Abstract
A web browser section provided in a scanner comprises a management table for relating URLs and setup values to each other and managing them and a URL interpretation section. A URL entered from a web browser installed in an information terminal is converted into a setup value by the URL interpretation section. The setup value is set in a drive control section through a setting section, whereby an image is read under a desired read condition.
