Abstract
An image communication apparatus and a communication controlling method thereon, wherein in the case where image data having an attribute not specified by the ITU-T recommendation is transmitted, regardless of an attribute of image data to be transmitted, a reception command including a first image attribute specified by the ITU-T recommendation are sent out, and information including a second image attribute of image data to be transmitted is sent out in a phase transmitting the image data after the reception command is sent out. And when an image is transmitted with the second image attribute, a transmission takes place with a binary file transfer communication procedure following a first communication procedure specified by the ITU-T recommendation so that image data having an image attribute not standardized by the ITU-T recommendation can be transmitted.
