Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a first control device including a processor, and configured to act as an external linkage device, when the processor executes an external linkage program. The external linkage device acquires a token for a user, acquired by an apparatus linkage system linked with the image processing apparatus from an external storage system, from the apparatus linkage system, downloads print data in the storage system from the storage system using the token, without intermediation of the apparatus linkage system, and executes a printing operation according to the print data.
Claims12
An image processing apparatus comprising a first control device including a processor, and configured to act as an external linkage device, when the processor executes an external linkage program,
- the external linkage device being configured to:
- acquire a token for a user, acquired by an apparatus linkage system linked with the image processing apparatus from an external storage system, from the apparatus linkage system;
- download print data in the storage system from the storage system using the token, without intermediation of the apparatus linkage system;
- and
- execute a printing operation according to the print data.
An image processing apparatus that generates scanned data, the image processing apparatus comprising a first control device including a processor, and configured to act as an external linkage device, when the processor executes an external linkage program,
- the external linkage device being configured to:
- acquire a token for a user, acquired by an apparatus linkage system linked with the image processing apparatus from an external storage system, from the apparatus linkage system;
- and
- upload the scanned data to a folder in the storage system using the token, without intermediation of the apparatus linkage system.
An image processing apparatus that generates facsimile reception data, the image processing apparatus comprising a first control device including a processor, and configured to act as an external linkage device, when the processor executes an external linkage program,
- the external linkage device being configured to:
- acquire a token for a user, acquired by an apparatus linkage system linked with the image processing apparatus from an external storage system, from the apparatus linkage system;
- and
- upload the facsimile reception data to a folder in the storage system using the token, without intermediation of the apparatus linkage system.
