Abstract
In a multifunction peripheral (MFP) including an operation key for setting a folder of an authenticated user as an address of image data, setting received authentication information or setting pre-registered authentication information that has been associated with a user is selected, and when the operation key is operated, the authentication information is set according to the selected content. The image data is then processed using the set authentication information.
Claims14
An image processing system comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive authentication information from a user;
- a performing unit configured to perform login of a user based on the authentication information received by the receiving unit;
- an operation key configured to set a folder which has been pre-registered in association with the user as a transmission destination of image data;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit image data using authentication information to the transmission destination set by operation of the operation key;
- and
- a selection unit configured to select whether to set, as authentication information to be used when accessing the transmission destination set by operation of the operation key, the authentication information which is received by the receiving unit or to set, as authentication information to be used when accessing the transmission destination set by the operation key, authentication information which has been pre-registered in association with the user.
