• the storage apparatus stores a database in which the identification information, at least one of the functions, and the setting information are registered in association with each other, and
• the display control unit acquires the setting information from the database according to the identification information input through reading of the identification medium and the functions to which the user interface screen displayed by the display unit when the identification medium is read corresponds, and causes the display unit to display the acquired setting information.

A control method of an image scanner comprising:

• a display control step for causing a display unit to display a user interface screen configured to receive operation;
• an authentication step for authenticating a user based on identification information input through reading of an identification medium having the identification information of the user;
• and
• a setting step for setting one of functions of the image scanner according to setting information selected on the user interface screen in a state in which the user is successfully authenticated in the authentication step, wherein
• the display control step includes referring to a database in which the identification information, at least one of the functions, and the setting information are registered in association with each other to acquire the setting information corresponding to the identification information input through reading of the identification medium and the functions to which the user interface screen displayed by the display unit when the identification medium is read corresponds, and causing the display unit to display the acquired setting information.
