  • Patent number: 12099755
    Abstract: A printer includes a controller, a memory, and a user interface. The printer has a first mode and a second mode. The controller disables the first mode when enabling the second mode and disables the second mode when enabling the first mode. The controller executes a first printing process while the first mode is enabled. In the first printing process, the controller receives a print job from a client device, stores the received print job in the memory, and performs printing based on the stored print job upon receiving a storage print command. The controller executes a second printing process and restricts the first printing process while the second mode is enabled. In the second printing process, the controller receives a print job from a server in response to receiving a prescribed input operation via the user interface, and performs printing based on the received print job from the server.

  • Publication number: 20240259432
    Abstract: In an image forming device, on a condition that a transmission instruction including an email address is received, and the memory stores a registered domain matching a target domain extracted from the email address, a controller performs a transmission process. The transmission instruction is an instruction to transmit scan data to be generated by the scanner to the email address. The transmission process is to transmit an email having the generated scan data to the email address. On a condition that the transmission instruction is received, and the memory stores no registered domain matching the target domain, the controller restricts the transmission process. On a condition that the transmission instruction is received, the memory stores no registered domain matching the target domain, and the target domain is a subdomain of a specific domain, the controller performs the transmission process. The specific domain is a registered domain stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 11675551
    Abstract: A printing system includes a printer, a server device, and a client device. The client device receives identification information of a user, and transmits a print job for an image to be printed to the server device. The print job is associated with a computer name. The computer name specifis the client device and is assigned to the received identification information. The server device stores the print job in a specific folder having a name corresponding to the identification information to which the computer name is assigned and which is associated with the print job. The printer searches a folder provided in the server device to find the specific folder, receives selection of a print job from among one or more print jobs stored in the found folder, receives the selected print job from the server device, and prints an image based on the received print job.
