Abstract: An image communication apparatus includes a reception unit for receiving image data, a first controller for storing the image data received by the reception unit in a memory, and counting the page number the reception image data, a recording unit for recording an image on a sheet on the basis of the image data stored in the memory, a storage unit having a plurality of trays for sorting and storing sheets on which images are recorded by the recording unit, the plurality of trays having a first tray having a small sheet stackable number and a second tray having a large sheet stackable number, and a second controller for selecting the first tray when the page number counted by the first controller is equal to or smaller than a predetermined page number, and selecting the second tray when the counted page number is larger than the predetermined page number, thereby storing the sheets.

Abstract: A communication apparatus has a power saving stand-by mode for reducing power consumption during stand-by and a non-ringing call receiving mode for communication without ringing an attached telephone set at the arrival of a call. In the power saving stand-by mode, an operation state of a relay for attaining the non-ringing call receiving mode is held by a stand-by power supply to render both modes compatible to each other.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing apparatus which decodes code data to generate pixel data and prints an image on the basis of the pixel data by using a page printer, such as a laser beam printer, which prints an image on sheets of paper.

Abstract: An image communication apparatus includes a reception unit for receiving image data, a recording unit for recording an image on a sheet on the basis of the image data received by the reception unit, a storage unit having a plurality of trays for sorting and storing sheets on which images are recorded by the recording unit, a determination unit for determining the presence/absence of the sheets stored in the trays, and a controller for sequentially selecting the trays with reference to a predetermined tray to sort and store the sheets on which the images are recorded by the recording unit in the storage unit, and selecting the predetermined tray in accordance with a determination of the absence of the sheets by the determination unit, wherein the determination unit determines that no sheet is present in the trays when it is detected that the sheet is removed and that no sheet is present for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system of a facsimile apparatus and a card-shaped calculator as a portable device to be helped by each user. The telephone number information and other information, which have conventionally registered in the facsimile unit, are stored in the card, which transmits such information to the facsimile unit when the card is set on the facsimile. The transfer of the information between the card and the facsimile unit is conveniently done by photocouplers. The system disperses the information required in the facsimile unit to the individual cards, thereby simplifying the structure and the operation of the facsimile unit. Also the card may be coupled with another facsimile unit so that the card owner can immediately use the registered telephone number information on any facsimile unit.

Abstract: An information transmit/receive apparatus comprises a printer having a sheet feed portion and a sheet discharge portion, an original reader having a sheet feed portion and a sheet discharge portion and a sorter having a sheet entrance port which is connected to the sheet discharge portion of the printer via an adapter for coupling the sheet discharge portion and the sheet entrance port together. The adapter has a transparent portion through which the recording sheet passage in the adapter can be visually observed, whereby a jam of a recording sheet in the adapter portion can be easily observed. A control means performs receive and transmit operations.

Abstract: There is provided a data communicating apparatus such as a facsimile which can use a portable device such as a card-like electronic telephone directory. The apparatus comprises: a receiver to receive a signal from the portable device; a data communicating circuit; a designating device to designate a data communicating mode of the data communicating circuit; a capturing circuit to capture a line; and a controller for driving the capturing circuit so as to capture the line in accordance with a predetermined signal received by the receiver, for transmitting the dial signal to the line, and for controlling the data communicating circuit in accordance with the data communicating mode designated by the designating device. The use functions of the communicating apparatus can be limited from the portable device.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus is improved by providing mounting section for mounting and conveying an ink sheet and a recording medium in good condition, discriminating devices for detecting and discriminating width sizes of the ink sheet and the recording medium, a recording unit for recording an image on the recording medium by effecting the ink sheet, and a control unit for controlling a recording operation according to a detection result obtained through the discriminating devices. The image is thus ready for recording subject to the width sizes of both ink sheet and recording medium being coincident.

The thermal head generates heat during recording in conformity with image information to effect image recording on the thermosensitive recording sheet.

Abstract: In a facsimile communication system, a call signal detecting device for identifying call signals which are received over a network. Both an unsounding call signal and a sounding call signal are detected by a single detection circuitry, which is also responsive to off-hooking of an own station's telephone set. Detection of such signals is implemented by the measurement of a period which is performed by a processing unit, so that changes in the specifications of the signals to be detected can be accommodated merely by modifying a program of the processing system and not the hardware of the device.
