Abstract
In a multi-function peripheral (MFP), in some instances, the use of various data transmission functions, such as e-mail or fax, can be prohibited. In such circumstances, acquiring destination information from a business card by optical character recognition and registering the destination information in a list of the MFP's transmission destinations or in an address book can cause an error and force a user to perform additional operations. Based on device settings and user authentication settings, destinations under a disabled protocol are set in a non-display state in advance at the time of display of optical character recognition results.
