Abstract:
1. A communication device comprising: a receiving unit that receives incoming data including first image data created based on a first image on a document and additional data indicating transmitting source of the first image data; a printing unit; a writing unit; a control unit that controls the printing unit to print on a first recording paper a second image based on the first image data and to control the writing unit to write the additional data in a wireless tag provided on the first recording paper; a facsimile transmitting function that transmits facsimile data through a line; a scanning unit that scans the second image on the first recording paper to form third image data; a reading unit that reads the additional data from the wireless tag; a transmitting unit that transmits the facsimile data to a destination device through the line; a facsimile setting unit that sets the facsimile transmitting function for transmitting the facsimile data; a first determining unit that determines whether the facsimile transmitting function is set by the facsimile setting unit; a device data adding unit that adds device data of the communication device to the additional data, the device data indicating transmitting source of the third image data; and a second determining unit that determines whether the device data is added to the additional data, wherein the control unit further controls the scanning unit to scan the second image on the first recording paper to form the third image data, the reading unit to read the additional data from the wireless tag, and the transmitting unit to transmit the third image data and the additional data to the destination device, if the first determining unit determines that the facsimile transmitting function is set by the facsimile setting unit and the first recording paper has the second image and the wireless tag stores the additional data, and wherein the control unit further controls the transmitting unit to transmit the additional data and the device data if the second determining unit determines that the device data is added to the additional data.
