The apparatus acquires, upon reception of a job from the information processing apparatus via the communication unit, the identification information of the information processing apparatus which has transmitted the job and determines whether or not the acquired identification information is registered. The apparatus authenticates the user by using the authentication information registered in association with the identification information when determining that the identification information is registered. The apparatus executes the job when the authentication succeeds. | 12-27-2012 |
20130188216 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - When an error occurs in communication between an access point and an image processing apparatus, it is determined whether a setting of the access point has been changed. When an error occurs in communication between the access point and the image processing apparatus, the error is notified to a user. If it is determined that the setting of the access point has been changed, resetting of a wireless LAN by a user is awaited, and then, connection between the access point and the image processing apparatus is started. | 07-25-2013 |
20130216253 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The image forming apparatus determines whether or not supplementation of a consumable product is required, and whether or not an image corresponding to the consumable product procurement information including information related to the procurement of the consumable product is recorded by linkage with the consumable product. Then when the image forming apparatus determines that that supplementation of a consumable product is required, and that an image corresponding to the consumable product procurement information is recorded by linkage with the consumable product, a printing instruction screen for the image is displayed, and the printing of the image is performed in accordance with the printing instructions input through the printing instruction screen. | 08-22-2013 |
20150058953 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, INCLUDING USER AUTHENTICATION, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus which is capable of realizing security improvements without degrading the usability. A user is authenticated, and an operation screen accepting an operation input from the user is displayed. A job is executed according to an instruction of the user authenticated by the user authenticating unit. It is determined whether or not the job of which execution is instructed by the user, is being executed when the user authenticating unit authenticates the user. A first operation screen through which the user inputs an instruction for the job in execution is displayed when the job executing unit is executing the job, of which execution is instructed by the user, whereas another operation screen through which another user inputs an instruction for another job is displayed when not. | 02-26-2015 |
