AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus that can perform various operations. The apparatus allows for accepting operation instructions from an operation unit and an information processing apparatus via a network. The apparatus can set restrictions on image processing settings and allow for cancellation of these restrictions. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and efficient way for image processing apparatus to receive and execute operation instructions from multiple sources.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, such a configuration that the lock of the settings can be cancelled only from the information processing apparatus deteriorates convenience for the user.

Abstract

An image processing apparatus is configured to accept an operation instruction from an operation unit of the image processing apparatus and, via a network, an operation instruction from an information processing apparatus. A restriction is set on change in a setting of the image processing apparatus. Whether to permit cancellation of the restriction setting is set. A control is made such a way that the cancellation of the restriction setting is permitted in a case where the cancellation of the restriction setting is set to be permitted. A control is made in such a way that the cancellation of the restriction setting is not permitted in a case where the cancellation of the restriction setting is set not to be permitted. An instruction from the information processing apparatus is accepted to cancel the restriction setting regardless of the setting of whether to permit the cancellation of the restriction setting.

Description

BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0001]The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus that locks settings, a control method for the image processing apparatus, and a recording medium.Description of the Related Art[0002]When using an image processing apparatus, a user sets various setting items, such as a type of paper which is put in each paper feed stage and a language to be displayed on a screen, on a touch panel of the image processing apparatus. It is known that settings of the items are locked from an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer (PC) connected to the image processing apparatus in such a manner that the user does not accidentally change setting values of the items after the values are set.[0003]Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-165771 discusses that a user can set whether to lock settings of an image processing apparatus from an operation unit of the image processing apparatus or an information processing apparatus ...
