Abstract
A terminal device writes authorization information into a storing unit of an image processing apparatus irrespective of whether power is supplied to the image processing apparatus. A control unit of the image processing apparatus starts the image processing apparatus, performs user authorization using the authorization information, and enters a standby state upon start of supply of power by a power supply unit in the case where the authorization information is written. The control unit starts the image processing apparatus and enters the standby state without performing the user authorization upon the start of supply of power by the power supply unit in the case where the authorization information is not written. When the terminal device writes the authorization information into the storing unit with the image processing apparatus being supplied with power, the control unit performs the user authorization.
