IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology which reduces the time until a series of operations of an image processing apparatus is completed without unnecessary processing. SOLUTION: A display control part displays an operation screen on a display part to input configuration values of configuration items related to copy operation of an image forming device (#1), and a receiving part receives configuration input of configuration values of configuration items through the operation screen (#2:YES). After the receiving part receives all configuration input necessary for document read operation (#3:YES), if the receiving part receives the instruction that permits to start document read operation before user operation and a document is set on a document placement part (#5:NO, #6 and #7:YES), a read control part allows the document reading part to start document read operation at this time and the display control part displays a next operation screen (operation screen related to image forming operation) on the display part (#9).
