The network facsimile apparatus is able to communicate using both a public switched telephone network and a computer network, and has a facsimile section which transmits and receives an image via the public switched telephone network, a network communication section which transmits and receives data via the computer network, a storage which is to store received data and a structured document, a web server which transmits received data or a structured document to the computer network, and a reception list generating section which generates a structured document of reception list indicative of document information of received data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a network facsimile apparatus which is able to decrease network traffic caused by data transmission.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a network facsimile apparatus which is able to transmit and receive image data through a network with an inexpensive configuration without requiring dedicated hardware and software.
The network facsimile apparatus of the present invention has a facsimile section which transmits and receives an image via the PSTN, a network communication section which transmits and receives data via a computer network, a storage having a storage area at which received data including an image received at the facsimile section and the data received at the network communication section are stored and another storage area at which a structured document is stored, and a web server which transmits the received data or the structured document stored in the storage to the computer network.
According to the present invention, the network facsimile apparatus is able to issue a homepage of the apparatus own toward outside, which enables the network facsimile to communicate information including image data with an external terminal using the home page.
Further, since the present invention enables the network facsimile connected to the network to have a WWW server function, it is possible to use the internet inexpensively with a plain configuration without requiring a dedicated terminal for operating server software.
In addition, the network facsimile apparatus of the present invention has a reception list generating section which generates a structured document of reception list indicative of document information of the received data stored in the storage, and the web server transmits the structured document of reception list to the client via the computer network in response to a request from the client.
According to the above configuration, since it is possible to obtain data received and stored at the network facsimile apparatus using WWW browser software at a network client, it is thereby possible for a user of a personal computer who does not have a facsimile apparatus to receive facsimile image data using the existing software
