Abstract: An image forming apparatus that reads an image of a document to perform image processing allows a page number to be printed at a user-desired position when an image, on which particular removal processing is performed, is to be printed. A method for controlling the image forming apparatus includes setting a print position of a page number to be printed on a sheet on which an image is to be printed, setting a removal position for performing particular removal processing on the image to be printed on the sheet, determining whether the set print position of the page number and the set removal position overlap each other, and providing notification of a change in the set print position of the page number if it is determined that the set print position of the page number and the set removal position overlap each other.

Abstract: When images on a plurality of documents are read, to cause top and bottom directions of image data of the read documents to match one another, the image data of any document designated from among the documents cannot be rotated. To solve this problem, there is provided a control method in an image reading apparatus having a reading unit for reading images on a plurality of documents, to generate image data, includes selecting at least one of the plurality of documents, and performing rotation control so that the top of the image data of the selected document among the image data generated by the reading unit is directed toward a predetermined direction, wherein only some of the plurality of documents can be selected in the selecting.

Abstract: When an instruction of printing on a mixture of printing paper sheets fed from a cassette tray which stores the printing paper sheets, and printing paper sheets fed from a manual feed tray is accepted, a paper size set for the manual feed tray is specified based on that set for the cassette tray. The specified paper size is set for the manual feed tray, and printing is performed on the mixture of printing paper sheets fed from the cassette tray, and printing paper sheets fed from a manual feed tray for which a paper size is set.

Abstract: When an image processing apparatus transmits information about image data stored therein to a server, the server determines whether or not the image data contains confidential information, and transmits the determination result to the image processing apparatus. When the image processing apparatus receives, from the server, determination result indicating whether or not the image data contains confidential information, then if the determination result indicates that the image data contains specific information, the image processing apparatus limits use of the image data.
