Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a wireless communication interface that receives information related to a processing condition for image processing stored in and specified with a terminal device, the processing condition being a user setting set by a particular user; a controller that sets a state in which the information related to the processing condition is accepted with the wireless communication interface from one terminal device, which performs wireless communication, and not from another terminal device, which performs wireless communication, other than the one terminal device; a processor with memory having instructions to cause the processor to execute an image processing unit that performs the image processing; and a user interface that allows a user to input a performance instruction for performing the image processing, wherein when the another terminal device is held over the image processing apparatus, a change in the processing condition is not accepted, wherein, when the information related to the processing condition from the one terminal device is received with the wireless communication interface, the controller sets a state in which the information related to the processing condition is not accepted from the other terminal device, wherein, when the user does not input the performance instruction within a predetermined time period, the controller releases the state in which the information related to the processing condition is not accepted from the other terminal device, wherein the processing condition includes at least one of conditions for forming an image with an image forming device, conditions for reading an image with an image reading device, and conditions for outputting information of an image read by the image reading device to an external device, and wherein, when the user taps any position on a screen of the one terminal device, the processing condition is transmitted from the one terminal device to the image processing apparatus.
