Reading apparatus

A reading apparatus comprising:

• a user interface;
• a scanner;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• perform a push scan that causes the scanner to read a document according to an execution instruction corresponding to an operation on the user interface;
• and
• a pull scan that causes the scanner to read the document according to an execution instruction from an external device,
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• set a restriction setting value relating to a restriction on the push scan;
• and
• in a case where the controller receives an execution instruction of the push scan via the user interface, restrict the push scan according to the restriction setting value,
• in a case where the controller receives an execution instruction of the pull scan from the external device, the controller is configured to specify whether authentication is necessary, based on the restriction setting value,
• in a case where it is specified that the authentication is unnecessary, the controller is configured to perform the pull scan without the authentication, and
• in a case where it is specified that the authentication is necessary, the controller is configured to:
• perform the pull scan, in a case where the authentication is successful;
• and
• not perform the pull scan, in a case where the authentication is failed.

A reading apparatus comprising:

• a user interface;
• a scanner;
• and
• a controller configured to perform a scan that causes the scanner to read a document according to an execution instruction,
• wherein, in a case where the controller receives an execution instruction of the scan, the controller is configured to restrict the scan according to a restriction setting value, and
• in a case where a restriction setting value corresponding to restricting the scan is set and the controller receives an execution instruction of a pull scan from an external device, the execution instruction being the execution instruction of the scan, the controller is configured to:
• perform authentication and, in a case where the authentication is successful, perform the pull scan;
• and perform authentication and, in a case where the authentication is failed, restrict the pull scan, and
• in a case where the restriction setting value corresponding to restricting the scan is set and the controller receives an execution instruction of a push scan, the controller is configured to restrict the push scan without performing the authentication, the execution instruction being the execution instruction of the scan according to an operation on the user interface.
