Abstract
A communication apparatus determines whether a file selected by a file selection unit is of a format analyzable by the communication apparatus. If it is determined that the file selected by the file selection unit is not of the format analyzable by the communication apparatus, the communication apparatus restricts selection of a predetermined protocol included in a plurality of protocols. The communication apparatus further determines whether the protocol selected by a protocol selection unit is a predetermined protocol. If it is determined that the protocol selected by the protocol selection unit is the predetermined protocol, the communication apparatus restricts selection of a file of a format not analyzable by the communication apparatus.
Claims11
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing a computer program for an apparatus, the computer program comprising:
- a code to receive, from a user, selection of a transmission method from among a plurality of methods, the plurality of transmission methods including a facsimile transmission method and a certain transmission method which is different from the facsimile transmission method;
- a code to receive, from the user, selection of at least one file to be transmitted by the facsimile transmission method from among a plurality of files stored in a storage, in a case where the facsimile transmission method is selected;
- a code to cause, based on a first type of a first file and a second type of a second file included in the plurality of files stored in the storage in a case where the facsimile transmission method is selected, a display to perform display so that the user is not able to select the first file of the first type and the user is able to select the second file of the second type, the first type being a type of a file which the apparatus is not able to transmit by the facsimile transmission method, the second type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the facsimile transmission method;
- and
- a code to cause, in a case where the certain transmission method is selected, the display to perform display so that the user is able to select the first file of the first type and the user is able to select the second file of the second type, the first type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the certain transmission method, the second type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the certain transmission method.

A control method for an apparatus, comprising:
- receiving, from a user, selection of a transmission method from among a plurality of transmission methods, the plurality of transmission methods including a facsimile transmission method and a certain transmission method which is different from the facsimile transmission method;
- receiving, from the user, selection of at least one file to be transmitted by the facsimile transmission method from among a plurality of files stored in a storage;
- causing, based on a first type of a first file and a second type of a second file included in the plurality of files stored in the storage in a case where the facsimile transmission method is selected, a display to perform display so that the user is not able to select the first file of the first type and the user is able to select the second file of the second type, the first type being a type of a file which the apparatus is not able to transmit by the facsimile transmission method, the second type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the facsimile transmission method;
- and
- causing, in a case where the certain transmission method is selected, the display to perform display so that the user is able to select the first file of the first type and the user is able to select the second file of the second type, the first type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the certain transmission method, the second type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the certain transmission method.
2 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor causing the apparatus to act as:
- a user interface that receives, from a user, selection of a transmission method from among a plurality of transmission methods, the plurality of transmission methods including a facsimile transmission method and a certain transmission method which is different from the facsimile transmission method and receives, from storage user, selection of at least one file to be transmitted by a facsimile transmission method from among a plurality of files stored in a storage;
- and
- a controller that causes, based on a first type of a first file and a second type of a second file included in the plurality of files stored in the storage in a case where the facsimile transmission method is selected, a display to perform display so that the user is not able to select the first file of the first type and the user is able to select the second file of the second type, the first type being a type of a file which the apparatus is not able to transmit by the facsimile transmission method, the second type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the facsimile transmission method;
- and
- wherein the controller causes, in a case where the certain transmission method is selected, the display to perform display so that the user is able to select the first file of the first type and the user is able to select the second file of the second type, the first type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the certain transmission method, the second type being a type of a file which the apparatus is able to transmit by the certain transmission method.
