An image processing apparatus comprises: a display part on which various information is displayed; an authentication information inputting part for receiving entry of authentication information made by a user; a setting information inputting part for receiving an operation to set made by the user, and inputting setting information; an authentication processing part for starting authentication processing to execute user authentication based on the authentication information in response to the entry of the authentication information; and a display controlling part for displaying an initial operation screen operable for the user to make setting on the display part in parallel with the authentication processing executed by the authentication processing part, and for reflecting the setting information received by the setting information inputting part before obtaining a result of the authentication processing to the initial operation screen. So, a waiting time of the user after the entry of the authentication information is reduced. Also, the user is allowed to start making operation relatively-early, and convenience of the image processing apparatus is enhanced.
