Abstract
There is provided a user-friendly multiple function peripheral apparatus which eliminates a wasteful data process in the apparatus even when a color scan start key is pressed. This invention provides a multiple function peripheral apparatus including a scanner unit having monochrome and color scanner functions, a facsimile transmission unit having only a monochrome facsimile transmission function, a color scan start key which instructs the scanner unit to execute color scan, a monochrome scan start key which instructs the scanner unit to execute monochrome scan, and a facsimile transmission control unit which controls operation of the facsimile transmission unit on the basis of a condition of correspondence set in advance between the color scan start key and the monochrome facsimile function when facsimile transmission is instructed with the color scan start key.
