Communication apparatus and method for controlling same
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- an image reading unit configured to read an image on an original as image data, the original having a memory attached thereto;
a transmitting unit configured to transmit the image data read by the image reading unit;
a writing unit configured to write identification information, for identifying image data to be transmitted by the transmitting unit, to the memory;
a storage unit configured to store the identification information written by the writing unit, together with information related to the transmission of the image data;
an information reading unit configured to read information written in the memory; and
a controlling unit configured to perform control so as to report the transmission-related information stored together with the identification information, when the information read by the information reading unit matches the identification information stored by the storage unit.

Abstract
A multifunction printer includes a scanner unit, a facsimile unit, an RFID reader/writer unit, a storage unit, and a core unit. The scanner unit reads an image on an original, to which an RFID tag is attached, as image data. The facsimile unit transmits the image data. The RFID reader/writer unit writes identification information, which is used for identifying image data to be transmitted by the facsimile unit, to the RFID tag and reads information stored in the RFID tag. The storage unit stores the identification information written by the RFID reader/writer unit, together with information regarding the transmission of the image data. The core unit performs control so as to report the transmission-related information stored together with the identification information, when the information read by the RFID reader/writer unit matches the identification information stored by the storage unit.
