Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an imput section for inputting image data, a discriminating section for discriminating a process to which the image data should be subjected, and a display for displaying an image represented by the image data when the discriminating section fails in the discrimination. The apparatus further includes an interface for receiving information inputted by an operator and being relevant to the process to which the image should be subjected, and an image processing section for processing the image data according to a result of discrimination of the discriminating section and the information inputted via the interface. Through the above apparatus, by supplementing the discrimination as to whether or not to process the image data by human determination, processing of the image data is reliably executed.

Abstract: A printing system includes an input unit for entering a printing job, a calculator for calculating copying cost according to the input printing job, a display for displaying the calculated copying cost, and a controller for allowing modification of a displayed printing job, and permitting a printing operation after confirming that there is no modification in the displayed printing job. The cost of a desired printing job can be displayed prior to a print out operation, so that modification of the printing mode is allowed. Since a print out operation is permitted after confirming the display of the copying cost, the expense required for printing can be identified in advance.
