Abstract
When an image capturing apparatus connected to a LAN, which is connectable a plurality of terminals, transmits image data obtained by reading an image on an original to a desired terminal on the LAN, the read image is confirmed by, e.g., previewing the image using a display device placed in the vicinity of the image capturing apparatus, and is then transmitted to an actual destination. With this control, an image of a desired format can be easily transmitted even from an image capturing apparatus having no satisfactory image display function to a desired destination.
Claims9
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- reading means for reading image on an original and generating image data based on the image;
- connection means for connecting with a network which is connectable a plurality of terminals;
- transmitting means for transmitting the image data from said reading means to a designated destination through said connection means;
- registering means for registering a preview method which is used to display the image data from said reading means before said transmitting means transmits the image data to said designated destination;
- and
- control means for controlling said transmitting means such that the image data from said reading means is transmitted to said designated destination after the image data is previewed by the preview method registered by said registering means.
A control method of an image capturing apparatus comprising:
- reading step of reading image on an original and generating image data based on the image;
- transmitting step of transmitting the image data generated in the reading step to a designated destination one of a plurality of terminals connected by said image capturing apparatus;
- registering step of registering a preview method which is used to display the image data generated in the reading step before the image data is transmitted to said designated destination in the transmitting step;
- and
- control step of controlling to preview the image data generated in the reading step in accordance with the preview method registered in the registering step, and to then transmit the image data to said designated destination in the transmitting step.
A computer readable program, stored in a storage medium, for controlling an image capturing apparatus comprising:
- reading step of reading image on an original and generating image data based on the image;
- transmitting step of transmitting the image data generated in the reading step to a designated destination one of a plurality of terminals connected by said image capturing apparatus;
- registering step of registering a preview method which is used to display the image data generated in the reading step before the image data is transmitted to said designated destination in the transmitting step;
- and
- control step of controlling to preview the image data generated in the reading step in accordance with the preview method registered in the registering step, and to then transmit the image data to said designated destination in the transmitting step.
