Abstract
In an image reading and transmitting system for transmitting image data acquired by an image reading apparatus to a variety of processing apparatus through a network, reliability of the image data to be transmitted is improved without increasing an operator's workload. Image data being acquired by an image reading apparatus is stayed by a stay processing apparatus for a time sufficient for an operator to judge the usefulness of the data and to cancel transmission of the data if necessary. If no command to cancel transmission is given by the operator, the data is automatically transmitted to a network.
