Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention provides for temporarily storing communication-related information for at least one communication obtained in facsimile communication in a memory, and then recording the communication-related information in a recording means based on the communication-related information. This invention relates to an improvement in a communication-related information recording method in facsimile communication in which information is recorded on recording paper.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, in this type of recording method, recording is performed tightly to the last line of one page of recording paper having a fixed length. Therefore, if this recording method is adopted, for example, in a broadcast system using a storage/broadcast device, the record corresponding to one communication will become multiple lines, and the record corresponding to one communication will be divided into multiple lines as shown in Figure 1. was spread over two pages of recording paper, making it difficult for the user to view the record. In Figure 1, a is the date and time of facsimile communication, b
indicates the terminal number of the destination facsimile device.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is a communication-related information recording method for facsimile communication in which all communication-related information for one communication is always recorded on one page of recording paper, making the record easy to view. The purpose is to provide

[Summary of the Invention] Accordingly, the present invention provides that when a recording based on communication-related information for one communication is made exceeding a predetermined number of lines set in advance for one page of recording paper, the recording means records information for the next communication. The above objective was achieved by recording the communication-related information on the next page of recording paper.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the main parts of an embodiment of a sending facsimile apparatus to which the present invention is applied, in which 1 is a control section, 2 is a memory, 3 is a timer, and 4 is a recording device. The control unit 1 stores terminal number data indicating the destination of broadcast communication or terminal number data indicating the destination of normal one-to-one facsimile communication obtained based on input from an operation panel unit (not shown) for each communication. The data is stored sequentially. Further, this control unit 1 controls the operation of the recording device 4, and the number of lines corresponding to the terminal number data sequentially stored in the memory 2 for each communication is set in advance for one page of recording paper. When a predetermined number of lines (91 lines in this case) is exceeded, this terminal number data is read out and used as data for one page, and the recording device 4 records the data.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3, which shows an example of recording paper on which recording was performed according to this embodiment.

First, when facsimile communication is performed many times by a user's operation, the control unit 1 sequentially stores destination terminal number data obtained for each communication in the memory 2. When it is determined that the number of lines corresponding to the stored data exceeds the preset number of lines, the control unit 1 reads out the stored data and inputs it to the recording device 4 to cause it to be recorded. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the number of lines corresponding to data stored for each communication is 94 lines, and when it exceeds 91 lines, the control unit 1 causes recording to be performed based on this data. At this time, the control unit 1 reads date and time data from the timer 3, and controls the record based on this data to be on the same line as the record based on the terminal number data described above. In this way, recording paper on which communication-related information is recorded is obtained from the recording device 4.

By the way, the setting of the predetermined number of lines of 91 lines in this embodiment is based on the assumption that the maximum number of recorded lines on one page of recording paper is 100 lines, and the number of destinations that can be simultaneously selected in broadcast communication (number of broadcast destinations) is 10. It depends. That is, the predetermined number of lines to be set differs depending on the system to which it is applied.

Although this embodiment describes the sending facsimile device, for example, when recording the sender in a receiving facsimile device that receives image information from multiple destinations in series, can also be applied. Further, the recording device 4 may be one that cuts roll paper into predetermined lengths, or may be one that uses cut paper.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, by making the number of lines of communication-related information recorded on one page of recording paper variable, all the communication-related information for one communication is always recorded on one page of recording paper. It will be recorded and the record will be easier to see. Therefore, when managing facsimile communications based on this record, the management becomes easier. Also, if the length of the recording paper is always constant, the bottom margin will differ depending on the recording paper, but
This has the advantage that files can be easily organized.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. A facsimile communication in which, after temporarily storing communication-related information for at least one communication obtained in the facsimile communication in a memory, a recording unit records the communication-related information on recording paper based on the communication-related information. In the communication-related information recording method, when the communication-related information for one communication is recorded beyond a predetermined number of lines per page of recording paper, the recording means records the communication-related information for the next communication. A communication-related information recording method for facsimile communication characterized by recording information based on the next page of recording paper. 2. The communication-related information recording system for facsimile communication according to claim 1, wherein the recording paper is a roll paper and is cut after one page of recording is made. 3. The communication-related information recording system in facsimile communication according to claim 1, wherein the recording paper is cut paper. 4. A communication-related information recording method in facsimile communication according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the recording paper length for one page is always constant.
