Abstract
A facsimile communication system includes a first facsimile device that transmits image data and a second facsimile device. The second facsimile device includes a first receiving unit that receives the image data; an image-forming unit that forms an image based on the image data on a recording medium having a first storing part that is configured to store stored data; and a notifying unit that notifies the first facsimile device of the stored data.
Claims7
A facsimile communication system comprising:
- a first facsimile device configured to transmit image data;
- and
- a second facsimile device comprising:
- a first receiving unit configured to receive the image data from the first facsimile device;
- an image-forming unit configured to form an image based on the image data received from the first facsimile device on a recording medium having a first storing part storing identification data that identifies the recording medium;
- a data reading unit configured to read the identification data from the first storing part in the recording medium on which the image is formed by the image forming unit;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify the first facsimile device of the identification data read from the first storing part in the recording medium after the data reading unit reads the identification data from the first storing part in the recording medium on which the image is formed by the image-forming unit,
- wherein the first facsimile device transmits created data created by the first facsimile device to the second facsimile device,
- wherein the first storing part stores identification data that identifies the recording medium as stored data,
- wherein the second facsimile device manages control data and further comprises:
- a data reading unit that reads the identification data from the first storing part;
- a first data writing unit that writes data to the first storing part;
- and
- a determining unit that determines whether the first storing part is writable or read-only, and
- wherein the first data writing unit writes at least one of control data and the created data to the first storing part as the stored data and the notifying unit notifies the first facsimile device of the at least one of the control data and the created data if the determining unit determines that the first storing part is writable, and the notifying unit notifies the first facsimile device of the identification data if the determining unit determines that the first storing part is read-only.

A facsimile device comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive image data from a transmission-side facsimile device;
- an image-forming unit configured to form an image based on the image data received from the transmission-side facsimile device on a recording medium having a storing part storing identification data identifying the recording medium;
- a data reading unit configured to read the identification data from the storing part in the recording medium on which the image is formed by the image-forming unit;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify the transmission-side facsimile device of the identification data read from the first storing part in the recording medium after the data reading unit reads the identification data from the first storing part in the recording medium on which the image is formed by the image-forming unit,
- wherein the facsimile device receives created data created by the transmission-side facsimile device,
- wherein the storing part stores identification data that identifies the recording medium as stored data,
- wherein the facsimile device manages control data and further comprises:
- a data reading unit that reads the identification data from the storing part;
- a data writing unit that writes data to the storing part;
- and
- a determining unit that determines whether the storing part is writable or read-only, and
- wherein the data writing unit writes at least one of control data and the created data to the storing part as the stored data and the notifying unit notifies the transmission-side facsimile device of the at least one of the control data and the created data if the determining unit determines that the storing part is writable, and the notifying unit notifies the transmission-side facsimile device of the identification data if the determining unit determines that the storing part is read-only.
