An image forming apparatus that includes an image capturing unit capturing an image in front of the apparatus; a display displaying a screen; and a controller including one or more processors, the controller configured to function as: an acquisition unit acquiring a face image of a user from the image captured by the image capturing unit; an authentication unit authenticating, using the face image of the user acquired by the acquisition unit, the user who is within a first distance from the apparatus; a tracking unit tracking the user authenticated by the authentication unit; and a control unit causing the display to display a screen that is based on information corresponding to the user tracked by the tracking unit when the user has reached a position at a second distance from the apparatus, the second distance being shorter than the first distance.

Image forming apparatus, method for controlling image forming apparatus, and storage medium storing computer program

An image processing apparatus for inspection of a sheet on which a code image obtained by encoding predetermined information is printed includes: a first acquisition unit which acquires positional information indicating a position and a size of the code image in the sheet; a second acquisition unit which acquires a plurality of read images obtained by a plurality of reading units reading different portions of the sheet, respectively, wherein the read images become an image indicating the entire sheet by being combined; a determination unit which determines whether any one of the read images includes the entire code image based on the positional information; and an extraction unit which extracts the predetermined information by, in a case where there is a read image including the entire code image, reading the code image in that read image.
