Image processing apparatus system for storing and retrieving setting information

摘要

An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an authentication unit that authenticates a user and logs in the user when the user is authenticated. An input unit receives an input from the user indicating a setting of a function of the image processing apparatus. A setting management unit causes a storage unit to store setting information corresponding to the setting indicated by the input from the user, while the user is logged in, and to store the setting information when the user logs out. A setting state control unit retrieves the setting information of the user and sets a setting state of the image processing apparatus according to the retrieved setting information when the authentication unit logs in the user.
