A communication device includes a first holding unit which holds a disk-like first recording medium capable of storing information and a second holding unit which holds a second recording medium which is different from the first recording medium. The communication device further includes a request reception unit configured to receive a request for information indicating a recording medium which is usable by the communication device from a terminal device, and a transmission unit configured to transmit information indicating the first recording medium and information indicating the second recording medium held by the second holding unit to the terminal device when the request is received.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions that are executable by a computer in an information processing apparatus having a communication interface, through which the information processing apparatus is connected with a printer, is provided. The information processing apparatus has a first channel and a second channel configured to cause the printer to print an image based on image data. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to conduct a first printing control to cause the printer to print the image through the first channel, determine whether image printing to print the image by the printer under the first printing control failed, based on a determination that the image printing under the first printing control failed, conduct a second printing control to cause the printer to retry the image printing based on the image data through the second channel.

A transmission apparatus includes a scanner. A first control is performed about reading of a plurality of pages of documents by using the scanner to generate image data. A second control is performed about conversion processing of the generated image data. A third control is performed about transmission of processed data on which the conversion processing is performed. The third control includes starting a session while a document is being read based on the first control, and transmitting, to an external apparatus via a network, the processed data on which conversion is already performed. Where an error occurs in the scanner in reading the documents, the third control further includes disconnecting the started session. Where the error is resolved, the third control further includes connecting the session again and transmitting, to the external apparatus via the network, processed data on which the conversion processing is performed.

A configurable document server is described. In some embodiments, the configurable document server can enable administrators to set an option that prevents documents from being routed to users when the configurable document server experiences some types of errors. When the configurable document server determines that such an error condition exists, it may prevent the routing of the corresponding document. By preventing documents causing errors from being routed, the configurable document server enables administrators to improve the accuracy of document workflow and thereby improve productivity of users.

Embodiments of a fax system with adaptive protocol selection, and methods for such a system, are disclosed herein. Embodiments of a fax system may be adapted to selectively configure the protocol (both the type of protocol or aspects of a particular protocol) used in association with the transmission or reception of a specific fax. The configuration of the protocol utilized can be based on one or more attributes associated with a sender or a destination. The fax can then be transmitted or received according to those configuration parameters.

A printer includes a printer-side memory that stores first connection setting information for establishing a communication connection with one or a plurality of terminal devices, and in accordance with second connection setting information for establishing a communication connection with an access point received from the terminal device with which a communication connection has been established, a printer-side processor that establishes a communication connection with the access point, wherein when the printer-side processor determines the terminal device having a communication connection to be the terminal device connected by mistake, disconnects the communication connection with the terminal device, and changes the first connection setting information stored in the printer-side memory.

An information processing apparatus includes: a communicator to communicate with a terminal device; and a controller to control the communicator, wherein the controller transmits an acquisition request for address book information to the terminal device via the communicator, and the controller performs control to retransmit the acquisition request when the address book information cannot be obtained in response to the acquisition request and a given time period does not elapse since transmission of the acquisition request is initiated.
