First Claim
1. An image data transmitting apparatus connected to a server apparatus by way of a network, the server apparatus having stored thereon address book data in which information on destinations, information on users who use the image data transmitting apparatus, and transmission setting information indicative of transmittal cover letter data to be used are related to each other, the image data transmitting apparatus or the server apparatus having the transmittal cover letter data stored thereon,the image data transmitting apparatus comprising:
- a data acquiring portion that acquires the address book data corresponding to the user or such address book data and the transmittal cover letter data from the server apparatus;
a destination selecting portion that, out of the information on destinations as acquired by the data acquiring portion, selects the destination according to selecting operation by the user;
an image data generating portion that generates image data of the transmittal cover letter based on the transmittal cover letter data related to the destination selected by the destination selecting portion and attaches image data to be transmitted as second and subsequent pages, thereby generating the image data with the transmittal cover letter attached thereto; and
an image data transmitting portion that transmits the image data with the transmittal cover letter attached thereto generated by the image data generating portion to the destination, whereinthe image data transmitting portion prohibits transmission of image data other than the image data with the transmittal cover letter attached thereto generated by the image data generating portion.

Abstract
The image data transmitting apparatus acquires the address book data corresponding to the user or such data and the transmittal cover letter data from the server apparatus, selects, out of the acquired information on destinations, the destination according to selecting operation by the user, generates transmittal cover letter image data based on the transmittal cover letter data related to the selected destination and attaches the image data to be transmitted as second and subsequent pages, thereby generating the image data with the transmittal cover letter attached thereto. While thus generated image data with the transmittal cover letter attached thereto is transmitted to the destination, transmission is prohibited of image data other than thus generated image data with the transmittal cover letter attached thereto.
