1. An image data transmitter comprising:
- an image data acquiring section that acquires image data;
an image data transmitter section that transmits image data to destinations;
a destination setting section that sets at least two destinations;
a destination selector section that selects at least one of destinations which is set by the destination setting section;
a supplementary information acquiring section that acquires supplementary information which is to be added to image data;
a destination versus supplementary information correlator section that establishes a correlation between destination selected by the destination selector section and supplementary information acquired by the supplementary information acquiring section; and
a data combiner section that creates composite data for destination selected by the destination selector section, the composite data being created by adding supplementary information correlated to the destination by the destination versus supplementary information correlator section to image data acquired by the image data acquiring section, wherein to destination selected by the destination selector section, the image data transmitter section transmits composite data created by the data combiner section for the destination.

Abstract
Provided is an image data transmitter in which, in the event of transmission of the same image data to multiple recipients, the image data with added supplementary information different for each of the multiple recipients can be transmitted through easy operation. Further provided is an image data communication system using the image data transmitter. An image of a document is read out, and a destination of the image is set. Multiple destinations can be set. Then, selection is performed whether or not to input supplementary information. When performing input processing, a destination to which the supplementary information is to be transmitted is selected from the multiple destinations. Subsequently, the supplementary information for the destination is input, and the supplementary information is correlated with the destination. Additionally, the image data and the supplementary information are combined. Then, composite data for the destination is transmitted to the destination.
