the control data storage memory 130 (S55).
0). This registration is performed when the setting page 170 is “0” and the reading mode (0) is set.
In other cases, the area where the valid data flag is 0 is searched from the reading modes (1) to (N), and the setting page 170 and the ON / OFF state of each LED at that time are stored in the area, and The data flag is set to 1. After the reading mode is stored in the memory 130, the setting page 170 may be incremented by one, and the LCD 200 may display a page update.

These processes described above are repeated until the end key or the stop key is pressed. When the stop key is pressed (S506), the main registration process is stopped (S509). At this time, the reading mode (1)
To (N) may be set to 0. If the end key has been pressed (S507), the main registration process ends (S508).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the details of the page setting process subroutine (S540) of FIG. First, the value of the ten key pressed when shifting to the page setting process is stored in the page work data 172 of the memory 130.
Page work data 1
72 is initialized (S600). At this time, LCD2
At 00, a display such as “Page Setup P.005” may be performed. Every time the “numeric keypad” is pressed (S6
01), the page work data 172 is updated (S6).
05). Here, the updated data may be displayed on LCD 200 as well.

These processes are repeated until the set key or the stop key is pressed. If the stop key is pressed (S602), the present page setting process is stopped (S606). If the set key is pressed (S603), the value of the page work data 172 is set in the area of the setting page 170 of the memory 130 (S604), and the page setting process ends (S60).
7). Such an end (S607) or stop (S6)
06), the value of the setting page 170 (the number of pages) may be displayed on the LCD 200.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure at the time of document reading executed by the main control unit 101 in the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 12, first, the control data in the control data storage memory 130 is initialized (S
700). Here, for example, the page counter 1 shown in FIG.
Set 0 to 71. In the next step S701, the page counter 171 is incremented by one, and it is determined whether or not the read mode data of the page indicated by the page counter 171 is registered in the memory 130 (S70).
2). This is because the page data in the read modes (1) to (N) stored in the control data storage memory 130 matches the page of the page counter 171 and the valid data flag is “1”. Judge based on whether there is something.

If it is determined that there is page data that matches, the reading mode is set to the corresponding reading mode data (S703). Step S7
If it is determined that there is no matching page data in 02,
The reading mode is set in the reading mode data stored in the reading mode (0). Steps S703 and S70
In 4, the set reading mode state may be displayed to the operator by turning on / off each LED.

If the validity flag of the reading mode (0) is 0 in step S704, the reading mode set at that time is kept in the next step S70.
The process may proceed to step 5.

The processing after step S705 is the same as the processing after step S404 in FIG. 8 in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

(Other Embodiments) In the above embodiment of the present invention, the registered reading mode may be displayed so that the user can confirm it. For example, every time a certain key is pressed after shifting to the reading mode confirmation processing, the valid data flag in the reading modes (0) to (N) registered in the control data storage memory 130 is set to 1 LC page data and read mode data
