Abstract
An image processing device includes an image processing unit, a UI unit, a VPN processing unit, and a housing. The image processing unit includes a printer and/or a scanner. The UI unit is the target of an input action performed by the user. The VPN processing unit connects to a VPN using authentication information obtained through the UI unit. The image processing unit, the UT unit, and the VPN processing unit are provided to the housing.
Claims19
An image processing device, comprising:
- an image processing unit including a printer;
- a user interface (UI) unit subjected to an input action performed by a user;
- a virtual private network (VPN) processing unit that connects to a virtual private network (VPN) using authentication information acquired through the UI unit;
- and
- a housing provided with the image processing unit, the UI unit, and the VPN processing unit,
- wherein
- the image processing device further includes a controller configured to:
- receive a print request to the printer through the VPN,
- acquire identification information of a source of the print request through the VPN and determine whether the acquired identification information matches identification information stored in advance, and
- control the printer to:
- print according to the print request when a match is determined, and
- not print according to the print request when no match is determined.
