The image processing apparatus has a user interface capable of accepting from a user, in advance of receiving by a network interface a shutdown request, a setting of whether or not to perform shutdown processing based on the received shutdown request when the image processing apparatus is in a state of being connected to a fax line and when fax communication is possible. The image processing apparatus executes, in accordance with the setting accepted in advance from the user by the user interface, the shutdown processing of the image processing apparatus based on the shutdown request received from the external apparatus. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An image processing apparatus capable of fax communication, comprising: a network interface that receives information from an external apparatus; a user interface that accepts a setting from a user; a controller, having at least one processor which executes instructions stored in a memory, one or more circuitry, or, a combination of the at least one processor and the one or more circuitry, being configured to: accept from a user, in advance of receiving by the network interface a shutdown request from the external apparatus, a setting of whether or not to perform shutdown processing based on the shutdown request received by the network interface when the image processing apparatus is in a state of being connected to a line for fax communication and when fax communication is possible; and execute, in accordance with the setting accepted in advance from the user by the user interface, the shutdown processing of the image processing apparatus based on the shutdown request received from the external apparatus. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller further determines whether or not the image processing apparatus is capable of fax communication, and in accordance with both the setting and a determination result of whether or not the image processing apparatus is capable of the fax communication, the controller executes the shutdown processing based on the received shutdown request received. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising: a fax communication interface that connects to the line for fax communication, wherein the controller determines whether or not the image processing apparatus is capable of the fax communication based on a voltage applied to the fax communication interface. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a fax communication interface for connecting to the line for fax communication, wherein the controller determines whether or not a voltage is applied to the fax communication interface via the line, and execute, based on both the setting and the determination, the shutdown processing in accordance with the shutdown request received from the external apparatus. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller does not perform the shutdown processing even though the shutdown request is received from the external apparatus, based on the setting not to perform the shutdown processing even though the shutdown request is received, the processor. ### Claim 6 An image processing apparatus capable of communication with an external apparatus, the image processing apparatus comprising: a network interface that receives a shutdown request from the external apparatus; a controller, having at least one processor which executes instructions stored in a memory, one or more circuitry, or, a combination of the at least one processor and the one or more circuitry, being configured to: determine whether or not the image processing apparatus is capable of data transmission and reception via a fax line; and control to perform shutdown processing, when the network interface has received the shutdown request, wherein the controller does not execute the shutdown processing based on the shutdown request when it is determined that the data transmission and reception via the fax line is possible, and wherein the controller executes the shutdown processing of the image processing apparatus based on the shutdown request when it is determined that the data transmission and reception via the fax line is not possible. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The image processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the controller determines whether or not the data transmission and reception via the fax line are possible based on whether or not the image processing apparatus has a fax function. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The image processing apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising a connector that connects to the fax line, wherein the controller determines whether or not the data transmission and reception via the fax line are possible based on a voltage applied to the connector. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The image processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the controller further allows a user to select whether or not to permit an execution of the shutdown processing based on the shutdown request if the image processing apparatus is capable of transmission and reception via the fax line, wherein the controller performs control to execute the shutdown processing of the image processing apparatus based on the received shutdown request in a case that the execution of the shutdown processing is selected to be permitted by the user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The image processing apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising a power supply control unit that controls a power supply for the shutdown processing, wherein the controller controls to not execute the shutdown processing based on the shutdown request in a case where a communication with the power supply control unit is not able to be performed. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The image processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the controller transmits screen information to the external apparatus in response to an access from a Web browser of the external apparatus, and the shutdown request is transmitted from the external apparatus in response to an instruction made via a screen displayed on the external apparatus based on the screen information. ### Claim 12 A method of controlling an image processing apparatus capable of fax communication with an external apparatus, the method comprising: accepting from a user, in advance of receiving a shutdown request for executing shutdown processing of the image processing apparatus from an external apparatus via a network, a setting of whether or not to perform the shutdown processing based on the shutdown request received when the image processing apparatus is in a state of being connected to a line for fax communication and when fax communication is possible; and receiving the shutdown request from the external apparatus via the network; executing, in accordance with the setting accepted in advance from the user, the shutdown processing of the image processing apparatus based on the shutdown request received from the external apparatus. ### Claim 13 A method of controlling an image processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus, the method comprising: receiving a shutdown request from the external apparatus; determining whether or not the image processing apparatus is capable of data transmission and reception via a fax line; and performing control to, when the shutdown request is received, not execute shutdown processing based on the shutdown request in a case that it is determined that the data transmission and reception via the fax line are possible, and execute the shutdown processing of the image processing apparatus based on the shutdown request in a case that it is determined that the data transmission and reception via the fax line are not possible.
