Abstract
An image processing apparatus scans an original document, coverts the original document into image data, creates an electronic file based on the image data, records a scanned mark on the scanned original document, and confirms whether the scanned mark is recorded. The scanned mark includes ID information assigned to the image processing apparatus. The electronic file is created when the scanned mark is not recorded on the original document and when the scanned mark including the ID information is recorded on the original document. The electronic file is not created when a scanned mark other than the scanned mark including the ID information assigned to the image processing apparatus is recorded on the original document.
