Abstract
A data transmission apparatus includes a holding portion that holds specified transmission destination information, and a control portion that controls the holding portion to keep holding the transmission destination information even after completion of data transmission based on the transmission destination information and stand by in a state of being capable of subsequently transmitting different data to the same transmission destination. The control portion permits or forbids holding of the transmission destination information based on the contents of data transmission. An image data transmission apparatus determines the presence or absence of a possibility that a set transmission destination is an erroneously set transmission destination. The image data transmission apparatus, after the start of image reading, requires a user to make a confirmation of correct setting of the transmission destination only when the possibility is present, and transmits stored image data to the transmission destination after the confirmation.
