Abstract

In a case where a print job not performed according to designation of a first object for performing at least one print job without an authenticated user selecting the at least one print job is included in print jobs stored in association with identification information of the authenticated user, an image processing apparatus displays a second object for displaying a list of the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user in preference to the first object on a screen displayed on an operation device after the authentication.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An image processing apparatus having an operation device, comprising:
one or more memories; and one or more processors that execute a set of instructions to: receive a print job from an information processing apparatus; store the received print job in a storage device in association with identification information of a user; authenticate a user; and without the user selecting at least one print job among the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, perform the at least one print job according to designation of a first object for performing the at least one print job, wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to, in a case where a print job not performed according to the designation of the first object is included in the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, display a second object for displaying a list of the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user in preference to the first object, on a screen displayed on the operation device after the authentication.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the number of the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user exceeds a predetermined number, the second object is displayed in preference to the first object on the screen displayed on the operation device after the authentication.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the predetermined number is an upper limit number of the print jobs that can be performed by the user at one time.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
in a case where a print job corresponding to a function restriction set in the image processing apparatus is included in the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, the second object is displayed in preference to the first object on the screen displayed on the operation device after the authentication, and the function restriction set in the image processing apparatus is a restriction of performance of the print job having a print setting of prohibiting use by the user.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to:
display the list of the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, according to designation of the second object; and perform the print job selected from the list of the print jobs, according to a performance instruction from the user.

6 . A control method for an image processing apparatus having an operation device, the control method comprising:
receiving a print job from an information processing apparatus; storing the received print job in a storage device in association with identification information of a user; authenticating a user; and without the user selecting at least one print job among the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, performing the at least one print job according to designation of a first object for performing the at least one print job, wherein the control method further comprising, in a case where a print job not performed according to the designation of the first object is included in the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, displaying a second object for displaying a list of the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user in preference to the first object, on a screen displayed on the operation device after the authentication.

7 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for making a computer execute a control method for an image processing apparatus having an operation device, the control method comprising:
receiving a print job from an information processing apparatus; storing the received print job in a storage device in association with identification information of a user; authenticating a user; and without the user selecting at least one print job among the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, performing the at least one print job according to designation of a first object for performing the at least one print job, wherein the control method further comprising, in a case where a print job not performed according to the designation of the first object is included in the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user, displaying a second object for displaying a list of the print jobs stored in association with the identification information of the authenticated user in preference to the first object, on a screen displayed on the operation device after the authentication.
