Abstract
Allocation reading is started when an allocation origin image processing apparatus sends an allocation reading start alert. An image processing apparatus which received the allocation reading start alert, i.e., the allocation destination image processing apparatus, displays a continue reading specification key on its own display for user specification to continue reading by the allocation reading function. Continue reading is started by user operation of this continue reading specification key. That is, when a document image is read by the allocation destination image processing apparatus, the image data are transmitted to the allocation origin image processing apparatus. Then, the allocation origin image processing apparatus integrates the received image data with the image data read by the allocation origin image processing apparatus.
