a character recognition processor which reads an image of a document and extracts text information included in the document;
a setting manager which manages settings including a setting to allow or prohibit a function of character recognition by the character recognition processor;
a job controller which controls execution of a job related to reading of the document; and
an operation controller which provides, to a user, a setting menu to receive a setting of one or more items related to the execution of the job and receives a setting from the user, wherein
