Patent ID: 7936470

Claim:
A multi function device having a function of a facsimile device and a function of a non-facsimile device, the multi function device being connectable to a terminal device which performs data communication, the multi function device comprising: a processor; a displaying system configured to display an indication corresponding to a mode currently set for the multi function device; a data receiving system configured to receive facsimile data transmitted from another device different from the multi function device; a data storing system configured to store the facsimile data received by the data receiving system; and memory operatively coupled to the processor and storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the multi function device to: define a first setting indicating whether the facsimile data received by the data receiving system is to be transmitted to the terminal device when the mode is a facsimile mode, wherein the terminal device and the multi function device correspond to a specified recipient of the facsimile data; define a second setting indicating whether the facsimile data received by the data receiving system is to be transmitted to the terminal device when the mode of the multi function device is a non-facsimile mode: transmit the data received by the data receiving system to the terminal device when the first setting indicates that the data received by the data receiving system is to be transmitted to the terminal device and the mode is the facsimile mode; count after transmitting the facsimile data received by the data receiving system, a number of pieces of untransmitted data which are stored in the received data storing system and have not yet been successfully transmitted to the terminal device, wherein the untransmitted data includes data that was unsuccessfully transmitted to the terminal device from the multi function device; display, in the displaying system, the counted number of pieces of the untransmitted data when the mode is the facsimile mode; and display, in the displaying system, the counted number of pieces of untransmitted data when the mode of the multi function device is the non-facsimile mode and the second setting indicates that the data received by the data receiving system is to be transmitted to the terminal device when the mode of the multi function device is the non-facsimile mode, wherein the counted number of pieces of untransmitted data is not displayed when the mode of the multi function device is the non-facsimile mode and the second setting indicates that the data received by the data receiving system is not to be transmitted to the terminal device when the mode of the multi function device is the non-facsimile mode.
