An image forming apparatus controls a general-purpose numerical key unit so as to maintain a state in which a NumLock LED is turned on in the case where a connecting cable of the general-purpose numerical key unit including a NumLock key capable of selectively switching, in a case that the general-purpose numerical key unit is connected to an information processing device including a display screen, a condition when the information processing devices processes an inputted key signal, between a first processing condition in which the key signal is processed as information on a numerical value and a second processing condition in which the key signal is processed as information for moving a cursor displayed on the display screen, and the NumLock LED capable of notifying a user of that the first processing condition is set for the information processing device by being turned on is connected to a connecting portion (step S).

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention, and the method of controlling the same, switches a connection between a telephone device and a telephone line between connected and cut off, has a power supply for supplying power to the telephone device, and, in a state where the telephone device and the telephone line are connected and supply of power from the power supply to the telephone device is stopped, in a case that an off-hook of the telephone device is detected by a detection unit for detecting an off-hook and an on-hook of the telephone device, controls to start supply of power from the power supply to the telephone device.

Facsimile apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus individually sets a login distance as a condition to be satisfied when a login request is transmitted for a plurality of devices. Further, the information processing apparatus determines whether a login distance condition, having been set, is satisfied based on receipt of a packet. The information processing apparatus transmits the login request to the transmission source device if it is determined that the login distance condition is satisfied.

Information processing apparatus, and method and program for controlling information processing apparatus

An image processing apparatus registers voice call destination information and data transmission destination information for a destination in association with each other. The image processing apparatus executes a voice call with the destination using the voice call destination information, and executes, after the voice call, data transmission to the destination using the data transmission destination information in accordance with a data transmission instruction input by the user.

Image processing apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium

An image communicating apparatus which includes a telephone control unit configured to control a telephone includes a controller with a main CPU, and a power supply control unit configured to control power supply. When transiting to a sleep mode, the controller stops power supply to itself, and also supplies power to the telephone control unit so that the telephone control unit can detect at least off-hook of the telephone. When the off-hook of the telephone is detected in the sleep mode, the telephone control unit starts power supply to the controller, holds a dial signal input while the controller is activated, and transmits the held dial signal to the controller upon completion of activation of the controller.

Image communicating apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing program

A present image communication apparatus performs voice communication with an external apparatus via a network, acquires image communication information indicating an image communication capability of the external apparatus, displays an operation screen that is related to image communication and includes at least information indicating whether or not voice communication can be continued when performing image communication based on the acquired image communication information, and controls image communication in accordance with user input that has been made via the operation screen.

Image communication apparatus, method, and storage medium for performing image communication and voice communication

A communication apparatus comprises a modem configured to performed FAX communication, and a connection unit configured to connect a telephone apparatus. The communication apparatus detects a CNG signal, and controls, in a case where there is an incoming call in a state in which FAX communication is being performed by the modem, if the CNG signal is not detected in the detecting, so that a signal is supplied from a line to the telephone apparatus, and controls, in a case where there is an incoming call in a state in which FAX communication is not being performed by the modem, if the CNG signal is detected in the detecting, so that FAX communication by the modem is initiated.

Communication apparatus, method of controlling the same and storage medium

An apparatus supplies power to a communication unit that communicates with an external apparatus, and manages history information for each communication sequence in the communication unit in a mode where power supplied to a control unit is stopped. At that time, the apparatus assigns identification information unique to the communication unit to the history information when the apparatus is in a mode where power supplied to the control unit is stopped, and makes control when power supplied to the control unit is stopped or when the apparatus returns to the mode in which power is supplied to the control unit so that continuity of the history information managed by the control unit is ensured.

Image communication apparatus, control method, and storage medium

There is provided with an image communication apparatus. A serial interface transfers data between a master and a slave. The master supplies a clock signal to the slave. An oscillation generator generates a clock signal. A switch selects, and supplies to the slave, either the clock signal output from the oscillation generator or the clock signal from the master. A controller stops an operation of the master and controls the switch such that the clock signal output from the oscillation generator is supplied to the slave, upon transition to a power saving mode.

Image communication apparatus, operating method, and storage medium with power saving mode

A facsimile apparatus which uses a tone output unit that outputs tones when a VoIP communication in which audio data for a facsimile communication by way of a public telephone line is sent and received over an IP network is being carried out, so as to make a user aware that a non-VoIP communication in which a facsimile communication is carried out by way of the IP network without using audio data is being carried out. When the VoIP communication is being carried out, the tone output unit outputs a first tone for notifying the user of a communication status of the VoIP communication. When the non-VoIP communication is carried out, the tone output unit outputs a second tone so as to notify the user of a communication status of the non-VoIP communication.

Facsimile apparatus capable of outputting communication tones, control method therefor, and storage medium

A communication apparatus has an off-hook detection function, and has a first electric power supply for supplying electric power to a telephone control unit for controlling a telephone apparatus, and a second electric power supply for supplying electric power to an off-hook detection unit for detecting an off-hook of the telephone apparatus. The apparatus causes the off-hook detection unit to detect an off-hook of the telephone apparatus when, from a first power mode, a second power mode, in which electric power consumption is less than in the first power mode, is transitioned into.
