Patent ID: 8305614

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: a receiving unit that receives a scan job of a document; an accepting unit that accepts a designation to execute the scan job received by said receiving unit, including a user-designated resolution; a scanning unit that scans the document; a first determining unit that determines whether the number of sheets set in the scan job accepted by said accepting unit coincides with the number of sheets of the document scanned by said scanning unit; a second determining unit that determines whether the user-designated resolution is higher than a prescribed resolution; an executing unit that: converts the data of the scanned document to the user-designated resolution and sends the resolution-converted data of the scanned document if the first determining unit determines that the number of sheets set in the scan job accepted by said accepting unit coincides with the number of sheets of the document scanned by said scanning unit and the second determining unit determines that the user-designated resolution is higher than the prescribed resolution; and sends the data of the scanned document without performing resolution conversion to the user-designated resolution if the first determining unit determines that the number of sheets set in the scan job accepted by said accepting unit coincides with the number of sheets of the document scanned by said scanning unit and the second determining unit determines that the user-designated resolution is lower than the prescribed resolution.
