Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes: an image reading device and a controller. The controller assigns a variable character string to a file identifier for each page of image files generated by the image reading device, and repeatedly assigns the same character string to the file identifier for each number of unit pages. Further, the controller determines a file name of each of the image files by using the file identifier.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes: an interface configured to communicate with an external storage device; a file acquiring unit configured to acquire a processing target file to be subjected to image formation processing from the external storage device via the interface; a user-information acquiring unit configured to acquire user information for identifying a user who instructs execution of the image formation processing on the processing target file; a determining unit configured to determine, if the processing target file is a file encrypted in a decryptable encryption system, whether user information for identifying a creator of the processing target file associated with the file and the user information acquired by the user-information acquiring unit coincide with each other; and a decrypting unit configured to decrypt the processing target file if the determining unit determines that the pieces of user information coincide with each other.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus determines whether or not facsimile data with transmission terminal identification data added thereto is transferred on the basis of received transmission terminal identification data when receiving the facsimile data with the identification data. The apparatus retrieves whether or not a box to which the identification data is put as a name and to which a setting to transfer the received facsimile data is set is created in a storage unit when determining to transfer the received facsimile data. The apparatus transfers the received facsimile data in accordance with the setting of the box, when it is determined that the box is present.
