Abstract
A facsimile apparatus that is capable of connecting to multiple lines including a first line. If a user designates the first line or the second line as a line to be used for image data transmission, the image data is transmitted via the designated line, and if the user designates that the line to be used for the image data transmission is to be automatically selected, image data transmission is performed via the first line. In the case where the image data is not able to be transmitted via the first line, if switching from the first line to the second line is set to be enabled, image data is transmitted via the second line, and if the switching is not set to be enabled, the image data is not transmitted via the second line.
Claims18
A facsimile apparatus capable of connecting to a plurality of lines including a first line and a second line, the facsimile apparatus comprising:
- a first transmission control unit configured to, in a case where a user designates the first line or the second line as a line to be used for transmission of image data, control to transmit the image data via the designated line;
- a second transmission control unit configured to, in a case where the user designates that the line to be used for transmission of the image data is to be automatically selected, control to transmit the image data via the first line, and in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, control to transmit the image data via the second line;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set whether or not to enable switching from the first line to the second line by the second transmission control unit for transmission of the image data,
- wherein in a case where the transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, the second transmission control unit controls, if the switching from the first line to the second line is set to be enabled by the setting unit, to transmit the image data via the second line, and if the switching from the first line to the second line is not set to be enabled by the setting unit, not to transmit the image data via the second line.
A facsimile apparatus capable of connecting to a plurality of lines including a first line and a second line, the facsimile apparatus comprising:
- a first transmission control unit configured to, in a case where a user performs a first designation, transmit image data via the first line, and in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, wait for transmission via the first line to be possible and then transmit the image data via the first line;
- a second transmission control unit configured to, in a case where a user performs a second designation, control to transmit the image data via the first line, and in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, control to transmit the image data via the second line;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set whether or not to enable switching from the first line to the second line by the second transmission control unit for transmission of the image data,
- wherein in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, the second transmission control unit controls, if the switching from the first line to the second line is set to be enabled by the setting unit, to transmit the image data via the second line, and if the switching from the first line to the second line is not set to be enabled by the setting unit, not to transmit the image data via the second line.
A facsimile apparatus capable of connecting to a plurality of lines including a first line and a second line, the facsimile apparatus comprising:
- a first transmission control unit configured to, in a case where a user designates the first line or the second line as a line to be used for transmission of image data, control to transmit the image data via the designated line;
- a second transmission control unit configured to, in a case where the user designates that the line to be used for transmission of the image data is to be automatically selected, control to transmit the image data via the first line, and in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be Performed, control to transmit the image data via the second line;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set whether or not to enable switching from the first line to the second line by the second transmission control unit.
A method of controlling a facsimile apparatus capable of connecting to a plurality of lines including a first line and a second line, the method comprising:
- transmitting the image data via the designated line, in a case where a user designates the first line or the second line as a line to be used for transmission of image data;
- controlling, in a case where the user designates that the line to be used for transmission of the image data is to be automatically selected, to transmit the image data via the first line, and in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, to transmit the image data via the second line;
- and
- setting whether or not to enable switching from the first line to the second line,
- wherein in a case where transmission via the first line is not able so be performed, she controlling step controls, if the switching from the first line to the second line is set to be enabled in the setting step, to transmit the image data via the second line, and if the switching from the first line to the second line is not set to be enabled in the setting step, the controlling step controls not to transmit the image data via the second line.
A method of controlling a facsimile apparatus capable of connecting to a plurality of lines including a first line and a second line, the method comprising:
- transmitting image data via the first line, in a case where a user performs a first designation, and, in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, waiting for transmission via the first line to be possible and then transmitting the image data via the first line;
- controlling, in a case where the user makes a second designation, to transmit the image data via the first line, and in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, to transmit the image data via the second line;
- and
- setting whether or not to enable switching from the first line to the second line,
- wherein in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, the controlling step controls, if the switching from the first line to the second line is set to be enabled in the setting step, to transmit the image data via the second line, and if the switching from the first line to the second line is not set to be enabled in the setting step, the controlling step controls not to transmit the image data via the second line.
A method of controlling a facsimile apparatus capable of connecting to a plurality of lines including a first line and a second line, the method comprising:
- transmitting the image data via the designated line, in a case where a user designates the first line or the second line as a line to be used for transmission of image data;
- controlling, in a case where the user designates that the line to be used for transmission of the image data is to be automatically selected, to transmit the image data via the first line, and in a case where transmission via the first line is not able to be performed, to transmit the image data via the second line;
- and
- setting whether or not to enable switching from the first line to the second line.
