Claims
- 1. A facsimile machine comprising:
- receiving means for receiving image information of a document transferred via a line to said facsimile machine;
- image memory means for storing said image information received by said receiving means;
- image recording means, coupled to said image memory means, for reading out said image information from said image memory means and for recording said image information read out from said image memory means on a recording medium;
- detecting means for detecting first image information, which corresponds to one or more pages of said document, and which has been normally recorded by said image recording means when said recording means interrupts the recording of the image information;
- destination memory means for storing a predetermined destination;
- redirection means for redirecting the first image information which has been normally recorded and which is stored in said image memory means to said predetermined destination stored in said destination memory means; and
- first erasing means for erasing said first image information detected by said detecting means from said image memory means,
- so that only second image information, which corresponds to one or more pages of said document, and which is not yet recorded by said recording means and which is not yet redirected to said predetermined destination is maintained in said image memory means.
- 2. A facsimile machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said image recording means records the image information related to each page on a recording sheet, and wherein said detecting means has a storage means for storing the number of pages related to the first image information detected by said detecting means, said first erasing means erasing the image information from said memory means on the basis of the number of pages stored in said storage means so that the first image information detected by said detecting means is erased from said image memory means.
- 3. A facsimile machine as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:
- control means for supplying said second image information maintained in said image memory means to said recording means when said recording means resumes recording the image information, so that the image recording means records said second image information on said recording medium; and
- second erasing means for erasing said second image information from said image memory means after said second image information has been entirely recorded by said recording means.
- 4. A facsimile machine comprising:
- receiving means for receiving image information of a document transferred via a line to said facsimile machine;
- image memory means for storing said image information of said document received by said receiving means;
- image recording means, coupled to said image memory means, for reading out said image information of said document from said image memory means and for recording said image information of said document read out from said image memory means on a recording medium;
- determining means for determining whether or not said image recording means is normally recording said image information of said document on said recording medium;
- detecting means for detecting a first portion corresponding to one or more pages of said image information of said document which has been normally recorded by said image recording means when the recording of the image information of said document is interrupted due to a determination result of said determining means which signifies that said recording means is not normally recording said image information of said document;
- destination memory means for storing a predetermined destination;
- redirection means for redirecting the first image information which has been normally recorded and which is stored in said image memory means to said predetermined destination stored in said destination memory means; and
- first erasing means for erasing, from said image memory means, said first portion of said image information of said document detected by said detecting means prior to resumption of normal recording by the recording means,
- so that only a second portion corresponding to one or more pages of said image information of said document which has not yet been recorded by said recording means and which is not yet redirected to said predetermined destination is maintained in said memory means, and wherein only said second portion of said image information is output from said image memory means to said recording means upon said resumption of normal recording by said recording means.
- 5. A facsimile machine as claimed in claim 4, wherein said determining means determines whether or not said recording means is normally recording the image information of said document corresponding to each of a plurality of pages onto said recording medium.
- 6. A facsimile machine as claimed in claim further comprising:
- control means for supplying said second portion of said image information maintained in said image memory means to said recording means when said recording means resumes recording the image information of said document, so that the image recording means records said second portion of said image information on said recording medium; and
- second erasing means for erasing said second portion of said image information from said image memory means after said second portion of said image information has been entirely recorded by said recording means,
- wherein said determining means determines whether or not said recording means is normally recording the image information of said document corresponding to each of a plurality of pages onto said recording medium, and wherein a control means supplies said second portion of said image information starting from a page at which it is determined by said determining means that the recording means was interrupted.
- 7. A facsimile machine comprising:
- receiving means for receiving image information of a document transferred via a line to said facsimile machine;
- image memory means for storing said image information of said document received by said receiving means;
- image recording means, coupled to said image memory means, for reading out said image information of said document from said image memory means and for recording said image information of said document read out from said image memory means onto a recording medium;
- determining means for determining whether or not said image recording means is normally recording said image information of said document onto said recording medium;
- detecting means for detecting a first portion corresponding to one or more pages of said image information of said document which has been normally recorded by said image recording means when the recording of the image information of said document is interrupted due to a determination result by said determining means which signifies that said recording means is not normally recording said image information of said document;
- first erasing means for erasing, from said image memory means, said first portion of said image information of said document detected by said detecting means prior to a resumption of normal recording by the recording means; and
- redirection transferring means for redirecting said image information of said document to a destination facsimile, wherein upon said determination result by said determining means that said recording means is not normally recording said image information of said document, said redirection transferring means redirects said first portion of said image information of said document stored in said image memory means which has normally recorded to said destination facsimile and upon completion of said redirecting of all of said first portion of said image information of said document to said destination facsimile, said first erasing means erases said first portion of said image information from said image memory means so that only a second portion corresponding to one or more pages of said image information of said document which has not yet been recorded by said recording means and which has not yet been redirected to said destination facsimile is maintained in said image memory means, and wherein only said second portion of said image information is output from said image memory means to said recording means upon resumption of normal recording by said recording means.
