  • Patent number: 7170630
    Abstract: A communication terminal device capable of efficiently using an image memory for storing a received image when performing both-side receiving by using both-side receiving function. A main control unit makes an image memory store the received image when performing both-side receiving via a communication unit by a continuous mode. When images of two pages that are in the relationship of a front page and a back page are present in the image memory, the images of the two pages are recorded on both sides of a sheet by a recording unit, and are erased from the image memory.

  • Patent number: 6947165
    Abstract: A communication terminal device having an image memory (21) which does not overflow even if it accepts data during an interrupted condition. When an interruption key (14) on an operation panel (13) is pressed, the communication terminal device enters an interrupt condition. During the interrupt condition, the device receives data through its NCU (19) and modem (20) and stores it in the image memory. If a user inputs no instructions to the device from the operation panel (13) for a predetermined period during the interrupt condition, a printer (16) is caused to print the image stored in the image memory (21). Thus, the image memory has a room for newly coming data, and does not overflow. If the interrupt process needs to use the printer (16), the printing by the printer is stopped, and the interrupt process is given priority.

  • Patent number: 5663804
    Abstract: Transportation of a document (P1), transportation of a recording sheet (P2), activation of a cutter system and simultaneous transportation of the document (P1) and recording sheet (P2) are carried out by a single motor (M) in an image processor (1). A first pendulum gear mechanism (16) selectively transmits the drive force of the motor (M) to a separation roller gear (g12) and a feed roller gear (g14), to a platen roller gear (g20) or to a second pendulum gear mechanism (g17). The second pendulum gear mechanism (17) continues or stops transmission of the rotational force of the motor (M) from the first pendulum gear mechanism (16) to a cutter drive gear (g28). Second and third contact parts (40c, 40d) of a regulating plate (40) regulate movement of the first pendulum gear mechanism (16) and change the transmission destination of the rotational force of the motor (M). The position of the regulating plate (40) and the rotation direction of the motor (M) are controlled by a CPU (50).
