Abstract
When an image processing apparatus outputs an image to a display apparatus, the image processing apparatus confirms display conditions on the designated display apparatus. After the confirmation, the image processing apparatus reads an image of a document according to the display conditions. The image to be outputted is a different image from an original image, i.e., the image to be outputted is restricted. The image processing apparatus transmits the restricted image to the display apparatus. The display apparatus displays the restricted image differing from the original image. By restricting the image to be displayed depending on the display apparatus, the security can be improved and leakage of confidential information can be prevented.
