A communication apparatus searches for a device using a first wireless communication, instructs, using the first wireless communication, a device selected from a list based the result of the search to operate in an access point mode, obtains, using the first wireless communication, connection information from the device operating in the access point mode, establishes a second wireless connection with the device based on the obtained connection information.

An image forming apparatus reads a document mounted on a document positioning section by using an image reading section, and forms an image of the document on a sheet by using an image forming section. The sheet subjected to the image formation processing is mounted on a discharge tray via a discharge section. The image forming apparatus includes an operation unit that has a touch panel and that protrudes from a front portion of the image reading section, and a power button that is a hardware button provided on a back side of the operation unit and on a front portion of the image reading section.

A document platen on which a document is placed; and a reading sensor having a light source for irradiating the document with light, are provided, and the reading sensor performs first scanning for irradiating the document with light at a first light quantity, and then performs second scanning for irradiating the document with light at a second light quantity greater than the first light quantity.

The number of operational errors where a user unintentionally logs in as another user in quick login is reduced.

A processing device capable of user authentication includes a user registrator that receives registration of terminal identification information of a portable communication terminal as one piece of personal information associated with a user, a storage device that stores the personal information for each user, a user authenticator that displays a selection item related to a registered user on a user authentication screen, and performs authentication of the user in response to a selection, a terminal information acquirer that performs wireless communication with the portable communication terminal carried by a nearby user to acquire the terminal identification information of the portable communication terminal, and a nearby terminal determiner that determines whether the terminal identification information acquired matches the terminal identification information included in the personal information of the nearby user. In a case where the terminal identification information acquired matches the terminal identification information of the nearby user, the user authenticator displays a user selection item of the nearby user on the user authentication screen, in a manner such that the user selection item of the nearby user has a priority higher than the user selection item of another user.

A communication system may comprise an information processing device and a communication device. Communication between the communication device and the information processing device using the first wireless communication scheme may be performed. The communication device may send the connectable network identification information to the information processing device. Communication between the information processing device and the communication device using the second wireless communication scheme and using the second network may be executed, in case that the first network is not included in one or more networks identified by the connectable network identification information. Communication between the information processing device and the communication device using the second wireless communication scheme and using the first network may be executed, in case that the first network is included in the one or more networks identified by the one or more connectable network identification information.

An image processing apparatus receives destination information for use in data transmission, performs control, based on the received destination information including a destination in an email address format, so that a first screen, which is used to transmit data external to the image processing apparatus, and on which a transmission destination of the data is displayed, based on the received destination information, is displayed on the operation unit, and performs control, based on the received destination information including only a destination in a fax format so that a second screen, different from the first screen and used to perform fax transmission, on which a transmission destination of the fax transmission is displayed, based on the received destination information, is displayed on the operation unit.

An image forming apparatus that executes a password-protected job includes a function for omitting an input of a job password, manages a user password for keyboard authentication in association with a user, manages a personal identification number for icon authentication in association with the user, accepts login to an account of the user based on the keyboard authentication, permits execution of a password-protected print job associated with the user based on a print instruction without inputting a job password, accepts login to the account of the user based on the icon authentication, and permits execution of a password-protected print job associated with the user based on a print instruction with an input of a job password.

A state of a user operation performed on a mobile terminal is registered in a Web server that can be accessed from the mobile terminal and a multifunction peripheral (MFP) in association with information about the user, and the state of the user operation is handed over to the MFP based on the registered information by the user simply logging into the MFP.

An image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the image processing apparatus are provided. The image processing apparatus holds a type of image data and a setting item of image processing corresponding to the type in association with each other, and obtains, by applying a learned learning model to image data which are input, a result of classifying the image data into the type. The image processing apparatus presents, based on the setting item input by a user and the held setting item that corresponds to the type of the obtained image, a recommended setting item corresponding to the image data to the user.

An information processing apparatus includes: a determiner that determines an area including a handwritten figure from image data; a recognizer that recognizes a handwritten character from the handwritten figure; an acquirer that acquires a file name; and a file generator that generates a file with a file name based on a handwritten character when the recognizer recognizes the handwritten character based on the image data and generates a file with the file name acquired by the acquirer when the recognizer does not recognize a handwritten character.
