The operation unit receives a selection operation of selecting a piece of transmission destination information from among the displayed plurality of pieces of transmission destination information, and the control unit determines the selected piece of transmission destination information to be the transmission destination of image transmission made by the selection of the short-cut key. Even if a plurality of transmission destinations are registered with the short-cut key, erroneous transmission to an unintended destination can be prevented.
