  • Publication number: 20220174160
    Abstract: A server controls a status of a document transmitted by facsimile transmission from a sender apparatus to a receiver apparatus. The server includes circuitry that provides, to a request source apparatus, the document in response to receiving an acquisition request specifying the document, transmitted from the request source apparatus being one of the receiver apparatus and a different apparatus from the receiver apparatus. The circuitry controls a status change, between an unread status and a read status, of the document specified by the acquisition request based on information on the request source apparatus and information on the receiver apparatus of the document.
