Device capable of extracting output control information, control method thereof, and storage medium

摘要

To change a detection target region of output control information for each function to be used in an MFP having multiple functions. A device that outputs document data has a detection unit configured to detect, from document data, information to control output of the document data and a control unit configured to control the output of the document data according to the detected information, and the device includes a setting unit configured to set a detection target region by the detection unit either to the entire surface or to a specific region of the document data.

主权项

1. A printing device comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory stores a program that, upon execution by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform the functions of:
a receiving unit that receives an output start instruction for an image from a user;a determining unit that determines a detection target region of the image based on a type of the output start instruction received from the user;a detection unit that detects a two-dimensional code from the determined detection target region of the image;a permission determining unit that determines whether or not output of the image is permitted based on the detected two-dimensional code; andan output unit that either transmits the image to another device or prints the image, in accordance with the received output start instruction, when output of the image is determined to be permitted; wherein the output unit prints the image in a case where the type of the received output start instruction is printing and output of the image is determined to be permitted, and transmits the image to another device in a case where the type of the received output start instruction is transmitting and output of the image is determined to be permitted.
