Abstract:
An apparatus for facsimile transmission through a computer network, particularly the Internet, comprising the image processing unit (17) for converting facsimile data into image files that can be transferred over the Internet, and the format conversion unit (3) for generating electronic mail and registration files that can be sent over the Internet by using the image files and mail addresses.
Abstract:
Preprocessing of picture signal communication is carried out on a control channel of a full-duplex modem. In transition of the picture signal communication to a primary channel of a half-duplex modem, when a called party confirms that 40 bits or more of all-'1' signals have been received from a calling party, a transmission carrier is stopped, and receiving of the all-one signals is restarted after the lapse of a predetermined time period. When the end of the all-'1' signals is confirmed, the picture signal communication is switched to the primary channel.
Abstract:
A method of informing destination node of the processed result from a facsimile equipment or a printing device comprising the steps of extracting the electronic mail address of the node from facsimile data or prints received from an originating node through a LAN, detecting the processed results of the facsimile equipment or printing device, and transmitting the detected processed results to the electronic mail address of the destination node.
Abstract:
In a facsimile communication method in which facsimile data are transmitted to a reception-side terminal from a facsimile through a communication network, the facsimile transmits facsmile data through the following steps: (a) a step of storing the image data of an original to be transmitted as the facsimile data in a storage device; (b) a step of generating access information used for making an access to the image data stored in the storage device from the reception-side terminal through the communication network; (c) a step of sending the access information to the reception-side terminal by electronic mail; and (d) a step of transmitting the image data stored in the storage device to the reception-side terminal from the facsimile according to the communication protocol of point-to-point data transferring method when the facsimile receives a request to access the image data from the reception-side terminal.
Abstract:
A color facsimile machine comprising a communication result report preparing means which outputs part of untransmitted picture information by combining the part with the commumication result information of the communication. The facsimile machine converts part of color picture information into monochromatic picture information and generates picture information to be combined with a transmission result report when the picture information is color picture information. When one of recording materials is used up, the facsimile machine converts the color picture information into monochromatic picture information, records said monochromatic picture information, and displays information representing that the received picture information is color picture information on a recording paper.
Abstract:
When a MODEM controller detects that the receiving level of probing signals or tone signals having a specific frequency in the phase 2 of a precommunication procedure is lower than a prescribed value, the controller lowers the transmission speed of a control channel to a lower speed of 1,200 bps. When the controller lowers the transmission speed, the controller sets the transmission speed to 1,200 bps by using a prescribed bit in an MPh signal in a communication control procedure and, at the same time, executes communication at the lowered transmission speed by setting such a condition that the communication with the communication equipment on the remote side at a different transmission speed is not permitted by using another bit of the MPh signal and informing the communication equipment on the remote side of the set condition.
Abstract:
The time required for data communication equipment to make communication handshaking is reduced by executing a pre-communication procedure based on pre-stored communication parameters. To be concrete, the modulation mode, communication protocol, MODEM parameters, optimum MODEM training time, etc., set through four communication channels; a communication channel for selecting a modulation mode, communication channel for probing a line, communication channel for training MODEM, and communication channel for setting MODEM parameters are stored at every destination communication equipment and the subsequent communication is performed based on the stored information.
Abstract:
An electronic mail converter for facsimile is provided with a facsimile, a public network, and a connecting section to be connected to a LAN. The converter switches the connecting section in accordance with the kind of data or an instruction, converts facsimile data into electronic mail data, or electronic mail data into facsimile data as necessary, and transmits the converted data to a specified address.
Abstract:
A photocopier comprises an intermediate member that is provided pivotably to the photocopier through a freely pivoting joint and an opening and closing cover that is provided pivotably to the intermediate member through a freely pivoting joint. The intermediate member is connected to the photocopier at one edge of the intermediate member. Further, the opening and closing cover is connected to the intermediate member at other edge opposite to the edge of said intermediate member. When the opening and closing cover is opened, image recording system located within the photocopier is exposed.
Abstract:
A multifunctional printer is provided with an external LCT (Large Capacity Tray) that has an elevator movable in up/down directions, the elevator being empowered by a power supply to a drive mechanism of a body unit. Paper is provided on the elevator to be fed into the body unit. When a sheet of paper remains within the LCT during a paper delivery error, the elevator is lowered to a predetermined location before shutting down the power supply to the drive mechanism in the body unit.
