Abstract

A network scanner apparatus is connected to a least one terminal via a network. A control portion controls the network by the use of a TCP/IP protocol. A readout portion reads-out a paper to produce an image data signal. An operation portion inputs an IP address as a transmitting destination of the image data signal. A transmission portion directly transmits the image data signal to the terminal having the inputted IP address.
