  • Publication number: 20240094967
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to provide a mobile input function that enables the image forming apparatus to accept input operations from a mobile terminal via a network interface. After starting to provide the mobile input function, the controller sends display data to the mobile terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the mobile terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the mobile terminal. The controller displays a standby screen including a particular operable object on a touch panel when the mobile input function is not provided. When the particular operable object is operated, the controller switches the standby screen to a local operation screen. In response to accepting an operation on the local operation screen, the controller performs a process according to what kind of operation has been accepted on the local operation screen.

  • Publication number: 20230397003
    Abstract: A communication device may obtain second security information in a case where a first instruction for establishing a second wireless connection with a second parent station is accepted under a state where a first wireless connection with a first parent station is established, and determine whether a second security level indicated by the second security information is lower than a first security level indicated by first security information in a memory. The communication device may execute at least one process of a notification process or an acceptance process in a case where it is determined that the second security level is lower than the first security level and establish the second wireless connection with the second parent station without executing the at least one process in a case where it is determined that the second security level is not lower than the first security level.

  • Publication number: 20230305783
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus, having a mobile input function and a remote input function, includes a network interface, an operation panel including a touch panel, and a controller. After starting to provide one of the input functions, the controller sends display data to an operation terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the operation terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the operation terminal. While the mobile input function is being provided, the controller does not display a local operation screen on the touch panel. While the remote input function is being provided, the controller displays the local operation screen on the touch panel, and updates, in response to receiving operation data from the operation terminal via the network interface, display contents on the local operation screen, based on an operation indicated by the received operation data.
