| 1. An image communication apparatus for transmitting a color image according to at least one ITU-T recommendation to a receiving
apparatus, comprising:
original read means for generating image data by reading an original;
identification means for identifying a paper size of the original read by said original read means;
compression means for compressing the image data; and
control means for, in a case where the paper size of the original identified by said identification means is smaller than
a paper size defined by the recommendation, causing said original read means to read the original in the paper size of the
original, adding invalid data to the image data, causing said compression means to compress the image data to which the invalid
data is added, and performing control processing to designate the paper size of the original and valid data in the image data
compressed by said compression means, in a case where the image data compressed by said compression means is transmitted to
the receiving apparatus.
