Abstract
An image scanning device, while suspending scanning of a set of document sheets of a certain unit, execute scanning of a document sheet of another user, and thereafter enable a user to select a job to be resumed from a list of suspended jobs.
Claims16
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a scanner that scans a document sheet;
- a memory;
- a controller that executes a job for scanning document sheets by the scanner in accordance with an instruction received from a user which has logged in to the image processing apparatus,
- wherein the controller suspends the job in accordance with another instruction before scanning of the document sheets is completed,
- wherein the controller executes another job for scanning another document sheet by the scanner in a state that the job is being suspended, the another job being a job of another user which has logged in to the image processing apparatus,
- wherein, after execution of the another job, the image processing apparatus receives a resuming instruction for resuming the suspended job in a state that the user is not logged in to the image processing apparatus and the another user is logged in to the image processing apparatus,
- wherein the controller resumes the suspended job in accordance with reception of the resuming instruction,
- wherein the controller stores, in the memory, history information of the job as history information of the user, the history information including user information of the another user,
- wherein, after execution of the another job, the image processing apparatus displays suspended jobs, receives selection of a job from among the suspended jobs, and receiving the resuming instruction for resuming the selected job in a state that the user is not logged in to the image processing apparatus and the another user is logged in to the image processing apparatus, and
- wherein the controller resumes the selected job in accordance with reception of the resuming instruction.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer readable program which, when executed by a computer, performs a method for controlling an image processing apparatus including a scanner that scans a document sheet, a memory and a controller that executes a job, the method comprising:
- executing the job for scanning document sheets by the scanner in accordance with an instruction received with a user which has logged in to the image processing apparatus,
- suspending the job in accordance with another instruction before scanning of the document sheets is completed;
- executing another job for scanning another document sheet by the scanner in a state that the job is being suspended, the another job being a job of another user which has logged in to the image processing apparatus in a state that the job is being suspended;
- receiving, after execution of the another job, a resuming instruction for resuming the suspended job in a state that the user is not logged in to the image processing apparatus and the another user is logged in to the image processing apparatus;
- resuming the suspended job in accordance with reception of the resuming instruction;
- and
- storing, in the memory, history information of the job as history information of the user, the history information including user information of the another user,
- wherein, after execution of the another job, the image processing apparatus displays suspended jobs, receives selection of a job from among the suspended jobs, and receiving the resuming instruction for resuming the selected job in a state that the user is not logged in to the image processing apparatus and the another user is logged in to the image processing apparatus, and
- wherein the selected job is resumed in accordance with reception of the resuming instruction.
