IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM THAT PERFORMS READING AND TRANSMITTING PROCESS OF ORIGINAL IMAGE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An image processing system which makes it possible to prevent an erroneous operation from being performed by an improper user. A console section of an MFP receives an operation from a user. A scanner reads an original to generate image data. A modem transmits the image data. A network interface receives an instruction for a reading and transmitting process for causing the scanner to read an original and then causing the modem to transmit image data generated by the scanner. When the instruction for the reading and transmitting process is received, a controller determines, based on a state of operation of the console section, whether or not the reading and transmitting process can be accepted. When acceptance of the reading and transmitting process is permitted as a result of the determination, the controller controls the scanner and the modem to perform the reading and transmitting process.

主权项

1. An image processing system comprising:
an operation unit configured to receive an operation from a user; a reading unit configured to read an original to thereby generate image data; a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by said reading unit; a reception unit configured to receive an instruction for a reading and transmitting process for causing said reading unit to read an original and then causing said transmission unit to transmit the image data generated by said reading unit; and a control unit configured to determine, based on a state of operation of said operation unit, whether or not the reading and transmitting process can be accepted, in a case where the instruction for the reading and transmitting process is received by said reception unit, and control said reading unit and said transmission unit to perform the reading and transmitting process, in a case where the acceptance of the reading and transmitting process is permitted as a result of the determination.
