Facsimile data processing apparatus

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile data processing apparatus in which the conversion time from image data into transmission code is reduced.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile data processing apparatus in which the required capacity of an image data memory for a given message can be reduced.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile data processing apparatus in which the transmitting time is reduced.
According to the present invention, there is provided a facsimile data processing apparatus connectable to a host computer, comprising: received code memory means for receiving and storing printer control code and character code output from the host computer; first conversion means for converting the character code, stored in said received code memory means, into image data; second conversion means for converting the converted image data into transmission code; detecting means for detecting the last character code of a page stored in said received code memory means; and return code adding means for adding a return code following the transmission code for the last character code detected by said detecting means.
According to the above structure, a return code is added following the transmission code for the last character code.
Therefore, any space following the last character line on a page is neither converted into image data nor converted into transmission code thus reducing the conversion time as well as the message transmitting time.
