A terminal device may display a setting screen for inputting setting information; after the setting information is inputted in the setting screen, supply a communication executing instruction to an OS program. The OS program may supply a signal sending instruction to a first wireless interface. The first wireless interface may start sending a polling signal, establish a first wireless connection with a function executing device, and communicate connection information with the function executing device by using the first wireless connection. The OS program may establish, by using the connection information, a second wireless connection for communicating with the function executing device via a second wireless interface. In a case where the second wireless connection is established, the terminal device may send a function executing request to the function executing device via the second wireless interface by using the second wireless connection.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a combination of specification information of a communication apparatus and predetermined information indicating a search method used for obtainment of the specification information is displayed by a display method in accordance with a selection by a user from among a plurality of display methods.
An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit and a processor. The storage unit stores job parameters shared by a group of image forming apparatuses. The processor determines a job parameter among one of the shared job parameters that cannot be executed by the image forming apparatus and adjusts a set value of the job parameter so that the job parameter can be executed by the image forming apparatus.
A function executing device is configured to send a wireless identifier to a communication device via a first type of wireless communication interface for setting up a wireless connection. The function executing device is configured to determine whether the function executing device is in an error state and, if not, to establish the wireless connection via a second type of wireless communication interface. The function executing device operates in a parent state in the wireless connection. Additionally, print data may be received from the communication device. However, if the function executing device is in an error state the wireless connection is not established via the second type of wireless communication interface.
