Abstract
An image communicating apparatus capable of transmitting/receiving image data via a high-speed digital line network determines whether a transmission destination device is busy. If it is determined that the transmission destination device is busy, the image communicating apparatus redials the transmission destination device a preset number of times. If it cannot be determined that the transmission destination device is busy and transmission has not ended normally, the image communicating apparatus redials the transmission destination device by limiting a redial count.
