Abstract

A plurality of image processing apparatuses and a management server are connected to an IP network. Upon receiving the IP address of an image processing apparatus, the management server assigns identification information corresponding to its IP address, for a predetermined limited period. If a user inputs identification information of a destination apparatus during the predetermined limited period, the image processing apparatus transmits processed image information to the destination apparatus that is connected to the IP network.
