Abstract:
When facsimile data of a transmitter's facsimile is received in a facsimile apparatus, a facsimile number specifying the transmitter's facsimile and a receiver's electronic mail address included in the facsimile data are recognized in a CPU, a user's name specifying a transmitter's electronic mail address in the facsimile apparatus is generated in a mail address generating unit according to the facsimile number, an image format of the facsimile data is converted into a mail format of electronic mail data, the user's name, the facsimile number and the receiver's electronic mail address are added to the electronic mail data, and the electronic mail data is transmitted from the facsimile apparatus to the receiver. Therefore, even though a transmission error occurs in the electronic mail data and error information is returned to the facsimile apparatus, the transmitter's facsimile can be specified according to the user's name, and the error information can be correctly transmitted to the transmitter's facsimile.
Abstract:
A communication result notifying method for notifying a result of a process result in a facsimile machine or a printing machine to a notification destination node, comprises the following steps. A step of obtaining an e-mail address of the notification destination node from facsimile data or print, received via a LAN from a requesting node, a step of detecting a result of a process result in the facsimile machine or printing machine, and a step of notifying the detected process result to the e-mail address of the notification destination node.
Abstract:
A particular image written in a particular paper of a particular paper size is scanned by a scanner to produce image data, a format of the image data is changed to a mail format to change the image data to mail data, the particular paper size is added to the mail data, and the mail data is transmitted from a transmitting side to a receiving side through a LAN by an electronic mail. In the receiving side, the mail data is changed to reproduced image data, and it is judged whether or not the particular paper size of the particular paper is larger than a prescribed paper size treatable on the receiving side. In cases where the particular paper size is larger than the prescribed paper size, the reproduced image data is thinned out to produce adjusted image data, and a downsized image is printed on a prescribed paper of the prescribed paper size according to the adjusted image data. Accordingly, even though an image written in a paper of a paper size not treatable on the receiving side is transmitted from the transmitting side to the receiving side, because the image is downsized, the image can be reproduced on the receiving side.
