An image processing apparatus that includes a copy function for scanning a document and printing an image based on image data generated by scanning the document, and a sending function for scanning a document and sending image data generated by scanning the document, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a scanner;
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to cause the image processing apparatus to execute a pull scanning process for scanning a document by the scanner according to an instruction from an external apparatus via a network and transmitting image data obtained by scanning the document to the external apparatus,
- wherein, in a case where a scanning screen on which the image processing apparatus executes the pull scan processing is displayed on the display, the controller causes the image processing apparatus to execute the pull scanning process according to the instruction,
- wherein, in a case where the instruction is received when a first screen, which is different from the scanning screen, is displayed on the display, the controller causes the image processing apparatus to execute the pull scanning process according to the instruction,
- wherein, in a case where the instruction is received from the external apparatus when a second screen, which is different from the first screen, is displayed on the display, the pull scanning process is not executed, and
- wherein the first screen is a menu screen for selecting a button by a user from among a plurality of buttons including a first button by which the display displays a copy screen for receiving setting of the copy function and a second button by which the display displays a sending screen for receiving setting of the sending function.
A control method for controlling an image processing apparatus that includes a scanner, a display, a copy function for scanning a document and printing an image based on image data generated by scanning the document, a sending function for scanning a document and sending image data generated by scanning the document, and a controller configured to cause the image processing apparatus to execute a pull scanning process for scanning a document by the scanner according to an instruction from an external apparatus via a network and transmitting image data obtained by scanning the document to the external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- causing, via the controller and in a case where a scanning screen on which the image processing apparatus executes the pull scan processing is displayed on the display, the image processing apparatus to execute the pull scanning process according to the instruction;
- causing, via the controller and in a case where the instruction is received when a first screen which is different from the scanning screen, is displayed on the display, the image processing apparatus to execute the pull scanning process according to the instruction;
- and
- causing, in a case where the instruction is received from the external apparatus when a second screen, which is different from the first screen, is displayed on the display, the pull scanning process not to bet executed,
- wherein the first screen is a menu screen for selecting a button by a user from among a plurality of buttons including a first button by which the display displays a copy screen for receiving setting of the copy function and a second button by which the display displays a sending screen for receiving setting of the sending function.
