<p>A RARP processing section 509 of a network scanner 1 obtains a MAC address corresponding to a user name from a MAC address table 510, and broadcasts a RARP request by use of this MAC address. While, a PC 4 sends a pair of a self-IP address and a mail address to a RARP processing section 509 in response to the RARP request. After obtaining an IP address of this PC 4, a scanner 15 scans an original, and generates e-mail to which the image is appended. Next, an SMTP transmitting section 507 directly transmits the generated e-mail to the PC. At this time, the SMTP transmitting section 507 uses the IP address of PC obtained by the RARP processing section 509. In the network to which HDCP is introduced, the network scanner automatically obtains the IP address of PC, and directly transmits image data to the PC. <IMAGE></p> |
