The processor displays: when the first interface acquires the information for the user authentication, an operation screen customized, using the customization information table, for a user authenticated through the user authentication as the operation screen, and when the first interface does not acquire the information for the user authentication, an operation screen customized, using the customization information table, for a user identified by the information acquired by the second interface as the operation screen. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An image processing apparatus comprising: a processor; a first interface that acquires information for user authentication; a second interface that acquires information for user identification; and a memory that stores a customization information table defining information for customizing an operation screen displayed on the first interface, wherein the processor displays: when the first interface acquires the information for the user authentication, an operation screen customized, using the customization information table, for a user authenticated through the user authentication as the operation screen, and when the first interface does not acquire the information for the user authentication, an operation screen customized, using the customization information table, for a user identified by the information acquired by the second interface as the operation screen. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the second interface comprises a receiver that receives the information for user identification by wireless communication. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information for customizing the operation screen includes at least one of language used on the operation screen and a default setting for image processing operation. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information for customizing the operation screen includes a default setting for image processing operation, the memory stores information for identifying a type of image processing operation allowed when the first interface does not acquire the information required for the user authentication, and the default setting for the user identified by the information acquired by the second interface corresponds to the identified type of the image processing operation. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the memory further stores: a user table defining a set of information acquired by the second interface, and information for customizing the operation screen for the user identified by the information acquired by the second interface, and the processor registers, in the customization information table, the set of information stored in the user table. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the processor deletes the set from the user table in conjunction with the registration. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor controls: when the first interface acquires the information required for the user authentication, the image processing apparatus to perform a function allowed for the authenticated user, and when the first interface does not acquire the information required for the user authentication, the image processing apparatus to perform a function commonly allowed for users identified by the information acquired by the second interface. ### Claim 8 A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising: determining, by a processor of the image processing apparatus, whether a first interface acquires information required for user authentication; displaying, by the processor and when the first interface acquires the information required for the user authentication, an operation screen customized, using a customization information table, for a user authenticated through the user authentication as an operation screen displayed on the first interface, the customization information table defining information for customizing the operation screen; and displaying, by the processor and when the first interface does not acquire the information required for the user authentication, an operation screen customized, using the customization information table, for a user identified by information acquired by a second interface that acquires information for user identification as the operation screen. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein the second interface comprises a receiver that receives the information for the user identification by wireless communication. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein the information for customizing the operation screen includes at least one of language used on the operation screen and a default setting for image processing operation. ### Claim 11 A non-transitory recording medium storing a program executed by a processor of an image processing apparatus that comprises a first interface that acquires information for user authentication, a second interface that acquires information for user identification, and a memory that stores a customization information table defining information for customizing an operation screen displayed on the first interface, the program causing the processor to: determine whether the first interface acquires the information required for the user authentication; when the first interface acquires the information required for the user authentication, display an operation screen customized, using the customization information table, for a user authenticated through the user authentication as the operation screen; and when the first interface does not acquire the information required for the user authentication, display an operation screen customized, using the customization information table, for a user identified by the information acquired by the second interface as the operation screen. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The recording medium according to claim 11, wherein the second interface comprises a receiver that receives the information for the user identification by wireless communication. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The recording medium according to claim 11, wherein the information for customizing the operation screen includes at least one of language used on the operation screen and a default setting for image processing operation.
