Abstract
An image processing apparatus according to one aspect of this invention receives an instruction for using a first function, receives, from the user, a document orientation to be used for the first function, stores the received document orientation in a storage unit. The image processing apparatus further causes the storage unit to hold the document orientation stored in the storage unit even when the instruction for using the first function is canceled, and uses the document orientation for a second function different from the first function.
Claims7
An image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions which include a first function and a second function, comprising:
- a reading unit configured to read an original to generate image data;
- a receiving unit configured to receive, from a user, an orientation of the original to be read by the reading unit when the first function, which requires the orientation of the original, is selected;
- a storage unit configured to store the orientation received by the receiving unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to set, in a case where the second function, which requires the orientation of the original, is selected after the first function is canceled, the orientation stored in the storage unit for the second function.
A method for controlling an image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions which include a first function and a second function and a reading unit configured to read an original to generate image data, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, an orientation of the original to be read by the reading unit, when the first function, which requires the orientation of the original, is selected;
- storing, in a memory, the orientation received in the receiving step;
- and
- setting, in a case where the second function, which requires the orientation of the original, is selected after the first function is canceled, the orientation stored in the memory for the second function.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer executable program for executing a method for controlling an image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions which include a first function and a second function a reading unit configured to read an original to generate image data, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, an orientation of the original to be read by the reading unit, when the first function, which requires the orientation of the original, is selected;
- storing, in a memory, the orientation received in the receiving step;
- and
- setting, in a case where the second function, which requires the orientation of the original, is selected after the first function is canceled, the orientation stored in the memory for the second function.
