IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND DESTINATION SETTING METHOD USED IN IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a display unit that displays a destination selection screen and a destination registration screen. A detection unit detects a selection with respect to the destination selection screen indicating a selected destination from a plurality of selectable destinations. An interface connects an external input device to the image processing apparatus, and receives an input from the external input device. The destination registration screen is updated to display one or more selected destinations. In response to the input being received from the external input device, the display unit changes the first region of the operation screen from the destination selection screen to an input screen in which destination information input using the external input device is displayed. In response to a detected transmission input, an image is transmitted to each destination displayed in the destination registration region.
