Image processing device, image processing method and remote-scan image processing system using the same
First Claim
1. An image processing device which transmits an image file to one of a plurality of external stations through a network, comprising:
- a destination registering unit storing a destination identifier of the image file, the destination identifier indicating one of the external stations to which the image file is transmitted from the image processing device;
a scan condition registering unit storing a scan condition list including a plurality of scan conditions related to a scanner used when scanning a document to obtain the image file and including a relevant scan condition of the image file indicating a resolution of a scanner used when scanning the document to obtain the image file; and
a transmission unit transmitting the image file, together with the stored relevant scan condition, through the network to said one of the external stations indicated by the stored destination identifier,wherein the image processing device is configured to read the relevant scan condition identifier from the scan condition list stored by the scan condition registering unit, based on an input scan condition.
