Image processing apparatus and image processing system

摘要

An image processing apparatus and an image processing system are capable of efficiently carrying out processing using a smaller memory. When a control program is downloaded via a network from an external apparatus such as a PC and stored in a volatile memory, a job analyzing unit analyzes the content of an issued job and determines which modules of the control program are necessary and which modules are unnecessary based on the state of an MFP detected by an energy saving mode control unit and/or an inoperative state detecting unit. Unnecessary modules are deleted from the volatile memory.
