An image reading system includes a server device and a first scanner communicably connected to the server device. The server device includes a distributed scanning storage unit that stores distributed scanning setting information defining a setting item of distributed scanning and including identification information. The first scanner includes a first receiver that receives, from a user, a command that includes the identification information and is a command to perform the distributed scanning, a first acquirer that acquires the distributed scanning setting information from the server device when the first receiver receives the command to perform the distributed scanning, a first reader that reads a first document sheet stack to generate first read data based on the distributed scanning setting information, and a first transmitter that transmits the first read data to the server device.

An information processing apparatus is provided, which performs: acquiring an inspection result obtained by inspecting quality of a print product; receiving quality request data including an evaluation criterion; specifying a quality level of the print product based on the evaluation criterion included in the quality request data and the inspection result; creating quality report data including the inspection result and the quality level; and transmitting the quality report data to a predetermined external apparatus.

A non-transitory storage medium stores a plurality of instructions readable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus comprises a display, an operation unit, and a communication interface. The information processing apparatus stores a first execution program and a second execution program. The information processing apparatus displays a setting screen including a first particular setting capable of being designated in scan processing executed by the first execution program and incapable of being designated in scan processing executed by the second execution program, and determines to adopt the first execution program as the execution program that executes the scan processing in a case where the first particular setting is designated on the setting screen by an operation to the operation unit.

A terminal management system includes a main management device, a sub-management device, a first type terminal device that is communicably connected to the sub-management device, a second type terminal device that is not communicably connected to the main management device and the sub-management device, and a storage device that is configured to communicate with the main management device, the sub-management device, and the second type terminal device. The main management device uploads, to the storage device, first processing instruction information and second processing instruction information. The sub-management device downloads the first processing instruction information and uploads first notification information after the first type terminal device executes a first target processing. The second type terminal device downloads the second processing instruction information from the storage device, and uploads second notification information after the second type terminal device executes a process.

An image reading apparatus includes a first communication device provided communicatively with a first information processing apparatus, a second communication device provided communicatively with a second information processing apparatus, and a processor to receive a setting for a transmission destination of an input image, prohibit transmission of the input image via the second communication device when the first information processing apparatus that can communicate via the first communication device is set as the transmission destination of the input image, determine whether the first communication device is in a state physically communicable with a network. The processor permits transmission of the input image via the second communication device when the first information processing apparatus is set as the transmission destination of the input image and it is determined that the first communication device is not in a state physically communicable with the network.

The server device includes a distributed scanning storage unit that stores distributed scanning setting information defining a setting item of distributed scanning and including identification information. The first scanner includes a first receiver that receives, from a user, a command that includes the identification information and is a command to perform the distributed scanning, a first acquirer that acquires the distributed scanning setting information from the server device when the first receiver receives the command to perform the distributed scanning, a first reader that reads a first document sheet stack to generate first read data based on the distributed scanning setting information, and a first transmitter that transmits the first read data to the server device.

An image processing apparatus obtains image data and transmits the image data to an external apparatus. The image processing apparatus applies first image processing to the image data and receives a result of second image processing applied in the external apparatus to a part of the image data corresponding to a partial area of an entire image represented by the image data, prior to receiving a result of the second image processing applied in the external apparatus to the entirety of the image data corresponding to the entire image. The image processing apparatus, when causing a display apparatus to display the image data that has been transmitted to the external apparatus, causes the display apparatus to display the image data along with an indicator indicating a status of the second image processing being applied to the image data in the external apparatus.

A computer of an information processing apparatus is caused to execute steps, the steps including a first specification step of specifying a first direction of a position of a communication apparatus with respect to a position of the information processing apparatus based on communication between the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus through a predetermined communication method; a reception step of receiving a predetermined operation for designating a direction from a user; a second specification step of specifying a second direction corresponding to the received predetermined operation; a third specification step of specifying the communication apparatus corresponding to the second direction from among a plurality of the communication apparatuses present in a vicinity of the information processing apparatus based on the first direction and the second direction; and an execution step of executing a process relating to the communication apparatus corresponding to the second direction.

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating using a first communication method and communicating using a second communication method performs, in a case where attempting processing fails to establish a connection with a communication apparatus using the first communication method without using an external apparatus, communication with the communication apparatus by the second communication method and transmits a job to the communication apparatus via the connection with the communication apparatus using the first communication method, the communication being used to establish the connection with the communication apparatus using the first communication method.
