Abstract: A wireless communication system comprises a base station, and a wireless communication apparatus performing wireless communications with the base station, wherein the wireless communication apparatus comprises a communication unit that performs wireless communications with the base station and wireless communications between apparatuses without involving the base station; a storage unit that stores setting information used by the communication unit for wireless communications with the base station; a detector that detects whether of not there is a communicable object apparatus in a range where the communication unit is able to perform wireless communications between apparatuses; and a transmitter that transmits the setting information stored in the storage unit to the object apparatus detected by the detector via the communication unit.

Abstract: A charging information of every printing data producer or every section of printing data producers can be easily obtained without increase of cost of a printer and a higher rank device connected to the printer by letting the higher rank device to acquire from the printer values of a total print number counter before transmission of a printing data from the higher rank device to the printer, store the values of the total print number counter correspondingly to a name of the printing data producer attached to the printing data, calculate an accumulated number of prints for every name of printing data producer on the basis of the accumulated value of the total print number counter after the printing of the printing data is completed and record a result of calculation correspondingly to the name of the producer.
