Abstract
PC link software stored in a personal computer searches for software installed in the personal computer and determines a file format that can be handled in the resulting software for sending to MFP. When MFP receives a destination for scanned image data, file formats displayable at that destination are displayed to allow the user to select in which format the data is sent. Therefore such a situation can be prevented in that the sent image data cannot be displayed at a personal computer.
