Abstract:
1. A facsimile sending system, comprising: a plurality of facsimile devices including a first facsimile device and a second facsimile device different from the first facsimile device; and a server, wherein the second facsimile device is connected to the server and a public line, and the second facsimile comprises: a scanning device that scans a document; an operation device configured to receive specific destination information concerning a destination; a processor; and memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate as: wherein the server comprises: a processor; and memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate as: wherein the first facsimile device is connected to the server and the public line, and the first facsimile device comprises: a processor; and memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate as: wherein in a case where the first facsimile device is currently sending second sending data different from the first sending data to the specific destination concerning the specific destination information, the selecting unit selects the first facsimile device, the server side sending unit sends the first sending data to the first facsimile device in a case where the first facsimile device is selected by the selecting unit, in a case where the first facsimile device side receiving unit receives the first sending data sent from the server while the first facsimile device side sending unit is sending the second sending data to the specific destination the first facsimile device side sending unit sends, via the public line, the first sending data continuously following the sending of the second sending data to the specific destination as an identical sending job with the second sending data, and the memory of the server stores additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor of the server, further cause the processor to provide a running status receiving unit that receives the sending result of the first sending data from the first facsimile device in a case where the server side sending unit sends the first sending data to the first facsimile device.
