Abstract
The present invention is directed to reduction of a time from setting of a job to execution of an output job including execution of scanning at the time of performing scanning. An image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a reading unit configured to perform reading processing to read an image of a document and to generate image data based on the image, and a reception unit configured to receive a selection of a job, the job performing output processing based on the image data generated by the reading processing. The reception unit receives the selection of the job while the reading unit performs the reading processing.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a scanning unit configured to perform a scanning process for scanning an image of a document and for generating image data based on the image;
- a receiving unit configured to receive selection, by a user, of an output process from a plurality of output processes for outputting the image data generated by the scanning process;
- and
- a controller configured to perform the selected output process for outputting the image data generated by the scanning process,
- wherein the receiving unit can receive the selection, by the user, of the output process for outputting the image data while the scanning unit performs the scanning process for scanning the image of the document and for generating the image data.
An image processing method, comprising:
- performing a scanning process for scanning an image of a document and for generating image data based on the image;
- receiving selection, by a user, of an output process from a plurality of output processes for outputting the image data generated by the scanning process;
- and
- performing the selected output process for outputting the image data generated by the scanning process,
- wherein the selection, by the user, of the output process for outputting the image data is able to be received while the scanning process is performed.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- performing a scanning process for scanning an image of a document and for generating image data based on the image;
- receiving selection, by a user, of an output process from a plurality of output processes for outputting the image data generated by the scanning process;
- and
- performing the selected output process for outputting the image data generated by the scanning process,
- wherein the selection, by the user, of the output process for outputting the image data is able to be received while the scanning process is performed.
