Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a set of program instructions executed by an information processing device. The program instructions, when executed by the information processing device, causes the information processing device to perform a data listing to display a list of first identifiers and second identifiers on the display unit in a manner selectable through the operation unit, when the operation unit receives a user's operation to select a combination of a first device and a second device among the plurality of devices. The program instructions include transmitting a first recording instruction information to the second device via the communication unit when the operation unit receives a user's operation to select one first identifier. The program instructions include transmitting a second recording instruction information to the second device via the communication unit when the operation unit receives a user's operation to select one second identifier.

Abstract: A client device may cause an information memory to store communication information related to whether or not two devices are capable of directly communicating, and decide a specific communication path using the communication information. The specific communication path may be a path capable of supplying print data to a print device. The client device may send a print indication to a first device that is to perform a process performed first among one or more processes performed sequentially for realizing a print. In a case where a data format of target data is not a data format which the print device is capable of interpreting, the client device may decide the specific communication path such that the converting device is present on the specific communication path.
