An Internet facsimile apparatus, comprising:
- a network communication unit for communicating with an external apparatus in direct SMTP via a network;
- a printing unit for printing image data received through said network communication unit from the external apparatus;
- and
- a response mode selecting unit for selecting/setting either “Quick Response mode” to send a response right after image data reception or “Post-processing Response mode” to send a response after image data printing is completed when image data sent by direct SMTP communication is received through said network communication unit.
A communication processing method, comprising the steps of:
- communicating with an external apparatus in direct SMTP via a network;
- printing image data received from the external apparatus by the direct SMTP communication;
- and
- selecting/setting either “Quick Response mode” to send a response right after image data reception or “Post-processing Response mode” to send a response after image data printing is completed when image data sent by direct SMTP communication is received.
A communication processing program stored on a computer readable medium for making a computer execute the steps of:
- communicating with an external apparatus in direct SMTP via a network;
- printing image data received from the external apparatus by the direct SMTP communication;
- and
- selecting/setting either “Quick Response mode” to send a response right after image data reception or “Post-processing Response mode” to send a response after image data printing is completed when image data sent by direct SMTP communication is received.
