Printing apparatus, method for controlling the same, and storage medium

摘要

A printing apparatus measures a communication environment between the printing apparatus and a server. Then, based on the measured communication environment, the printing apparatus selects whether to transmit a scan image to a server by using a multi-connection communication function or to transmit the scan image to the server without using the multi-connection communication function.

1. A printing apparatus having a multi-connection communication function for transmitting and receiving data blocks by using a plurality of connections, the printing apparatus comprising:
a reading unit configured to read a document to generate image data; a measurement unit configured to measure a communication environment between the printing apparatus and an external apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine whether to use the multi-connection communication function based on the communication environment measured by the measurement unit; and a communication unit configured to transmit the image data generated by the reading unit to the external apparatus by using the multi-connection communication function in a case where the determination unit determines to use the multi-connection communication function, and to transmit the image data generated by the reading unit to the external apparatus without using the multi-connection communication function in a case where the determination unit determines not to use the multi-connection communication function, wherein the document reading by the reading unit and the measurement of the communication environment by the measurement unit are performed in parallel, and in a case where the document reading by the reading unit is completed before the measurement of the communication environment by the measurement unit is completed, the communication unit transmit the image data generated by the reading unit to the external apparatus by using the multi-connection communication function prior to completing the measurement of the communication environment.
