The present invention can provide an image processing system in which a job setting screen is displayed on a local apparatus in consideration of the capabilities of the local apparatus and a remote apparatus when a plurality of image processing apparatuses cooperatively execute a job. To accomplish this, in the present image processing system, the local apparatus acquires function information on the remote apparatus when the plurality of image processing apparatuses executes one job in cooperation. Furthermore, the local apparatus controls the display contents of a setting screen used when an operator sets a job setting in order to restrict a job function based on the acquired function information and function information on the local apparatus itself.
A first image processing apparatus for executing a job in cooperation with a second image processing apparatus being connectable to the first image processing apparatus via a network, the first image processing apparatus comprising:
A method performed by a first image processing apparatus for executing a job in cooperation with a second image processing apparatus being connectable to the first image processing apparatus via a network, the method comprising steps of:
A non-transient computer-readable storage medium storing program code that, when executed, causes a computer of a first image processing apparatus to perform a method in which the first image processing apparatus executes a job in cooperation with a second image processing apparatus being connectable to the first image processing apparatus via a network, wherein the method includes steps of:
