Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprising an local interface and a network interface and capable of transmitting an image data to a host apparatus with ease. A local I/F management section and a network I/F management section are prepared, and when image data read by a scanner control section is to be transmitted via the interfaces, activated states of the local interface and the network interface are detected. In case the local interface only is in an activated state, image data is transmitted to a host apparatus connected to the local interface, without the host selection by a predetermined user interface means according to a predetermined key operation, while in case the network interface is in an activated state, image data is transmitted to the host apparatus selected by the host selection by the user interface means according to the predetermined key operation through the local interface or network interface.
