The logging data is transmitted to the telephone line or a maintenance terminal wire-less communicated with the master comm app in response to a data transmission request. When one of slave comm app requests a forwarding, the slave comm app sends a forwarding request and data of a cause of disconnection caused by the forwarding and the master comm app generates first logging data including the data of cause of disconnection and after completion of the comm (fax) operation caused by the forwarding and generates second logging data in response to the disconnection from the telephone line.
