A color image communication device includes a transmission unit which
carries out a facsimile transmission of image data of a sYCC-Joint
Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) color space, and a control unit which
controls a facsimile transmission of the image data of the sYCC-JPEG
color space without setting size information in a facsimile communication
protocol when the image data to be transmitted by facsimile is the image
data of the sYCC-JPEG color space.
