2. Description of the Related Art As an image processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus having a report printing function for printing setting information, history information, and the like of the image processing apparatus is known. This report printing function includes manual report printing, in which a report is printed according to a user's instruction, and automatic report printing, in which printing is performed when conditions set in the image processing apparatus are met. The output (printed matter) of manual report printing is mainly used by the user who gave the print instruction. On the other hand, the output of automatic report printing is mainly used by the administrator of the image processing apparatus for managing the state of the apparatus and checking the usage status.

By the way, as an image processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus equipped with a personalization function for optimizing the function according to the user is known. In such an image processing apparatus, for example, the user can change the language displayed on the operation unit screen (see Patent Document 1).

However, in general, output by the report printing function is printed in a language preset in the image processing apparatus. Therefore, when the user performs manual report printing, the language displayed on the operation unit screen by the personalization function of the image processing apparatus may differ from the language set for the report printing function. In this case, the output may be created in a language that the user who manually printed the report cannot understand or does not want.

As a countermeasure for this problem, for example, a method of setting the report printing language to match the language displayed on the operation unit screen is conceivable. However, in this case, if a language that the administrator does not understand or does not want is set on the operation panel screen when automatic report printing is executed, the output will be printed in a language that the administrator cannot understand or does not want. It is created and is inconvenient.

Each process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is implemented by the CPU 211 developing the control program stored in the HDD 214 in the work area of the RAM 213 and executing it.

In step S901, the CPU 211 accepts input of authentication information from the user. In subsequent step S902, CPU 211 authenticates and identifies the user who uses MFP 101 based on the authentication information input in step S901. For example, each user causes an ID card reader (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) provided in the MFP 101 to read his or her own ID card when using the MFP 101 . The CPU 211 of the MFP 101 checks the information of the ID card read by the ID card reader against the display language management table 400 to identify the user. However, the method of user authentication is not limited to this, and any method may be used as long as it can identify the user.

Next, in step S903, the CPU 211 acquires the language (display language) set for the user authenticated in step S902 from the display language management table 400 (see FIG. 4). For example, when user A is authenticated, Japanese is acquired, and when user B is authenticated, English is acquired. Note that when the system administrator logs in, the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 described with reference to FIG. 3 is obtained.

Subsequently, in step S<b>904 , the CPU 211 sets the language acquired in step S<b>903 as the display language of the information displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 . This setting is stored in HDD 214 . Thereafter, in step S905, the CPU 211 displays the main screen (main menu) on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 in the language set in step S904, after which the process ends.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of report printing processing in the MFP 101 according to the first embodiment. Each process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10 is implemented by the CPU 211 developing the control program stored in the HDD 214 in the work area of the RAM 213 and executing it.

The process of FIG. 10 is started when the MFP 101 receives an instruction to print a report. First, in step S1001, the CPU 211 checks whether the report for which the print instruction has been received is an automatic report or not in the report management table 800 (FIG. 8)). If it is automatic report printing (YES in S1001), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is ON, the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1002. On the other hand, if it is not automatic report printing (NO in S1001), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is OFF, the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1005.

In step S1002, the CPU 211 determines based on the report management table 800 whether the report for which the print instruction has been received is a result report. If it is a result report (YES in S1002), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is ON, the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1003. FIG. On the other hand, if it is not a result report (NO in S1002), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is OFF, the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1006. FIG.

In step S1003, the CPU 211 refers to FIG. 8 and branches the process according to the print settings for the transmission result report in FIG. 7A. If the transmission result report is set to "ON", the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1005. If the transmission result report is set to "only when an error occurs", the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1004. If the transmission result report is set to "OFF", the CPU 211 terminates the process without printing the transmission result report.

In step S1004, CPU 211 determines whether or not a transmission error has occurred. If a transmission error has actually occurred (YES in S1004), the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1005. terminate.

In step S1005, the CPU 211 acquires the report print language from the display language of the operation unit 220 stored in the HDD 214 in step S904 of FIG. For example, for user A, Japanese is acquired, and for user B, English is acquired as the report printing language. In step S1006, the CPU 211 acquires from the HDD 214 the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 in FIG. 3 as the report printing language.

Upon completion of steps S1005 and S1006, the process proceeds to step S1007, where the CPU 211 creates the print contents of the report in response to the print instruction in the language acquired in steps S1005 and S1006. In subsequent step S1008, the CPU 211 causes the printer unit 221 to print and output the report created in step S1007. This completes the processing.

In the transmission result report in the report management table 800 of FIG. 8, the automatic report column 802 is ON, the result report column 803 is ON, and the print setting of the transmission result report in FIG. 7A is ON. . In this case, according to the flowchart of FIG. 10, the transmission result report is printed in the display language of the operation unit 220. FIG. This is because the transmission result report is often used by the user who performed the transmission job.

However, without being limited to such a configuration, it is also possible to print and output the transmission result report in the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 in FIG. In this case, if it is determined in step S1003 that the print setting for the transmission result report in FIG.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the user of the MFP 101 can print a desired report in the language desired by the user and the system administrator in both cases of manual report printing and automatic report printing.

If it is automatic report printing (YES in S1201), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is ON, the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1202. On the other hand, if it is not automatic report printing (NO in S1201), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is OFF, the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1208.

In step S1202, CPU 211 determines based on report management table 800 whether the report for which the print instruction has been received is a result report. If it is a result report (YES in S1202), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is ON, the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1203. FIG. On the other hand, if it is not a result report (NO in S1202), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction is received is OFF, the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1210. FIG.

In step S1203, the CPU 211 determines whether or not the transmission result report button 1101 shown in FIG. 11 is selected (whether or not the optional transmission result report is valid). If the transmission result report button 1101 has been selected (YES in S1203), the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1204; If the transmission result report button 1101 has not been selected (NO in S1203), the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1205. FIG.

In step S1204, the CPU 211 acquires the transmission settings in FIG. 7A from the report management table in FIG. 8, and branches the processing according to the acquired information. If the transmission setting in FIG. 7A is "error only" or "OFF", the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1208, and if the transmission setting in FIG. The process advances to step S1209.

In step S1205, the CPU 211 determines whether or not the transmission setting in FIG. 7A is set to "ON". If the transmission setting in FIG. 7A is "ON" (YES in S1205), the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1208, and if the transmission setting in FIG. 7A is not "ON" (NO in S1205). , the process advances to step S1206.
