In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to an external device. The external device receives a selection of image data through plural thumbnails displayed on a display section, and wirelessly sends the selected image data to the image forming apparatus with the address. The image forming apparatus receives the selected image data sent with the address by the external device, and prints an image based on the selected image data. The image forming apparatus accepts a selection indicating whether a communication between the external device and the image forming apparatus is performed by a first communication system method or a second communication system method. The image forming apparatus performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the first communication system method when the first communication system method is selected, and performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the second communication system method when the second communication system method is selected.

An image processing apparatus includes a controller, a displayer, a communicator, and a near field communicator. The controller receives, from a terminal device, a display image associated with destination information stored by the terminal device, via the near field communicator, displays, on the displayer, a screen including the display image, receives, from the terminal device, the destination information, based on an operation input to the screen, and transmits an image for transmission via the communicator, based on the destination information received from the terminal device.

An image processing apparatus includes a communicator that performs wireless communication with a terminal device; and a controller. The controller performs pairing with the terminal device, establishes wireless communication with the paired terminal device via the communicator, acquires information on a transmission destination of an image from the terminal device, disconnects the wireless communication after acquiring the information on the transmission destination, and releases the pairing with the terminal device by disconnecting the wireless communication.

An image processing apparatus may include a processor including a processing unit, a creating unit, and an output unit. The processing unit stores image data created by executing a job in a storage unit. The creating unit creates an information code representing information indicating a storage area of the storage unit in which the image data is stored. The output unit displays the information code created by the creating unit on a display unit.

A management apparatus includes circuitry that stores, in a memory, facsimile data received by an electronic device in association with information on a group to which the received facsimile data belongs, and transmits a list of the received facsimile data based on a browse request of the received facsimile data. In the list, the received facsimile data is classified according to at least the information on the group to which the electronic device belongs.

An information processing system includes at least one information processing apparatus. The system includes a memory and circuitry. The memory stores, for each of a plurality of flows, each flow containing a series of processes executable to electronic data, flow information that defines program identification information identifying one or more programs executing the flow of series of processes and an execution order of the one or more programs, in association with flow identification information. The memory further stores event identification information in association with the flow identification information. Based on an occurrence of an event, the circuitry reads the flow identification information associated with the event identification information identifying the occurred event, and controls the at least one information processing apparatus to execute each of the one or more programs in the execution order, as defined in the flow information identified by the read flow identification information.

A mobile data processing method, in which a request for performing an imaging data request by an image processing apparatus is initiated from a user of a mobile device. The method includes receiving first information generated by an image processing apparatus and second information generated by the mobile device. The first information and the second information are received by an information processing apparatus via a public network. The first and second information are stored in association with each other. The method continues by determining if a print job was received with the first information and the second information. The method may conclude by transmitting the imaging data request to the image processing apparatus from the information processing apparatus via a private network in response to determining that the imaging data request was received with the first information and the second information.

A printing apparatus of the present invention has a printer unit, a display unit for displaying a screen, and a setting unit for setting either of a first setting for displaying the screen by standard color information and a second setting for displaying the screen by color information different to the standard color information. If the second setting is set, the color information of the screen displayed by the display unit is changed, and if a code image to be read by an external apparatus is included in the screen displayed by the display unit, the code image is made to not be displayed in a state in which color information of the code image is changed even if the second setting is set.

A networked printer system includes a first printer coupled to a network. The first printer includes a first printer address book having a plurality of address book contents that are located in a plurality of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Object Identifiers (OIDs). A second printer is coupled to the network. The second printer includes a processor, a communications device coupled to the processor, and a computer-readable medium coupled to the processor. An address book transferring engine is located on the computer-readable medium and includes computer-readable instruction that when executed connect to the first printer through the communications device over the network using SNMP, retrieve the plurality of address book contents from the plurality of SNMP OIDs, and transfer the plurality of address book contents to a second printer address book that is associated with the second printer.

A mobile terminal device can be used in a network system including a first network and a second network. Plural access points are connected to the first network. A common identification name is set to the plural access points. An access point having a coverage area overlapping with a part of a coverage area of the first network is connected to the second network. The mobile terminal device includes a detector, an execution unit, an acquiring unit, a connection controller, and a setting unit. The detector detects connectable access points. The execution unit executes an application which uses a network device connected to the first or second network. The acquiring unit acquires, from a history information memory, history information including (i) device identification information unique to the network device used when the application is executed in past, and (ii) device identification information unique to an access point.
