Abstract
An image communication apparatus enabling reduction of line occupation time and communication charge. The image communication apparatus generates image data for high-speed transmission and image data for low-speed transmission from input image data. Before transmission of image data, it is determined whether high-speed transmission of the image data is possible. When the high-speed transmission of the image data is determined to be possible, the image communication apparatus selects the image data for high-speed transmission, whereas when the same is determined to be impossible, the image communication apparatus selects the image data for low-speed transmission.
