Image reading apparatus, image reading system, image reading control method and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

An image reading apparatus comprising:

• a reading unit that reads an image from a document;
• and
• a controller that controls the reading unit, wherein
• the controller is configured to
• store, in a server apparatus, at least part of image data acquired by reading an image by the reading unit, and
• transmit, to a specified transmission destination, an e-mail with the image data acquired by reading the image by the reading unit or the image data that is stored in the server apparatus when a data size of the image data acquired by reading the image by the reading unit does not exceed an upper limit data size, and
• transmit, to the specified transmission destination, an e-mail with a storage destination, indicating where the image data is stored in the server apparatus when the data size of the image data acquired by reading the image by the reading unit exceeds an upper limit data size.

An image reading system comprising:

• an image reading apparatus that reads an image from a document;
• and
• a server apparatus configured to communicate with the image reading apparatus, wherein
• the image reading apparatus includes a reading unit that reads an image from a document and a controller that controls the reading unit, and wherein
• the controller is configured to
• when a data size of the image data acquired by reading the image by the reading unit does not exceed an upper limit data size, transmit, to a specified transmission destination, an e-mail with the image data acquired by reading an image by the reading unit attached thereto, and
• when a data size of the image data acquired by reading the image by the reading unit exceeds an upper limit data size,
• store, in the server apparatus, at least part of the image data acquired by reading the image by the reading unit, and
• transmit, to a specified transmission destination, an e-mail with a storage destination, indicating where the image data is stored in the server apparatus, attached thereto.

An image reading control method comprising:

• when a data size of image data acquired by reading an image by from a document does not exceed an upper limit data size, a first transmission step of being configured to transmit an e-mail with the image data acquired by reading the image from the document to a specified transmission destination attached thereto;
• when the data size of the image data acquired by reading the image from the document exceeds the upper limit data size,
• a storage step of storing, in a server apparatus, at least part of the image data acquired by reading the image from the document;
• and
• a second transmission step of transmitting, to a specified transmission destination, an e-mail with a storage destination, indicating where the image data is stored in the server apparatus, attached thereto.

An image reading control method comprising:

• a storage step of being configured to store, in a server apparatus, at least part of image data acquired by reading an image from a document;
• a first transmission step of transmitting, to a specified transmission destination, an e-mail with the image data acquired by reading the image from the document or the image data that is stored in the server apparatus attached thereto, when a data size of the image data acquired by reading the image from the document does not exceed an upper limit data size;
• and
• a second transmission step of transmitting, the specified transmission destination, an e-mail with a storage destination, indicating where the image data is stored in the server apparatus, attached thereto, when the data size of the image data acquired by reading the image from the document exceeds the upper limit data size.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program comprising:

• when a data size of image data acquired by reading an image from a document does not exceed an upper limit data size, a first transmission step of being configured to transmit an e-mail with the image data acquired by reading the image from the document to a specified transmission destination attached thereto;
• when the data size of the image data acquired by reading the image from the document exceeds the upper limit data size,
• a storage step of storing, in a server apparatus, at least part of the image data acquired by reading the image from the document;
• and
• a second transmission step of transmitting, to a specified transmission destination, an e-mail with a storage destination, indicating where the image data is stored in the server apparatus, attached thereto.
