Abstract
To be able to effectively use an image processing apparatus having plural functions and execute an effective use of the image processing apparatus under a condition of reflecting user's will, use environment of the image processing apparatus and the like, an error in the image processing apparatus is detected by a detector, and a screen including a function restriction key for restricting the function of the image processing apparatus is displayed in accordance with detection by the detector.
Claims37
An image processing apparatus having plural functions, comprising:
- detection means for detecting an error occurred in said image processing apparatus;
- and
- display means for displaying a screen including a function restriction key to restrict functions of said image processing apparatus in accordance with the detection by said detection means.
A control method of an image processing apparatus having plural functions, comprising:
- a detection step of detecting an error occurred in the image processing apparatus;
- and
- a display step of displaying a screen including a function restriction key to restrict functions of the image processing apparatus in accordance with the detection in said detection step.
An image processing apparatus having plural functions, comprising:
- inquiry output control means for controlling, in case of any of the plural functions being in an inexecutable state, to output information for inquiring of a user whether execution of a mode to operate said image processing apparatus should be permitted or inhibited in a state that, among the plural functions, inexecutable functions are inactivated and executable functions are activated without inactivating all of the plural functions included in said image processing apparatus;
- and
- control means for controlling whether or not said mode should be executed, on the basis of an instruction indicating a replying result for the information.
A control method of an image processing apparatus having plural functions, said method comprising:
- an inquiry output control step of controlling, in case of any of the plural functions being in an inexecutable state, to output information for inquiring of a user whether execution of a mode to operate the image processing apparatus should be permitted or inhibited in a state that, among the plural functions, inexecutable functions are inactivated and executable functions are activated without inactivating all of the plural functions included in the image processing apparatus;
- and
- a control step of controlling whether or not said mode should be executed, on the basis of an instruction indicating a replying result for the information.
A computer-readable storage medium which stores a program to cause an image processing apparatus having plural functions to execute the following steps:
- an inquiry output control step of causing, in case of any of the plural functions being in an inexecutable state, to output information for inquiring of a user whether execution of a mode to operate the image processing apparatus should be permitted or inhibited in a state that, among the plural functions, inexecutable functions are inactivated and executable functions are activated without inactivating all of the plural functions included in the image processing apparatus;
- and
- a control step of controlling whether or not said mode should be executed, on the basis of an instruction indicating a replying result for the information.
