A communication apparatus which is capable of selectively using codecs appropriately. The communication apparatus is provided with a software codec configured to encode and decode images and a hardware codec configured to encode and decode images at higher speed than the software codec. In facsimile communication with an IP-FAX machine connected to an IP network, the communication apparatus causes the hardware codec to encode or decode an image. In facsimile communication with an analog facsimile machine connected to an analog network, the communication apparatus causes the software codec to encode or decode the image. |
