Facsimile systems, devices, and methods are provided related to transmitting an image from a sending device to a receiving device via a network. One embodiment includes a status information reply unit which replies to a notification request of status information from a sending device by transmitting status information representing status of the receiving-device to the sending device via a network, in which the status information reply unit includes a transmission source classifying portion which determines a class of the sending device and a selected-status information transmitting portion which transmits the status information to the sending device via the network.

A printing apparatus creates and prints an order sheet on which a list of image data is placed. By filling in marking fields on the order sheet a user can select image data for transmission. Once the order sheet has been scanned by the scanner, the printing apparatus creates an e-mail having attached to it the image data selected by the user, and sends this to a computer or the like via a mail server. It is possible in this way to easily select image data for transmission through a prescribed communications network.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a data transfer control device, information storage medium, and electronic equipment that can relieve the inconveniences caused whenever a reset that clears node topology information occurs. If a bus reset occurs during a data transfer period in a data transfer control device in accordance with the IEEE 1394 standard, and also the content of ORBs before and after the bus reset is the same, data transfer restarts from a resumption at the point at which the bus reset occurred, thus preventing duplicate printing in a printer. Whenever a bus reset occurs during a data transfer period, the continuation flag is set to on. The first command block ORB comprising a print command that transferred in after the bus reset is used in the comparison with the pre-bus-reset ORB. When no ACK is returned from the initiator because of a bus reset, a transition to a dead state occurs. The part of transfer data from a scanner that has not yet been transferred to the initiator at point at which the bus reset occurred is retained without being destroyed.
