Abstract: Document data is transferred from a facsimile server 118 to a facsimile apparatus 201 to transmit the document data to a plurality of destinations via a communication line 116. The document data is stored in an image memory in the facsimile apparatus 201. A cover page specific to each of the destinations is input from the facsimile server 118 to the facsimile apparatus 201. The facsimile server 118 specifies IDs and the order of transmission of the files so that the cover page is transmitted first, followed by the document data, in a series of information. The facsimile apparatus 201 transmits them to the proper destination in accordance with the cover page. This process is repeated each time a cover page input is made until transmission to all destinations is completed.
