  • Patent number: 9888500
    Abstract: A wireless communication device may form a wireless network in which the wireless communication device operates as a master station, terminate a wireless connection with a target apparatus in a case where a wireless connection request is received from a specific external apparatus under a state of a number of slave apparatuses being equal to an upper limit number K, establish a wireless connection with the specific external apparatus, and perform a wireless communication of first target data with the specific external apparatus by using the wireless network. The wireless communication device may terminate the wireless connection with the specific external apparatus, and establish a wireless connection with the target apparatus via the first wireless communication interface, so as to cause the target apparatus to participate as the slave station in the wireless network again.

  • Patent number: 9710662
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus may include a communication device, an image processing device, a reception device, at least one processor, and a memory. The communication device may be configured to communicate with a server. The reception device may be configured to receive first authentication data and a request for using the server. The memory may store computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the image processing apparatus to: allow a user to login when the first authentication data satisfies a prescribed authentication condition; automatically request, to the server, permission to use the server regardless of whether the reception device receives the request, once the user has logged in; and execute an image process using both the image processing device and the server.

  • Patent number: 9672455
    Abstract: When acquired information contains setting information indicating to output first format file, a first output process is executed, wherein a reading process is performed and an inquiry is executed as to whether to continue reading. Every time when receiving an instruction to continue reading, a reading process is performed and the inquiry is executed. A first format file, in which is stored image data that has been generated until when an instruction not to continue reading is received, is outputted. When the acquired information contains setting information to output second format file, a second output process is executed, wherein a reading process is performed, and one or more second format files, whose number is equal to a number of sets of image data generated through the reading process, is outputted such that each set of image data is stored in a corresponding second format file.

  • Publication number: 20130088750
    Abstract: A printing apparatus including: a connecting unit connected to a management server; a receiving unit configured to receive a print instruction from the management server; a determining unit configured to determine whether there is another printing apparatus having a same name as a name of the printing apparatus among a printing apparatus connected to the management server in response to receiving the print instruction; an acquiring unit configured to acquire a print job; a printing unit configured to perform printing relative to the print job; an instructing unit configured to instruct start of the printing relative to the print job; and a print prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the printing relative to the print job from being performed until the instructing unit instructs the start of the printing if the determining unit determines that there is the other printing apparatus.
