Abstract
In a data processing apparatus, it is an object to realize a mechanism for allowing a setup regarding an image processing apparatus to be made so as to easily execute a job which is requested from said data processing apparatus. Information including an output destination is inputted. Setup information regarding the setup of the own image processing apparatus is stored. The setup information regarding the setup of the own image processing apparatus is transmitted on the basis of the information which is inputted.
Claims17
An image processing apparatus which can communicate with at least one data processing apparatus through a network and which executes a job requested by the at least one data processing apparatus, said image processing apparatus comprising:
- a read unit that reads out information, including a transmission destination on the at least one data processing apparatus on the network, from a tag attached to a separate portable device, wherein the at least one data processing apparatus is different from the portable device;
- a storing unit that stores setup information regarding a setup of said image processing apparatus on the network, the setup information including network address information of said image processing apparatus;
- and
- a transmitting unit that
- (a) receives (i) the transmission destination on the at least one data processing apparatus read out by said read unit and (ii) the setup information stored in said storing unit, and
- (b) transmits the setup information through the network to the at least one data processing apparatus based on the transmission destination,
- wherein the at least one data processing apparatus
- executes the setup of said image processing apparatus based on the setup information transmitted by said transmitting unit, and
- causes said image processing apparatus to execute the requested job via the network based on the network address information included in the setup information.
A control method for an image processing apparatus which can communicate with at least one data processing apparatus through a network and which executes a job requested by the at least one data processing apparatus, said control method comprising:
- a reading step that reads out information, including a transmission destination on the at least one data processing apparatus on the network, from a tag attached to a separate portable device, wherein the at least one data processing apparatus is different from the portable device;
- and
- a transmitting step that
- (a) receives the transmission destination on the at least one data processing. apparatus read out in said reading step and that
- (b) transmits through the network, from a storing unit to the at least one data processing apparatus based on the received transmission destination, setup information regarding a setup of the image processing apparatus on the network, the setup information including network address information of the image processing apparatus
- wherein the at least one data processing apparatus
- executes the setup of the image processing apparatus based on the setup information transmitted in said transmitting step and
- causes the image processing apparatus to execute the requested job via the network based on the network address information included in the setup information.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for controlling a computer to execute a control method in an image processing apparatus which can communicate with at least one data processing apparatus through a network and executes a job which is requested by the at least one data processing apparatus, said method comprising:
- a reading step that reads out information, including an output destination on the at least one data processing apparatus on the network, from a tag attached to a separate portable device, wherein the at least one data processing apparatus is different from the portable device;
- and
- a transmitting step that
- (a) receives the output destination on the at least one data processing apparatus read out in said reading step and
- (b) transmits through the network, from a storing unit to the at least one data processing apparatus based on the received output destination, setup information regarding a setup of the image processing apparatus on the network, the setup information including network address information of the image processing apparatus,
- wherein the at least one data processing apparatus
- executes the setup of the image processing apparatus based on the setup information transmitted in said transmitting step and
- causes the image processing apparatus to execute the requested job via the network based on the network address information included in the setup information.
