Abstract: An image processing apparatus has an internal memory section installed within an apparatus housing, a communication section for performing data communications with an external memory medium detachably attached to the apparatus housing, and a data writing section for writing data to the external memory medium. When the data writing section detects that the external memory medium is detached from the apparatus housing during writing the data to the external memory medium, the data writing section writes target data that is in a process of writing to the external memory medium to the internal memory section. When the data writing section detects that the external memory medium is attached again to the apparatus housing, the data writing section reads out the target data from the internal memory section, and writes the target data to the external memory medium.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided to include the information retrieving unit for retrieving writing processing information out of the external memorizing device, and the image processing apparatus turns out as to whether certain information is in a processing of writing by retrieving the writing processing information out of the external memorizing device. If it is turned out that the status is in a processing of writing, the corresponding information is automatically deleted. A user is not necessary to delete the writing failed file manually, so that the user's work load will be reduced.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is capable of communicating data with a plurality of external apparatuses attached to the image processing apparatus. Each of the external apparatuses includes an advisor that advises a user of access to the external apparatus. A display section displays information on the external apparatuses attached to the image processing apparatus. A selecting section selects a desired one external apparatus from among the plurality of external apparatuses displayed on said display section. A transmitter transmits an access command to the desired one external apparatus. When the selected external apparatus receives the access command, the advisor advises the user of the access to the selected external apparatus, emitting flashing light.
