Abstract:
An image input/output apparatus comprising:input means for inputting image data from at least one image input unit;temporary storage means for temporarily storing the image data;secondary storage means for storing the image data temporarily stored in said temporary storage means, a capacity of said secondary storage means being larger than that of said temporary storage means;output means for outputting the image data to at least one image output unit;detection means for detecting abnormality of said secondary storage means; andcontrol means for controlling the input and output of the image data in accordance with an image processing parameter representing image processing of one unit to be executed,wherein said control means divides the image processing represented by the image processing parameter into an image input job to input the image data with said input means and an image output job to output the image data with said output means, andsaid control means independently controls execution of the image input job and execution of the image output job in accordance with the abnormality detection result of said secondary storage means obtained by said detection means,wherein, in a case where the abnormality of said secondary storage means is detected by said detection means, said control means changes the image processing parameter for an image processing parameter representing the image processing executable without using said secondary storage means, and independently controls the execution of the image input job and the execution of the image output job in accordance with the changed image processing parameter.
