A non-transitory storage medium stores a program set readable by a computer of a first information processing apparatus. The program set including a first program and a second program. The first program causes the first information processing apparatus to start the second program, and register the started second program, as a virtual scanner, in an operating system of the first information processing apparatus. The second program causes the first information processing apparatus to transmit a scan command of the first protocol to the external scanner, and receive a read result from the external scanner by the first protocol through the communication interface. The external scanner reads a document in response to receipt of the scan command transmitted from the information processing apparatus.

An image forming apparatus includes a first wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication based on a first wireless communication method, a second wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication based on a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method, and a prioritized control unit that performs a control based on information related to a communication destination of the first wireless communication unit and information related to a communication destination of the second wireless communication unit such that one wireless communication unit of the first wireless communication unit or the second wireless communication unit is operated in a prioritized manner over another wireless communication unit.

There is provided an image processing apparatus. A changing unit changes settings relative to image data generated by a reading unit for reading a document, in a case where it is not possible to store the image data in a predetermined memory. An image processing unit performs image processing on the image data generated according to the changed settings. A display displays a preview image of the image data subjected to the image processing in the case where it is possible to store the processed image data in the memory.

A communication device may send a first negotiation request including first version information to a first external device via a communication interface of the communication device, execute first communication with the first external device via the communication interface by using the predetermined communication protocol of a second version, send a second negotiation request including second version information to the first external device via the communication interface in a case where an error notification is received from the first external device in the first communication, and execute second communication with the first external device via the communication interface by using the predetermined communication protocol of the first version.

A control circuit of a reception terminal in a communication system is configured to cause a first communicator to transmit a polling request to a first transmission terminal at a start timing of a cycle included in two or more consecutive cycles. The control circuit is configured to cause the first communicator to stop transmission of the polling request in a cycle following a transmission cycle and is configured to wait for reception of the response data in a case in which reception of the response data is not completed in the transmission cycle. The transmission cycle is a cycle in which the polling request is transmitted. The control circuit is configured to cause the first communicator to transmit the polling request to the first transmission terminal at a start timing of a cycle following another cycle in which reception of the response data is completed.

An information processing apparatus includes plural communication units, a determination unit, and a controller. The plural communication units are configured to be capable of conducting a wireless communication. The determination unit is configured to determine a communication unit from among the plural communication units in accordance with whether a mobile communication terminal that is attempting to conduct a communication is approaching the information processing apparatus. The controller is configured to perform a control so as to start the communication using the communication unit determined by the determination unit.

In a case where a user instructs an image forming apparatus to perform processing of sending scanned image data to the user from a mobile terminal, the user needs to input a user's e-mail address on the mobile terminal, which includes an inconvenient operation. From the mobile terminal, the user instructs the image forming apparatus to send the data to the user's e-mail address which is preliminarily registered in the image forming apparatus.
