PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus for switching whether or not a breaking pattern is printed in accordance with setting of a user or setting conditions when a special pattern is detected from a document image. SOLUTION: A special pattern determination section determines whether a special pattern is included in an original document image read by an original document reading section. If the special pattern determination section determines that the special pattern is included, the breaking pattern applying section applies a breaking pattern to the original document image, and the print image generating section accumulates image data of the original document image applied with the breaking pattern into a memory. If it is determined that the special pattern is not included, the print image generating section accumulates the image data of the original document image into the memory and stores the image. Then, if it is set by a user so as not to print the breaking pattern, a control section deletes image data of the original document image accumulated in the memory and applied with the breaking pattern.
