Abstract: Providing facsimile communications in a system wherein an originating facsimile terminal equipment (FTE) connects to an intermediate digital network of unknown and unpredictable delay via an originating facsimile interface unit (FIU) and wherein a destination FTE connects to the network via a destination FIU. The originating FTE sends data to the destination FTE via the originating FIU. The originating FIU sends the data to the destination FIU. While the destination FIU is waiting for data from the originating FTE, the destination FIU sends made-up data to the destination FTE to prevent protocol timeouts of the destination FTE. The FTEs operate under the G3 protocol. The made up data is either fill data or stall data, depending on the amount of data accumulated at the destination FIU and on the types of network delays.

Abstract: The respective ones of a plurality of print job data (jobs) thrown in the printer are independently managed according to job identifying information. The job management signifies, for example, to grasp the progressive states of the jobs and present them to a user or give a predetermined command (cancel command, etc) to a particular job. In the printer connected to an exclusive interface, such as a serial interface, a parallel interface or a USB interface, print job data is extracted, on a job-unit basis, from among a series of reception data received from the host machine. Job identifying information is assigned to the extracted print job data. Also, in the printer connected to a network, job identifying information is assigned to the reception data received from the host machine and logically distinguished as print job data.

Abstract: Pixel information and control information transmitted by a facsimile machine 1a is received by a procedure controlling circuit 13 having a MODEM 13a for facsimile machines. A facsimile procedure controller 14 decodes the pixel information and the control information. A connection/transfer controller 15 edits the decoded information and produces a control packet and a pixel packet. The control packet and the pixel packet are output to a local area network (LAN) 4 via a LAN controller 17 and a LAN control circuit 18. When receiving a facsimile, the control packet signal transmitted via the LAN 4 is converted into pixel control information by the connection/transfer controller 15, and the pixel control information is supplied to the facsimile procedure controller 14. The connection/transfer controller 15 also converts the received pixel packet signal into pixel information. The pixel information is temporarily stored in a memory 16.

Abstract: An Internet facsimile apparatus makes inquiry about capability, which a destination possesses, to a local server.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facsimile device that is connectable to a plurality of lines. When a facsimile transmission is made, information regarding the transmission source (the facsimile number, the sender's name and the like) is normally transmitted as TSI signals or as a part of the image data (TTI) to the receiver side. According to the present invention,TTI information (line information) can be set for each of a plurality of lines and a particular item of the line information can be selected as desired. Thus, the same line information (TTI information) can be transmitted over all the lines when a simultaneous broadcasting transmission is made using a plurality of lines. In addition, when some lines are used exclusively for transmission and some are used exclusively for reception, any confusion of the TTI on the receiver side will be avoided because misuse of the sender's dedicated transmission lines for reception of a return fax from the original receiving side can be reliably avoided.

Abstract: A printer requests a host computer to transfer dummy data, counts a transfer time of the dummy data transferred in response to the request, and calculates a data transfer rate based on the counted transfer time. A time e required for reception of printing data for one page is calculated based on the data transfer rate f, and is compared with a rise time of a scanner. If f>e, the scanner is immediately started. If f≦e, the scanner is started with a timing such that the rotation speed of the scanner reaches a predetermined speed at the same time as completion of the reception of printing data. When reception of compressed data has been started, a printer controller transmits a scanning start command to a printer engine without awaiting completion of the reception of the compressed data. The printer engine starts to rotate the scanner in accordance with the scanning start command.

Abstract: A Protocol Fax Box (PFB) receives information, determines destinations for the information, and converts the information protocol and data, if necessary, for transmission to the destinations. The PFB has plural interfaces from which it receives and sends data. Upon receiving information on one of its interfaces, the PFB creates a set of objects for handling the transfer of the information from the incoming interface to an outgoing, or destination, interface. A source object handles the incoming communication, a session object handles destination determination, and a destination object handles protocol conversion from the source interface to the destination interface. The session object also logs information regarding each session. The PFB may use a client server model to download information as needed from a network, or have processing be performed on the network.

The fax detector operates by detecting the preamble of a V.21 message, present at the beginning of every fax call. Energy is measured in both frequencies of the BFSK signals. A decision is made by analyzing these energies and locating a specific pattern which repeats itself a sufficient number of times.

The node (14) then decompresses and de-encrypts the image and converts it to a facsimile image for transmission to a destination fax (20) in a normal mode over a local PSTN (22). A node (12) operates as a central node which can also receive the transmission for routing directly to the fax or for directing via another network link to the node (14).
