Abstract: A communication system includes a server and a terminal device. In a memory of the server, first identification information is correlated to a plurality of sets of user information and a plurality of sets of restriction information. The first identification information identifies an image processing apparatus. Each of the plurality of sets of restriction information includes information for restricting settings of an image process available to a user specified by a corresponding set of user information. After receiving the target user information and identification information identifying the image processing apparatus, a server side controller acquires and transmits to the terminal device target restriction information. A terminal side controller receives the target restriction information from the server as a response to transmission of the target user information and the identification information; and outputting the target restriction information.

Abstract: In a server, a storage is configured to store status of a service agreement for delivering a cartridge with an image-recording device. For the image-recording device, the cartridge is available in a first mode and is unavailable in a second mode. The status includes a first status indicating that the service agreement has been in force and a second status indicating that the service agreement has been canceled. The storage is further configured to store instructions causing the server to receive a cancellation request of the service agreement from an information processor; transmit a switch command to switch an operating mode of the image-recording device from the first to second mode in response to the cancellation request; and change the status stored in the storage to the second status in response to receiving a response indicating that the operating mode has been switched from the first to second mode.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a controller configured to control an image recorder to execute a recording processing in a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the controller controls the image recorder to execute the recording processing when a specific-type cartridge has not been connected to a connecting portion and controls the image recorder not to execute the recording processing when the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion. In the second mode, the controller controls the image recorder to execute the recording processing in any of a case where the specific-type cartridge has not been connected to the connecting portion and a case where the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion. The controller stores first recording information relating to the recording processing executed when the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion.

Abstract: A terminal device configured to support selection of a printer, the terminal device including: a first processor; and a first memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform: registering area information which defines an area including a location of a printer and is for associating the area with the printer located in the area; acquiring the registered area information; acquiring terminal position information which represents the position of the terminal device; and specifying a candidate of a printer to be used based on the area information and the terminal position information, wherein the area is defined based on three or more positions.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a first acquisition unit acquiring input information from an outside for starting execution of an image processing function; a determination unit determining whether a specific apparatus connected through a network is logged in based on specific identification information corresponding to the input information; a first request unit requesting input of authentication information from the outside; and a function control unit controlling execution of the image processing function. When it is determined that the specific apparatus is not logged in, the first request unit requests the input of the authentication information from the outside. When it is determined that the specific apparatus is logged in, the function control unit permits the execution of the image processing function without the first request unit requesting the input of the authentication information from the outside.
