Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an operation panel, a near field communication portion, and a hardware processor. The operation panel is attached to a main body of the image processing apparatus such that a position relative to the main body is variable. The near field communication portion is arranged in the operation panel and carries out near field communication with a terminal by receiving radio waves transmitted from the terminal. The hardware processor is configured to change a communication distance in near field communication with the terminal through the near field communication portion in accordance with a position of the operation panel.
