The electronic camera has an imaging device that images a subject with subject reflectance R (%) with a dynamic range wider than that at displaying or printing to acquire image data and a recording device that converts the image data acquired by the imaging device with a predetermined function and records the converted image data and the information on the function as digital values (digit). Therefore, a printed image with an automatically or manually corrected density can be obtained at the displaying or the printing.

A printing apparatus of the present invention makes wireless LAN connection in at least either one of a first connection mode for making wireless LAN connection to an image processing apparatus in which inherent authentication information is stored and a second connection mode for making wireless LAN connection to the image processing apparatus via a second access point provided by an apparatus other than the printing device and the image processing apparatus. The printing apparatus controls, in a case of connection in the first connection mode, a first function provided by the printing apparatus to be enabled and a second function which is enabled in the second connection mode to be disabled.

A job management server, which is connected to a Web application server and a job processing apparatus via a network, comprises: a registration unit which registers, when a job received from the Web application server is added with information indicating that a request source of the job is the job processing apparatus, the job in a first job queue, and to register, when the job is not added with the information, the job in a second job queue having a lower priority than the first job queue; and a transmission unit which transmits the job registered in the first job queue in response to a request from the job processing apparatus while a user utilizes a Web application via the job processing apparatus.

A communication apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires capability information on other communication apparatuses in a network. The determination unit determines, based on the capability information acquired by the acquisition unit, whether there is a communication apparatus having a specific function, related to data communication, to be performed after processing to set communication parameters is performed. The control unit perform controls, in response to the determination unit determining that there is a communication apparatus having the specific function, to continue the processing to set the communication parameters, and performs control, in response to the determination unit determining that there is no communication apparatus having the specific function, to terminate the processing to set the communication parameters.

In a technique to implement document reading by making use of a mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus, control to cause an image of a document to be captured at accurate timing is important. The present invention is a mobile terminal capable of communicating with an image forming apparatus and the mobile terminal includes: an image capturing unit; an instruction unit configured to transmit discharge instructions to discharge a document to the image forming apparatus in which the document is set in a sheet feed unit; a state acquisition unit configured to acquire a state of the image forming apparatus by communicating with the image forming apparatus; and an image capturing instruction unit configured to detect timing at which the image forming apparatus discharges the document based on the state of the image forming apparatus acquired by the state acquisition unit and to give instructions to capture an image of the document to the image capturing unit at the timing.

A terminal device stores, without accepting user input of predetermined connection information, predetermined connection information without acquiring the predetermined connection information from a communication device, connects to the communication device using the stored predetermined connection information, and communicates with the communication device using the predetermined connection information.

Systems and methods create labels and include a mobile device including communication circuitry, an imaging device, an object recognition application, and a label creation application. A label printer includes printer memory and printer communication circuitry. The object recognition application is configured to analyze an image of a device taken by the imaging device and generate device data for the device in the image. The label creation application the uses the device data to automatically populate at least a portion of a label data entry screen. Once the label data entry screen is populated, the label creation application creates a print job and, via the mobile device communication circuitry, communicate the print job to the label printer to print at least one label sized specifically for the device.

It is made possible to print an image stored in an image processing apparatus by a printing apparatus without requiring a complicated operation. By a printing apparatus operating as a first access point by fixed authentication information, in the case where the communication is controlled in a first mode for performing a wireless LAN connection with an image processing apparatus storing the fixed authentication information, a beacon signal including a specific SSID included in the fixed authentication information is transmitted, and in the case where the image processing apparatus receives printing instructions, a connection without intervention of a second access point different from the printing apparatus and the image processing apparatus is established with the printing apparatus by using the fixed authentication information and an image to be printed is transmitted to the printing apparatus on a condition that a beacon signal including the specific SSID is detected.

An image forming apparatus including applications and system side software for providing system side services to the applications is provided, in which the image forming apparatus includes: an authentication module for displaying an authentication screen on an operation panel of the image forming apparatus, wherein the authentication module allows the image forming apparatus to display a screen for using the image forming apparatus instead of the authentication screen if authentication data input from the authentication screen satisfies an authentication condition, and wherein the authentication module is provided in the image forming apparatus separately from the system side software.

A communication apparatus, comprises a wireless communication unit configured to provide a wireless parameter to an image processing apparatus that processes data of the communication apparatus; and a control unit configured to, in a case where the wireless parameter can be shared with the image processing apparatus by the wireless communication unit, cause the image processing apparatus to execute processing of the data without receiving a selection of an image processing apparatus.
