• transmitting, in a transmission step performed by the image forming apparatus, a FAX reception notification which is a notification indicating the reception of the FAX data and includes at least a telephone number of a transmission source of the FAX data to an information processing apparatus;
• receiving, in a notification reception step performed by the information processing apparatus, the FAX reception notification from the image forming apparatus;
• determining, in a new arrival determination step performed by the information processing apparatus, whether or not a new arrival document is present in the storage unit when the FAX reception notification is received from the image forming apparatus;
• and
• displaying, in a setting step performed by the information processing apparatus, the FAX reception notification when it is determined that the new arrival document is absent in the storage unit or setting the telephone number included in the FAX reception notification as a property of the new arrival document when it is determined that the new arrival document is present in the storage unit,
• wherein, in the setting step, a query is made to a user of the information processing apparatus as to whether or not the telephone number included in the FAX reception notification is set as a property of the new arrival document when it is determined in the new arrival determination step that a new arrival document is present in the storage unit, and the telephone number is set as a property of the new arrival document depending on the results of the query.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for making a computer execute:

• receiving, in a notification reception processing, a FAX reception notification which is a notification indicating the reception of FAX data from an image forming apparatus for storing the received FAX data as a document in a storage unit and includes at least a telephone number of a transmission source of the FAX data;
• determining, in a new arrival determination processing, whether or not a new arrival document is present in the storage unit when the FAX reception notification is received;
