Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus in which when a scanning job for which a fee is charged is executed, utilization of scanned data by a user who has not paid the fee can be prevented and it is possible to avoid a situation in which a user who has paid the fee cannot utilize the scanned data. The apparatus scans in a document by a scanner to thereby generate data, encodes the data using a password and stores the encoded data in an external storage device. Next, the apparatus executes fee-charging processing to charge the price for the chargeable scanning job. After the charging processing is executed, the apparatus prints out a password used when the stored encrypted data is to be decoded.
