A communication apparatus is connected to an external apparatus in a connection mode selected from a plurality of connection modes including a first connection mode in which an external apparatus is connected in accordance with a predetermined operation on the communication apparatus and a second connection mode in which an external apparatus is connected in accordance with an operation whose operation amount is smaller than the predetermined operation. The communication apparatus has a plurality of operation modes to select at least one of contents saved in a recording medium. When connecting the external apparatus in the second connection mode, an operation mode in which the contents are selected based on the operation on the external apparatus is selected out of the plurality of operation modes.

A system that enables a user to grasp processing status of image data easily. The system includes an image processing apparatus, a server apparatus, and an information terminal. The image processing apparatus includes a reception unit that receives image data through fax, and a transmission unit that transmits the image data received by the reception unit to the server apparatus. The server apparatus includes a transfer unit that transfers the image data to the information terminal. The information terminal includes a display unit that displays image data transferred by the transfer unit. The display unit displays information showing that a reply to the image data is completed at a position that does not overlap with the image data.

An information processing apparatus connectable to one or more devices via a network. The apparatus includes a measuring unit measuring an inclination of the apparatus; a determining unit determining whether the inclination of the apparatus relative to a given surface of one of the one or more devices is within a predetermined inclination range; a receiving unit that receives radio waves; an obtaining unit obtaining identification information from the radio waves; a radio wave strength measuring unit measuring strength of the radio waves; a selection unit determining whether to select a given one of the one or more devices based on the strength of the radio waves; and a connection unit connecting the information processing apparatus to one of the one or more devices selected by the selection unit and for which the inclination of the apparatus is within the predetermined inclination range.

A communication apparatus capable of selecting proper facsimile communication according to a gateway of a connection destination. A communication apparatus that performs facsimile communication via a gateway connected to an IP network establishes a voice session for performing voice communication, with the gateway. When a T.38 session establishment request is received after the voice session has been established, the voice session is changed to the T.38 session to perform facsimile communication using T.38 communication. When the T.38 session establishment request is not received after the voice session has been established, facsimile communication using inband communication is performed by the voice session.

A communication apparatus is connected to an external apparatus in a connection mode selected from a plurality of connection modes including a first connection mode in which an external apparatus is connected in accordance with a predetermined operation on the communication apparatus and a second connection mode in which an external apparatus is connected in accordance with an operation whose operation amount is smaller than the predetermined operation. The communication apparatus has a plurality of operation modes to select at least one of contents saved in a recording medium. When connecting the external apparatus in the second connection mode, an operation mode in which the contents are selected based on the operation on the external apparatus is selected out of the plurality of operation modes.

An image forming apparatus includes a first connection portion, a second connection portion, a communication processing portion, a switch processing portion, and a connection determination processing portion. To the switch processing portion, the first connection portion and the second connection portion are connected in parallel. The switch processing portion breaks a communication path between the second connection portion and the switch processing portion when the facsimile communication process is executed by the communication processing portion. The connection determination processing portion, when a predetermined determination start condition is satisfied, causes the switch processing portion to break the communication path, and then when a predetermined line voltage is applied to the switch processing portion, determines that a connection between the first connection portion and the public switched telephone network is normal.

A portable terminal may display a first screen for receiving a first inputting operation and a second inputting operation on a display. The portable terminal may transmit first scan instruction information to the image processing device. The portable terminal may receive the first scan image data generated by the scan process from the image processing device. The portable terminal may generating first FAX image setting information that reflects the scan image setting information. The portable terminal may display, on the display, a second screen including a first setting image indicating the first FAX image setting information and a preview image of the first scan image data. The portable terminal may generate first FAX image data. The portable terminal may transmit first FAX instruction information and the first FAX image data to the image processing device.
