Abstract

A transmission system includes a first fax apparatus, and a second fax apparatus, wherein the first fax apparatus includes a transmission unit that performs fax communication, and an acquisition unit that acquires information by decoding code information included in image data, wherein the transmission unit transmits the image data and the acquired information via the fax communication, and wherein the second fax apparatus includes a reception unit that performs the fax communication, a generation unit that generates code information by encoding the information received by the reception unit via the fax communication, an addition unit that adds the generated code information to the image data received by the reception unit, and a printing unit that prints an image on a sheet based on image data obtained by adding the generated code information to the received image data.

Claims (15)

1. A transmission system comprising:

a first fax apparatus; and

a second fax apparatus,

wherein the first fax apparatus includes a first communicator that performs fax communication, and a first controller that acquires information by decoding code information included in image data,

wherein the first communicator transmits the image data and the acquired information via the fax communication, and

wherein the second fax apparatus includes a second communicator that performs the fax communication, a second controller that generates code information by encoding the information received by the second communicator via the fax communication, and adds the generated code information to the image data received by the second communicator, and a printer that prints an image on a sheet based on image data obtained by the second controller adding the generated code information to the image data received by the second communicator,

wherein, in a case where the second communicator receives the image data, the acquired information and position information from the first fax apparatus, the second controller adds the generated code information to a position indicated by the position information received by the second communicator, the position being a position on an image of the image data, and

wherein, in a case where the second communicator receives the image data and the acquired information without the position information from the first fax apparatus, the second controller adds the generated code information to a header on the image of the image data.

2. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the first communicator transmits the acquired information without depending on a transmission resolution of the fax communication.

3. The transmission system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first fax apparatus further includes a scanner, and

wherein the first controller acquires the information by decoding code information included in image data generated by the scanner scanning an image of a document.

4. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the generated code information is information in a quick response (QR) code®.

5. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the first communicator transmits the image data at a transmission resolution of the second fax apparatus or a transmission resolution of the first fax apparatus, whichever is at a lower resolution.

6. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the position indicated by the position information is a position designated by a user.
