Patent ID: 8542380

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: a print control unit configured to cause a printing apparatus to print a sheet image, on a sheet, corresponding to a plurality of images stored in a memory and including a plurality of mark areas including a plurality of first mark areas for instructing, for each of the plurality of images, whether to execute a printing process through the printing apparatus on the image, and a plurality of second mark areas for instructing, for each of the plurality of images, whether to erase the image from the memory; an acquiring unit configured to acquire an image read by a reading apparatus of the sheet on which the sheet image is printed by the printing apparatus, with at least one of the plurality of mark areas being marked by a user; a processing unit configured to execute the printing process through the printing apparatus on an image corresponding to one of the first mark areas being marked, and/or the process of erasure on an image corresponding to one of the second mark areas being marked from the memory, sequentially for each of images corresponding to at least one of the first mark areas and the second mark areas being marked in the read image acquired by said acquiring unit; and a determining unit configured to determine whether said processing unit executes and successfully completes the printing process through the printing apparatus on each image, for printing of each image, wherein, in a case where said both the printing process through the printing apparatus and the process of erasure are to be executed on a set of images, for each of the set of images, when said determining unit determines that said processing unit executes and successfully completes the printing process through the printing apparatus on the image, said processing unit executes the process of erasure on the image, and when said determining unit determines that said processing unit executes but does not successful complete the printing process through the printing apparatus on the image, the process of erasure for the image, and the printing process and the process of erasure for all subsequent images among the set of images are inhibited.
