Abstract
Abstract A facsimile communication data recording apparatus includes a storage for memorizing various administrant data annexed to video data read from an original document. At every communication, administrant data are stored in the storage and, upon an increase thereof to a predetermined amount, a received data recording section of the apparatus is energized to print out the administrant data which are read from the storage. When all the administrant data are fully printed out without any trouble, the administrant data in the storage are cleared. In a preferred embodiment, a key switch for commanding an administrant data print-out operation is positioned in a suitable accessible part of the apparatus so that administrant data can be printed out selectively by closing the key switch. The data read from the storage are printed out within a predetermined area of a paper sheet in a variable arrangement which conforms to an amount of the stored data. Administrant data can be read from the storage and printed out as those concerning transmission and those concerning reception separately from each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A facsimile communication data recording apparatus for a facsimile transceiver having a transmitter and a receiver provided with a printing means, comprising: a central processing unit connected to the facsimile transceiver for controlling reading/writing operation of administrant data which is generated by the facsimile transceiver during operation thereof; memory means connected to the central processing unit for storing the administrant data at each time of communication by the facsimile transceiver; and control means for controlling the memory means and the printing means such that the administrant data stored in the memory means are read by the central processing unit and printed out by the printing means when an amount of the administrant data stored in the memory means reaches a predetermined value.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A facsimile communication data recording apparatus for a facsimile transceiver having a transmitter and a receiver provided with a printing means, comprising: a central processing unit connected to the facsimile transceiver for controlling reading/writing operation of administrant data which is generated by the facsimile transceiver during operation thereof; memory means connected to the central processing unit for storing the administrant data at each time of communication by the facsimile transceiver; and control means for controlling the memory means and the printing means such that the administrant data stored in the memory means are read by the central processing unit and printed out by the printing means when an amount of the administrant data stored in the memory means reaches a predetermined value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the administrant data comprise those concerned with transmission and those concerned with reception, the control means being constructed to control the printing means to print out the transmission data and the reception data separately from each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the control means is constructed to control the printing means to print out the administrant data on a paper sheet within a predetermined area thereon and in an arrangement which is determined by an amount of the administrant data stored in the memory means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the control means comprises an actuating means for actuating the printing means when the amount of the administrant data stored in the memory means reaches the predetermined value.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 4, in which the actuating means is constructed to actuate the printing means to print out the administrant data stored therein response to a print out command signal which is produced before the amount of the data reaches the predetermined value.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
56 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 5, in which the facsimile transceiver comprises an operation board provided with a print out key switch, the print out command signal being produced when the print out key switch is depressed, the actuating means being actuated in response to the print out command signal to drive the printing means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
44 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the control means is constructed to control the memory means such that the administrant data stored in the memory means are cleared after the data have been printed out by the printing means without failure.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the memory means comprises a random access memory for storing the administrant data.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 8, in which the random access memory comprises a non-volatile memory.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
49 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the facsimile administrant data comprise at least one of an identification number of another station, communication opening and closing times, a number of communicated documents, an occurrence of an error in communication, a communication speed or rate, and a resolution.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which said amount of administrant data is constituted by a number of character lines of the data.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 11, in which the control means comprises means for discriminating the administrant data and counting the character lines thereof.
