  • Publication number: 20240057188
    Abstract: A communication device may cause a first wireless interface of the communication device to send a first signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a respondent state. The respondent state may be a state in which a Wi-Fi connection is able to be established between the communication device and a terminal device. The first signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before a Bluetooth connection is established between the communication device and a terminal device. The communication device may cause the first wireless interface to send a second signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a non-respondent state. The non-respondent state may be a state in which the Wi-Fi connection is not able to be established. The second signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before the Bluetooth connection is established.

  • Patent number: 11831839
    Abstract: The technique of the present disclosure can achieve processing efficiency and prevention of improper drawing in printing a monochrome representation of color data. In performing discriminability reproducing color conversion processing, a PDL analysis unit determines whether processing involving color change that changes the original color is specified in operator information on a target object for the discriminability reproducing color conversion processing. In a case where processing that changes the original color, such as ROP or ?-blending, is specified for the target object, the discriminability reproducing color conversion processing for the page is canceled and switched to all-color uniform color conversion processing. This enables both of efficient discriminability reproducing color conversion and prevention of improper drawing.
