Image Processing Device and Method for Moving Device to Ready State

摘要

There is provided an image processing device, which comprises an interface into which a removal storage medium can be connected; at least one device having one of an image reading function and an image output function; a preparation control unit configured to execute a preparation process so that the at least one device moves from a first state corresponding to a non-ready state and a second state corresponding to a ready state; and an image process unit having at least one of a function of storing image data and a function of reading image data; a detection unit configured to detect whether the removal storage medium is connected to the interface; and a controller configured to move the at least one device to the second state in response to detection of insertion of the removal medium into the interface by the detection unit.
