Abstract: An object of the invention is to effectively prevent erroneous transmission data from being repeatedly transmitted at the time of transmitting data. At the time of data transmission, the user designates a transmission destination from a transmission destination registration table (D1) in a storing unit (23). To achieve the object, a display control unit (313) determines whether or not error information is associated with the designated transmission destination in the transmission destination registration table (D1). If the error information is associated, an error notification is displayed on a display (12) to notify the user of the occurrence of the error and to stimulate the user to counter the error. When the data transmitting apparatus (1) receives an E-mail, an error determining unit (314) determines whether the E-mail is an error mail or not. If it is an error mail, error information is added to the transmission destination registration table (D1).
