Abstract

Abstract An image transmission apparatus includes an original reading unit, a memory, a communicating unit, an impressing unit, and a controller. The memory stores an image signal read by the original reading unit. The impressing means impresses a predetermined stamp on an original. The controller controls the impressing unit so that different stamps are impressed when the read image signal is directly transmitted by the communicating unit and when the read image signal is stored in the memory means.
