An image processing apparatus comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive a job from an external apparatus (200, 210, 300); an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the basis of the job received by the receiving unit; an operation panel; and a control device, wherein the image processing apparatus has two types of connection modes with the external apparatus (200, 210, 300): a cloud connection and a direct connection, wherein the cloud connection is a connection between the image processing apparatus and the external apparatus (200, 210, 300) through a cloud server, and wherein the direct connection is a connection with no cloud server or router involved in the connection between the external apparatus (200, 210, 300) and the image processing apparatus, wherein the image processing apparatus can be in a restriction status in which the image processing is restricted, wherein in a case of enabled cloud connection with the external apparatus (200, 300), the control device is configured to perform: an establishing process of establishing an allowance status in which the image processing apparatus is allowed to be designated as a job input destination from a user, with respect to the external apparatus; and a first restricting process of restricting the image processing apparatus from being in the allowance status in a case where the image processing apparatus is in the restriction status, the first restricting process involving a respective sign-out, in a case of enabled direct connection with the external apparatus, the control device is configured to perform: a transmitting process of transmitting receiver information, which is information for making the image processing apparatus be recognized as a job input destination, to the external apparatus; and a second restricting process of restricting the receiver information from being transmitted by the transmitting process in a case where the image processing apparatus is in the restriction status, characterized in that the establishing process involves a user operating at the operation panel a sign-in with respect to the external apparatus, and the control device provides a setting screen on the operation panel, which allows the setting whether to perform the restricting process or not for each connection mode individually. a receiving unit configured to receive a job from an external apparatus (200, 210, 300); an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the basis of the job received by the receiving unit; an operation panel; and a control device, wherein the image processing apparatus has two types of connection modes with the external apparatus (200, 210, 300): a cloud connection and a direct connection, wherein the cloud connection is a connection between the image processing apparatus and the external apparatus (200, 210, 300) through a cloud server, and wherein the direct connection is a connection with no cloud server or router involved in the connection between the external apparatus (200, 210, 300) and the image processing apparatus, wherein the image processing apparatus can be in a restriction status in which the image processing is restricted, wherein in a case of enabled cloud connection with the external apparatus (200, 300), the control device is configured to perform: an establishing process of establishing an allowance status in which the image processing apparatus is allowed to be designated as a job input destination from a user, with respect to the external apparatus; and a first restricting process of restricting the image processing apparatus from being in the allowance status in a case where the image processing apparatus is in the restriction status, the first restricting process involving a respective sign-out, an establishing process of establishing an allowance status in which the image processing apparatus is allowed to be designated as a job input destination from a user, with respect to the external apparatus; and a first restricting process of restricting the image processing apparatus from being in the allowance status in a case where the image processing apparatus is in the restriction status, the first restricting process involving a respective sign-out, in a case of enabled direct connection with the external apparatus, the control device is configured to perform: a transmitting process of transmitting receiver information, which is information for making the image processing apparatus be recognized as a job input destination, to the external apparatus; and a second restricting process of restricting the receiver information from being transmitted by the transmitting process in a case where the image processing apparatus is in the restriction status, a transmitting process of transmitting receiver information, which is information for making the image processing apparatus be recognized as a job input destination, to the external apparatus; and a second restricting process of restricting the receiver information from being transmitted by the transmitting process in a case where the image processing apparatus is in the restriction status, characterized in that the establishing process involves a user operating at the operation panel a sign-in with respect to the external apparatus, and
