Abstract
A facsimile apparatus includes an image data communication unit that transmits and receives image data, an accumulation unit that accumulates transmitted and received image data, and a transmission unit that transmits the image data accumulated in the accumulation unit to an e-mail address for archiving. A controller determines whether a predetermined execution time is coming and transmits the image data accumulated in the accumulation unit to the transmission unit.
Claims20
A facsimile apparatus comprising:
- an image data communication unit that transmits and receives image data;
- an accumulation unit that accumulates transmitted and received image data;
- a transmission unit that transmits the image data accumulated in the accumulation unit to an e-mail address for archiving;
- and
- a controller that determines whether a predetermined execution time is coming and transmits the image data accumulated in the accumulation unit to the transmission unit.
A facsimile apparatus comprising:
- means for transmitting and receiving image data;
- means for accumulating transmitted and received image data;
- means for transmitting image data accumulated in the means for accumulating to an e-mail address for archiving;
- and
- means for determining wherein a predetermined execution time is coming and controlling so as to transmit the image data accumulated in the means for accumulating by the means for transmitting image data accumulated.
A facsimile apparatus comprising:
- a first transmission unit that transmits e-mails including image data;
- a memory that stores image data transmitted by the image data transmission unit;
- a reception unit that receives a delivery confirmation e-mail of the e-mail transmitted by the first transmission unit;
- a second transmission unit that transmits an e-mail including image data read from memory to an e-mail address for archiving;
- and
- a controller that controls the transmission of e-mails for archiving by the second transmission unit when the reception unit receives the delivery confirmation e-mail.
A facsimile apparatus comprising:
- means for transmitting e-mails including image data;
- means for storing image data transmitted by the means for transmitting e-mails;
- means for receiving a delivery confirmation e-mail of the e-mail transmitted by the means for transmitting e-mails;
- and
- means for transmitting e-mails for archiving including the image data read out from the means for storing to an e-mail address for archiving when the means for receiving receives the delivery confirmation e-mail.
A method for saving image data comprising:
- transmitting and receiving image data;
- accumulating the transmitted and received image data;
- transmitting the accumulated image data to an e-mail address for archiving and determining whether a predetermined execution time is coming and transmitting the accumulated image data.
