Examples to facilitate facsimile communication are described herein. In an example, on receiving a communication error for a call session, values of communication parameters to be used for another call session, which is subsequent to the call session for which the communication error is received, may be determined. The communication parameter may be, for instance, a transmission rate and an error correction mode (ECM). The values of the communication parameters in the subsequent call session may be determined, based on values of these parameters in a previous call session(s), i.e., the call session for which the communication error is received. Further, a communication channel may be established using the determined values of the communication parameters.

An information processing apparatus configured to control a cooperation operation that is to be executed by a first apparatus and a second apparatus, executes: reception processing of receiving the target data from the first apparatus; first determination processing of determining whether the information processing apparatus can communicating with the second apparatus; storing control processing of storing the received target data in a storage unit when it is determined in the first determination processing that the communication unit is in a non-communicable state with the second apparatus; second determination processing of determining whether the information processing apparatus cannot communicate with the second apparatus, after executing the storing control processing; and transmission processing of wirelessly transmitting the target data stored in the storage unit to the second apparatus through the communication unit when the information processing apparatus can communicate with the second apparatus.

An information processing apparatus includes an authenticating unit, a detection unit, and a controller. The authenticating unit authenticates an operator. The detection unit detects whether or not there is any set value that has been changed from an initial value among one or more set values for one or more setting items. The controller performs control so as not to change the one or more set values for the one or more setting items to one or more set values registered for the operator authenticated by the authenticating unit in the case where the detection unit detects that there is any set value that has been changed from the initial value.

Forward error correction is implemented in a facsimile transmission using adaptive redundancy. The depth of redundancy can change based on a number of factors, including lost packet counts, transport type, facsimile modulation type, call history or facsimile engine state changes. Separate redundancy depths can be implemented for image and for control phases of the facsimile call. Redundancy depth can be increased or decreased during a facsimile call, and may be maintained at an increased level once encountered transmission impediments are overcome. Variable redundancy can be provided for specific portions of the call, such as temporarily increased redundancy during control phases. Adaptive redundancy may be implemented at one or more endpoints or nodes in a packet-switched communication network through which the facsimile call passes. The adaptive redundancy contributes to improving successful facsimile call completion in communication networks that may be prone to error losses.

In a case where a user instructs an image forming apparatus to perform processing of sending scanned image data to the user from a mobile terminal, the user needs to input a user's e-mail address on the mobile terminal, which includes an inconvenient operation. From the mobile terminal, the user instructs the image forming apparatus to send the data to the user's e-mail address which is preliminarily registered in the image forming apparatus.
