• wherein the image acquiring unit determines whether the image data should be divided or not on the basis of a size of the image data;
• and if the image acquiring unit determines that the image data should be divided, then the image acquiring unit divides the image data into plural pieces of divisional image data and generates plural image files respectively including the plural pieces of divisional image data so as to cause a size of one image file to be equal to or less than a predetermined uppermost value;
• and
• the condition determining unit selects (a) network identifiers of the image files or (b) a network identifier of the specific folder, on the basis of the number of the image files including the plural pieces of the divisional image data.
