Image processing apparatus which executes operations by receiving control information from external devices such as personal computers, interface information disclosing program embodied in a computer readable recording medium, and interface information disclosing method

摘要

To improve a processing efficiency of operations executed in response to external controls, an MFP includes an operation processing element capable of executing multiple types of operations, an interface (I/F) information table storage element which stores an I/F information table where each piece of I/F information of multiple pieces of the I/F information is correlated with one of multiple access levels, each piece of the I/F information including a control command to control the operation processing element, a request acquiring element which receives a request to acquire a piece of the I/F information, a level determining element which determines an access level of the acquisition request, an I/F information acquiring element which acquires a piece of the I/F information correlated with the determined access level in accordance with a level definition table, and an I/F information transmitting element which transmits the I/F information.
