摘要： A digital multifunction device is provided with a RAM having a virtual drive area. A personal computer is connected to the digital multifunction device and is capable of communicating therewith via a USB interface. The digital multifunction device enables a personal computer to recognize this virtual drive area as an external storage device, and the personal computer can access the virtual drive area. Upon receipt of facsimile data, the digital multifunction device converts one page worth of data to image data of PDF or TIFF format each time the one page worth of data is received. After a full page worth of data have been received and the converted PDT or TIFF image data are put together in a single data file, the data file is written to the virtual drive area.
