Image processing apparatus and control method thereof

摘要

When operation screen data sent from a Web server can be received, an image processing apparatus displays an operation screen based on the operation screen data on an operation unit. On the other hand, when operation screen data cannot be received due to a communication error, the image processing apparatus displays a substitute operation screen that allows it use of at least one of its image processing functions on the operation unit.
