Abstract: In order to easily verify an operation of the machine tool, a machining support apparatus includes a machining monitoring unit 112, a simulation processing unit 113, and a display unit 150. The machining monitoring unit 112, upon receiving a notification indicating detection of a simulation start code programmed in a machining program from a machine tool controller controlling a machine tool via a communication device 130, renders the machine tool controller to stop the machine tool. The simulation processing unit 113 simulates instructions from the simulation start code to a simulation end code in the machining program, while the machine tool is stopped. And the display unit 150 displays a simulation performed in the simulation processing unit.

Abstract: A printer may receive a predetermined notification from a print mediation server. The predetermined notification may be a notification to be sent to the printer by the print mediation server when the print mediation server has stored specific print data and specific condition data indicating a specific print condition to a storage unit according to an instruction from a terminal device. The printer may acquire the specific print data and the specific condition data from the storage unit in a case where the predetermined notification is received. The printer may cause a print executing unit to execute printing of an image represented by the specific data according to the specific print condition indicated by the specific condition data.

Abstract: A communication device may store first specific data representing specific information described in a first language. The communication device may acquire second specific data from the data server. The second specific data may represent the specific information described in a second language different from the first language. The communication device may supply first image data obtained using the first specific data to a display unit in a case where the specific information described in the first language is requested, and supply second image data obtained using the acquired second specific data to the display unit in a case where the specific information described in the second language is requested.

Abstract: A communication apparatus may include a reception portion, a decision portion, and a transmission portion. The reception portion may receive a first data request transmitted through a first security level communication, and a second data request transmitted through a second security level communication, the second security level being more secure than the first security level. The decision portion may decide whether a specific data request is the first data request or the second data request. The transmission portion may transmit a specific data to an apparatus that is a transmission source of the specific data request if the specific data request is the second data request, and may transmit different data to the apparatus if the specific data request is the first data request. The different data contains display information for causing the apparatus to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication.

Abstract: A communication device that is to be connected to a providing server for providing time information via a network is provided. The communication device includes a congestion-degree obtainer to obtain a congestion degree indicating a condition of traffic in the network, a time information obtainer to obtain the time information provided by the providing server, and an obtainment restrictor to compare the obtained congestion degree with a predetermined reference degree of congestion, and restricts the time information obtainer from obtaining the time information if the comparison indicates that the traffic in the network is busier than the reference degree of congestion.

Abstract: In each of personal computers, information concerning an application software to process image data sent to a scanner is received. A dialog box is displayed and a user entry is made as to whether transmission is permitted or not. When transmission is rejected by the user, a notice of the rejection of transmission is given to the scanner. When transmission is permitted by the user, the application software is started and a notice of the permission of transmission is given to the scanner. Then, image data is received from the scanner and processed by the started application software.

Abstract: When a setting relating to the print quality of a printer 3 is changed (T601), sending of ssdp:byebye to PCs 2 (T603) and time measurement by a timer 37 (T605) are executed. Then, after the elapse of 30 seconds from the start of time measurement by the timer 37, ssdp:alive is sent to the PCs 2 (T615). Even if a paper size related setting change (T607) or multiple page printing (condensed printing) setting change (T609) is made during this 30-second interval, ssdp:alive is not sent to the PCs 2 for those changes executed during the 30-second interval.
