A non-transitory computer-readable medium has instructions to control an information processing device to perform monitoring, the instructions causing the information processing device to perform operations including: performing a notification acquisition processing; performing a switching processing of setting a mode flag with one of a first value indicating the first mode and a second value indicating the second mode; performing, in a case where the first value is set to the mode flag, a first monitor processing including: a first reception processing of receiving first status information; and a first display processing of displaying the status indicated by the first status information; and performing, in a case where the second value is set to the mode flag, a second monitor processing including: a second reception processing of receiving second status information; and a second display processing of displaying the status indicated by the second status information.

An image processing apparatus which is capable of reducing situations in which a job cannot be executed because resources are being in use for another job. The image processing apparatus has a soft codec unit that carries out an encoding process on image data, and a hard codec unit that carries out an encoding process on the image data at high speed compared with the soft codec unit. When a second job received while the hard codec unit is in use for a first job for which use of the soft codec unit is allowed requires use of the hard codec unit, control is provided to switch a codec unit for use in the first job from the hard codec unit to the soft codec unit.

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.

A method is disclosed of encapsulating a device control protocol request for a device specific control function, the method including sending an initial request in an operation-id and a data field of an IPP request to a host device from a client device, the client device configured to support IPP client functionality; sending an initial response from the host device to the client device in a data field of the IPP response; sending a DCPI request for a requested action to the host device, wherein the DCPI request for the requested action is defined by device control protocol operation code and Type-Length-Value (TLV) fields contained in the data field of the IPP request; and sending a response to the client device, wherein the device control protocol response is contained in the data field of the IPP response and includes the status of the requested action and optional data.

A communication apparatus may determine whether specific apparatus identification information for identifying a specific external apparatus is stored in a memory in a case where the specific apparatus identification information is received via a second interface from the specific external apparatus, shift an operating state of the communication apparatus from a non-parent station state to a parent station state in a case where it is determined that the specific apparatus identification information is stored in the memory, receive a wireless connection request from the specific external apparatus via a first interface after the operating state has been shifted from the non-parent station state to the parent station state, and form the wireless network in which the communication apparatus operates as the parent station and the specific external apparatus operates as a child station, in a case where the wireless connection request is received from the specific external apparatus.

Provided is an image forming apparatus that allows a remote operation terminal to operate an image processing apparatus connected by SIP. On this account, the image forming apparatus (100) connected to the remote operation terminal (300) by SIP includes a remote operation-request message receiving part that receive a remote-operation request message from the remote operation terminal (300), a remote-operation response message transmitting part that transmits a remote-operation response message in response to the remote-operation request message, and an operation-screen information transmitting part that transmits operation screen information of the image forming apparatus (100) to the remote operation terminal (300) in accordance with the communication condition of the communication session when an SIP-based communication session is established between the remote operation terminal (300) and the image forming apparatus (100).

A communication apparatus may determine whether specific apparatus identification information for identifying a specific external apparatus is stored in a memory in a case where the specific apparatus identification information is received via a second interface from the specific external apparatus, shift an operating state of the communication apparatus from a non-parent station state to a parent station state in a case where it is determined that the specific apparatus identification information is stored in the memory, receive a wireless connection request from the specific external apparatus via a first interface after the operating state has been shifted from the non-parent station state to the parent station state, and form the wireless network in which the communication apparatus operates as the parent station and the specific external apparatus operates as a child station, in a case where the wireless connection request is received from the specific external apparatus.

To provide a non-transitory storage medium and a client device, both having a printer driver (PD), that are capable of suppressing the performance degradation of the printer driver resulting from a time required for exchanging a setting information of the function of the printer driver between the print server (PS) and the client device (CD). In an embodiment, the non-transitory storage medium, that includes the PD for an MFP that is to be executed by the CD causing the MFP to print via the PS controlling the MFP, restricts the available functions among the functions of the PD to reduce the size of the Devmode to be transmitted to the PS, when the communication speed between the PS and the CD is smaller than or equal to a specified speed.
