Abstract
A facsimile transmission system includes circuitry to receive, from a user, a request for facsimile transmission of a document, and determine which one of first facsimile transmission and second facsimile transmission is to be performed, based on one of an attribute of the user, an attribute of a destination of the facsimile transmission, and an attribute of the document. The first facsimile transmission is transmitting the document by an image forming apparatus, and the second facsimile transmission is transmitting the document by a facsimile server. The circuitry further instructs to perform the one of the first facsimile transmission and the second facsimile transmission.
Claims9
A facsimile transmission system comprising circuitry configured to:
- receive, from a user, a request for facsimile transmission of a document;
- determine which one of first facsimile transmission and second facsimile transmission is to be performed, based on one of an attribute of the user, an attribute of a destination of the facsimile transmission, and an attribute of the document,
- the first facsimile transmission being transmitting the document by an image forming apparatus,
- the second facsimile transmission being transmitting the document by a facsimile server;
- and
- instruct to perform the one of the first facsimile transmission and the second facsimile transmission, wherein
- the attribute of the user includes setting information indicating an attribute to be prioritized among the attribute of the user, the attribute of the destination, and the attribute of the document, and
- the circuitry is further configured to determine which one of the first facsimile transmission and the second facsimile transmission is to be performed based on the attribute to be prioritized.
A facsimile transmission method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, a request for facsimile transmission of a document;
- determining which one of first facsimile transmission and second facsimile transmission is to be performed, based on one of an attribute of the user, an attribute of a destination of the facsimile transmission, and an attribute of the document,
- the first facsimile transmission being transmitting the document by an image forming apparatus,
- the second facsimile transmission being transmitting the document by a facsimile server;
- and
- instructing to perform the one of the first facsimile transmission and the second facsimile transmission, wherein
- the attribute of the user includes setting information indicating an attribute to be prioritized among the attribute of the user, the attribute of the destination, and the attribute of the document, and
- in the determining, which one of the first facsimile transmission and the second facsimile transmission is to be performed is determined based on the attribute to be prioritized.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the plurality of processors to perform a facsimile transmission method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, a request for facsimile transmission of a document;
- determining which one of first facsimile transmission and second facsimile transmission is to be performed, based on one of an attribute of the user, an attribute of a destination of the facsimile transmission, and an attribute of the document,
- the first facsimile transmission being transmitting the document by an image forming apparatus,
- the second facsimile transmission being transmitting the document by a facsimile server;
- and
- instructing to perform the one of the first facsimile transmission and the second facsimile transmission, wherein
- the attribute of the user includes setting information indicating an attribute to be prioritized among the attribute of the user, the attribute of the destination, and the attribute of the document, and
- in the determining, which one of the first facsimile transmission and the second facsimile transmission is to be performed is determined based on the attribute to be prioritized.
