Abstract: A relay apparatus includes a reception section, a facsimile communication section, and a generation section. From terminal apparatuses having no facsimile transmission functions, the reception section receives facsimile transmission instructions along with pieces of identification information of the terminal apparatuses via a private network. The facsimile communication section performs facsimile transmission via a public network to the outside on the basis of the facsimile transmission instructions received by the reception section. The generation section generates pieces of communication result information about facsimile transmission for the respective pieces of identification information corresponding to the terminal apparatuses when the facsimile communication section performs the facsimile transmission to the outside.

Abstract: An image information communication apparatus includes a communication unit, a permission unit, and a controller. The communication unit communicates image information with an external device in response to receiving a communication request. The permission unit permits the communication request on the basis of a result of comparison between a total band and an overall band. The total band is obtained by adding a communication band necessary for requested communication in the case where the communication unit receives the communication request and a band being used for other communications. The overall band is obtained by converting an image processing capability of the apparatus into a band. The controller controls the communication unit so as to communicate with the external device for the request permitted by the permission unit.

The relay device is communicably connected to the client device via a private network while also being communicably connected to an external device via a public network, includes facsimile transceiving functions that transmit and receive facsimiles via a public network line associated with the client device, and in response to facsimile transmission instructions for image information received from the client device via the private network, transmits to the external device a facsimile of the image information with added information on the public network line associated with the private network.

Abstract: A facsimile machine includes an image data receiving unit, a transmitting subscriber identification receiving unit, and a sorting unit. The image data receiving unit receives image data transmitted from a transmitting facsimile machine. The transmitting subscriber identification receiving unit receives transmitting subscriber identification specified as an arbitrary signal in a Group 3 standard and transmitted from the transmitting facsimile machine. The sorting unit sorts the image data received by the image data receiving unit into at least one of plural storage destinations on the basis of the transmitting subscriber identification received by the transmitting subscriber identification receiving unit and one or more predetermined sorting conditions.

Abstract: A modem transmission level and modem sensitivity which are communication control information corresponding to the connection form of each destination device are registered in advance in a destination information storage unit so as to be correlated with an abbreviated dialing number of the destination. When a communication instruction using an abbreviated dialing number is received, if a modem transmission level and modem sensitivity are registered in the destination information storage unit as corresponding to the received abbreviated dialing number, the modem is controlled based on those registered modem transmission level and modem sensitivity. If neither a modem transmission level or modem sensitivity is registered as corresponding to the received abbreviated dialing number, the modem is controlled according to a modem transmission level and modem sensitivity that are registered in advance in the apparatus.
