Information processing apparatus that executes ip facsimile communication and a job other than the ip facsimile communication, and information processing method of executing ip facsimile communication and a job other than the ip facsimile communication

Abstract

An information processing apparatus () includes a processor capable of executing IP facsimile communication and a job other than the IP facsimile communication, a facsimile tone signal being transmitted/received as audio data in the IP facsimile communication; a storage () that stores a first or second level, which represents a mode for executing the IP facsimile communication; and a control unit () that determines whether the first or second level is stored in the storage, respectively selects a first mode and a second mode when determining that the first level and the second level are stored in the storage, and when receiving an execution instruction of the IP facsimile communication in the first mode and the second mode, respectively causes the processor to stop an uncompleted job and then preferentially execute the IP facsimile communication, and to execute an uncompleted job and the IP facsimile communication in parallel.
