  • Patent number: 11785163
    Abstract: A first printer may include a controller configured to: in a case where a first predetermined operation is accepted in a state where second printer identification information and specific service-related information are stored in association with each other in the server, cause the display unit to display a notification screen that prompts a second predetermined operation, the second predetermined operation being for changing a printer used for the service from a second printer to the first printer; and in a case where the second predetermined operation is accepted, send a printer changing request including first printer identification information to the server. In a case where the printer changing request is sent to the server, the first printer identification information is stored, instead of the second printer identification information, in association with the specific service-related information in the server.

  • Patent number: 11611683
    Abstract: A server includes memory, a request receiver, a first transmitter, a second transmitter, and a first memory controller. The memory includes a first table to store first identification information identifying a communication device and first user information in association with each other. In response to a reset instruction to reset first identification information being input at a communication device storing the first identification information, the request receiver receive the first identification information, and an identification information request from the communication device. The first transmitter transmits second identification information different from the first identification information to the communication device. The second transmitter transmits the first identification information to the communication device, the first identification information being to be stored in the communication device instead of the second identification information.
