A communication apparatus searches for a device by reading a two-dimensional code displayed by the device and notifies a user to use a direct wireless communication function of the device in a case where the device cannot be detected.

An image processing apparatus comprising: one or more controllers that control transmission of electronic mail; a storage that stores user information of one or more users; and an authenticator that authenticates login of a user among the one or more users, wherein when priority setting of a transmission source address is enabled, the one or more controllers set the transmission source address, based on the user information of the user having logged in, and when the priority setting of the transmission source address is disabled, the one or more controllers set the transmission source address, based on transmitter information set for the apparatus.

An electronic device includes: a reception section to receive attribute information of input items inherent to an installed program as the input items for authentication; a storing section to store the attribute information; a display controlling section to display an input screen on a display section for entering the input items inherent to the program in addition to common input items for multiple programs based on the attribute information stored in the storing section, in response to an execution command from the program; and an indicating section to indicate input values for the input items inherent to the program to the program with respect to the inherent input items.

A cloud server is provided. The cloud server includes a transceiver configured to receive, from an electronic device, a fax transmission request and at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to determine a communication network among a plurality of communication networks for communication with an opponent image forming apparatus corresponding to the fax transmission request, when the opponent image forming apparatus is a pre-registered apparatus and transmit fax data corresponding to the fax transmission request to the opponent image forming apparatus using the determined communication network, when the opponent image forming apparatus is a pre-registered apparatus.

An information processing system including an information processing apparatus that selects between transferring data and obtaining data, and controls transferring data or obtaining data based on the selection. The system also includes a server that stores data transferred from the information processing apparatus, and controls transferring data to the information processing apparatus based on a request for transferring data received from the information processing apparatus.

A system and method for registering network devices in accordance with customer identification includes a network interface that receives device identification data corresponding to a newly installed multifunction peripheral. The network interface also receives incoming location data corresponding to a physical location of the multifunction peripheral. A memory stores customer list data corresponding to identification of existing customers associatively with stored location data corresponding to existing customer locations. A processor compares incoming location data against the customer list data and associates a customer name with received identification data in accordance with a comparison of the incoming location data and the customer list data.

An MFP receives destination information indicating a folder in a file server from a user and can register the destination information in an address book, and the MFP determines whether a connection with a file server using the destination information can be established after destination information is received but before the destination information is registered in the address book, and notifies a user of a determination result.

A communication apparatus has an auto-complete function using an LDAP protocol. The apparatus inputs character information, and verifies a certificate of an LDAP server. The apparatus obtains, by the LDAP protocol, address information including the character information input by the input unit after verifying the certificate of the LDAP server.

An image communication apparatus includes a transmission information receiver, a document controller, and a document transmitter. The transmission information receiver receives transmission information from a mobile terminal. The transmission information includes registration information of the mobile terminal and an instruction to transmit a document image. The document controller determines one of a document and the document image both corresponding to the registration information, when the transmission information receiver receives the transmission information. The document transmitter transmits one of the document image and a read image of the document, on the basis of the determination made by the document controller.

An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a communication terminal. The image forming apparatus communicates with the communication terminal and includes an operation panel that displays a first display screen and accepts an operation of inputting information, and a hardware processor. The communication terminal communicates with the image forming apparatus, displays a second display screen, and accepts input of information and includes a central processing unit (CPU) that notifies the input of the information to the image forming apparatus. The communication terminal transmits the information input in the input device to the image forming apparatus, and the hardware processor determines whether the status of the operation panel is a status that accepts the operation, and upon the status of the operation panel being the status that accepts the operation, switches the first display screen to a screen that accepts the operation.
