Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises a read unit for reading a data file stored in a storage medium which is removably loaded into an apparatus body, a determining unit for determining a file type of the data file read out of the storage medium, and a processing control unit for executing predetermined processing corresponding to the determined file type. When a data file to be processed is selected from the storage medium, a file type of the selected data file is determined and the predetermined processing corresponding to the determined file type is executed. Just by selecting the data file stored in the storage medium or the file type, the data file is automatically processed in the operation mode or the print mode corresponding to the file type. Operability in processing data files is improved.
