Abstract
When a storage medium is connected to an MFP, it is determined whether or not the connected storage medium stores data. If it is determined that the storage medium does not store any data for printing, a setting dialog of scanning processing of an original using a scanner is automatically displayed, and the scanning processing of an original is started so as to store the image data corresponding to the original into the storage medium.
