Patent attributes
A user, upon specifying a print control file as a file to be transmitted, an image file to be printed listed in the control file is also specified as a file to be transmitted, and the image file is listed into a transmission control file. This enables the user to transmit the image file without transmitting it separately. A file specifying apparatus employs a memory storing the image file and image file information that specifies the image file. The apparatus is used together with a transmitter that transmits the image file to a destination device for printing the image file. The apparatus includes a reading unit for reading the image file information from the memory and a controller for adding print control file information into the transmission control file. The print control file information specifies the print control file including the image file information read out.
