Abstract
An image forming apparatus that enables to output a transmission result report without confusing a user even if a part of printing mechanisms or a printing function is broken. A report output unit generates a transmission result report showing a result of transmission of image data and causes the printing unit to output the transmission result report. A setting unit sets whether to add a part of the transmitted image data to the transmission result report as an additional image. A control unit creates and outputs the transmission result report without adding the additional image even if the setting unit sets to add the additional image, when the transmitted image data is the color image and when the printing unit cannot print a color image and can print a monochrome image.
Claims10
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a printing unit capable of printing a color image and a monochrome image;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit image data to a transmission address;
- a generating unit configured to generate a transmission result report showing a result of transmission by said transmission unit, wherein the transmission result report is a monochrome image;
- a setting unit configured to set whether to add at least a part of the image data transmitted by said transmission unit to the transmission result report as an additional image;
- a determining unit configured to determine, when printing the transmission result report, whether or not said printing unit can print a color image;
- and
- a control unit configured to control said printing unit to print the transmission result report without adding the additional image even if said setting unit sets to add the additional image, when the image data transmitted by said transmission unit is a color image and when said determining unit determines that said printing unit cannot print a color image.
A control method of an image forming apparatus including a printing unit capable of printing a color image and a monochrome image and a transmission unit configured to transmit image data to a transmission address, the control method comprising:
- a generating step of generating a transmission result report showing a result of transmission by the transmission unit, wherein the transmission result report is a monochrome image;
- a setting step of setting whether to add at least a part of the image data transmitted by the transmission unit to the transmission result report as an additional image;
- and
- a determining unit configured to determine, when printing the transmission result report, whether or not said printing unit can print a color image;
- a control step of controlling said printing unit to print the transmission result report without adding the additional image even if it is set to add the additional image in said setting step, when the image data transmitted by the transmission unit is a color image and when the determining step determines that said printing unit cannot print a color image.
A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a control program for causing a computer to execute a control method of an image forming apparatus including a printing unit capable of printing a color image and a monochrome image and a transmission unit configured to transmit image data to a transmission address, the method comprising:
- a generating step of generating a transmission result report showing a result of transmission by the transmission unit, wherein the transmission result report is a monochrome image;
- a setting step of setting whether to add at least a part of the image data transmitted by the transmission unit to the transmission result report as an additional image;
- and
- a determining unit configured to determine, when printing the transmission result report, whether or not said printing unit can print a color image;
- a control step of controlling said printing unit to print the transmission result report without adding the additional image even if it is set to add the additional image in said setting step, when the image data transmitted by the transmission unit is a color image and when the determining step determines that said printing unit cannot print a color image.
