Abstract
An image processing apparatus that accepts a designation of a transmission setting; converts, in accordance with the transmission setting, image data generated from an original of a plurality of pages by a scanner to one or more files; if a designation for converting one page of image data to one file is made by the transmission setting, controls a network interface to transmit a plurality of files of converted image data in parallel; and if a designation for converting a plurality of pages of image data included in the original to one file is made by the transmission setting, controls the network interface to transmit, for the plurality of pages worth of image data converted to the one file, a subsequent page of image data after transmission of a preceding page of image data ends.
Claims7
An image processing apparatus to perform a file transmission, comprising:
- a scanner;
- a network interface;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor operable to execute the instructions to cause the image processing apparatus to:
- accept a designation of a transmission setting;
- convert, in accordance with the transmission setting, image data generated from an original of a plurality of pages by the scanner to one or more files;
- if a designation for converting one page of image data to one file is made by the transmission setting, control the file transmission to allow a plurality of files of converted image data to be transmitted in parallel via the network interface;
- and
- if a designation for converting a plurality of pages of image data included in the original to one file is made by the transmission setting, control the file transmission, for the plurality of pages worth of image data converted to the one file, to perform transmission of a subsequent page of image data, via the network interface, after transmission of a preceding page of image data ends.
A method of controlling of an image processing apparatus performing a file transmission, having a scanner, the method comprising:
- accepting a designation of a transmission setting;
- converting, in accordance with the transmission setting, image data generated from an original of a plurality of pages by the scanner to one or more files;
- if a designation for converting one page of image data to one file is made by the transmission setting, controlling the file transmission to allow a plurality of files of converted image data to be transmitted in parallel;
- and
- if a designation for converting a plurality of pages of image data included in the original to one file is made by the transmission setting, controlling the file transmission, for the plurality of pages worth of image data converted to the one file, to perform transmission of a subsequent page of image data after transmission of a preceding page of image data ends.
