Abstract
A terminal apparatus is configured to receive image data from a scanner. A controller receives, from the scanner, a control file including a file name, receives, from the scanner, a document file, the document file including image data scanned by the scanner, analyzes the file name included in the received control file to obtain the file type of the received document file, and determines whether the application program associated with the obtained file type is stored in a memory. The controller also searches the memory to determine the application program associated with the obtained file type from application programs stored in the memory, starts the application program associated with the obtained file type, when it is determined that the application program associated with the obtained file type is stored in the memory, and opens the received document file without user input, based upon the application program determined in the search.
