Abstract: The image processing apparatus has a confidential printing function of saving image data transmitted from an information processing apparatus once to perform printing in accordance with print instruction given by predetermined operation input to the image processing apparatus. When print instruction for the image data saved in the image processing apparatus is given, output characteristics comparing portions compare output characteristics of the image processing apparatus at the time when the image data was saved with output characteristics of the image processing apparatus at the time when print instruction was given. If it is determined that there is a difference of a predetermined value or more between the compared output characteristics, the image processing apparatus regenerates image data to be printed based on the output characteristics of the image processing apparatus at the time when printing was instructed.

Abstract: A client apparatus specifies a particular region in an image to be transmitted and a processing method thereof, and generates processing information. A job is generated based on the image and the processing information, and transmitted to an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus transmits the image via facsimile. According to the processing information, processing of erasing a particular image within the particular region is performed. The processing information and the processed image are stored in a storage section. When the image is retransmitted, the image is read from the storage section and edited so that an image of a string such as a date is attached to the particular region, according to the processing information. The edited image is transmitted via facsimile. Thereby, it is possible to prevent leakage of confidential information from an image stored for reuse.
