A control method for an image forming apparatus configured to perform transmission of information includes performing retransmission of the information a predetermined number of times in a case where the transmission of the information fails, wherein an entry about the retransmission of the information is added to a notification table managed by the image forming apparatus, clearing the entry from the notification table, in a case where the retransmission of the information is completed the predetermined number of times or a case where the image forming apparatus receives a response to the retransmission of the information, and clearing the entry from the notification table in a case where user information necessary for the retransmission of the information is changed.

An image communication apparatus includes a transmission information receiver, a document controller, and a document transmitter. The transmission information receiver receives transmission information from a mobile terminal. The transmission information includes registration information of the mobile terminal and an instruction to transmit a document image. The document controller determines one of a document and the document image both corresponding to the registration information, when the transmission information receiver receives the transmission information. The document transmitter transmits one of the document image and a read image of the document, on the basis of the determination made by the document controller.
