Furthermore, upon receipt of information of a transmission result from a line control section 46, the system control section 45 outputs the transmission result information to an image expansion section 42, where a transmission result report is generated and it is informed to the printer control section 25 that the recording this time is the transmission result report. The printer control section 25 controls the changeover device 30 to set an original discharge tray 12 of a scanner section 10 as a discharge destination.
