Abstract
A facsimile machine, includes: a receiving unit that receives facsimile image information via a public circuit; an information extraction unit that extracts search information from the facsimile image information received by the receiving unit; an acquisition unit that acquires image information searched from a communication network connected to the facsimile machine, based on the search information extracted by the information extraction unit; and a print unit that prints the image information acquired by the acquisition unit.
Claims9
A facsimile machine, comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives facsimile image information via a public circuit;
- an information extraction unit that extracts search information from the facsimile image information received by the receiving unit;
- an acquisition unit that acquires image information searched from a communication network connected to the facsimile machine, based on the search information extracted by the information extraction unit;
- and
- a print unit that prints the image information acquired by the acquisition unit.
A method for printing, by means of a facsimile machine, comprising:
- receiving facsimile image information via a public circuit;
- extracting search information from the received facsimile image information;
- acquiring, based on the extracted search information, image information searched from a communication network connected to the facsimile machine;
- and
- printing the acquired image information.
A computer-readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for printing, using a facsimile machine, the process comprising:
- extracting search information from facsimile image information received via a public circuit;
- acquiring, based on the extracted search information, image information searched from a communication network connected to the facsimile machine;
- and
- causing a print unit of the facsimile machine to print the acquired image information.
A computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave for enabling a computer to perform a process for printing, using a facsimile machine, the process comprising:
- extracting search information from facsimile image information received via a public circuit;
- acquiring, based on the extracted search information, image information searched from a communication network connected to the facsimile machine;
- and
- causing a print unit of the facsimile machine to print the acquired image information.
