Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus includes: a printer; a user interface; and a controller. In a case that the controller receives an input of authentication information of a user and that the user has logged in to the image processing apparatus based on the authentication information, the controller causes the user interface to display one screen associated with the user logged in to the image processing apparatus. The one screen is one of a plurality of ordered screens and is neither a top screen nor a last screen of the plurality of ordered screens. The one screen is displayed on the user interface in a state of being switchable to a previous screen previous to the one screen and a next screen next to the one screen.
