Image transmission apparatus and electronic data transmission method for transmitting storage location information of electronic data

An image transmission apparatus comprising:

• an information input unit that inputs predetermined information;
• a memory that stores the input predetermined information as electronic data;
• a communication unit that transmits an electronic mail to a predetermined information processing apparatus;
• a storage location information generating unit that generates storage location information indicating a location where the electronic data is stored;
• a storage location tagged mail generating unit that generates a storage location tagged electronic mail including the storage location information;
• an acquisition request acknowledgment unit that acknowledges an acquisition request to acquire electronic data from the information processing apparatus;
• and
• an electronic data loaded mail generating unit that generates an electronic data loaded mail including the electronic data,
• wherein if the acquisition request acknowledgment unit does not acknowledge the acquisition request of the electronic data from an information processing apparatus serving as a predetermined transmission destination after a predetermined check configuration time has elapsed since transmission of the storage location tagged electronic mail including the storage location information from the communication unit to the information processing apparatus as the predetermined transmission destination, the electronic data loaded mail generating unit generates the electronic data loaded mail including the electronic data, and the communication unit transmits the electronic data loaded mail including the electronic data to the information processing apparatus as the predetermined transmission destination.
