A printer includes a controller, a memory, and a user interface. The printer has a first mode and a second mode. The controller disables the first mode when enabling the second mode and disables the second mode when enabling the first mode. The controller executes a first printing process while the first mode is enabled. In the first printing process, the controller receives a print job from a client device, stores the received print job in the memory, and performs printing based on the stored print job upon receiving a storage print command. The controller executes a second printing process and restricts the first printing process while the second mode is enabled. In the second printing process, the controller receives a print job from a server in response to receiving a prescribed input operation via the user interface, and performs printing based on the received print job from the server.

Printer provided with mode in which print based on print job transmitted from client device is restricted

A communication device may include: a memory configured to store management information in which, for each of a plurality of OIDs of a MIB, the OID and a setting value are associated with each other; and a controller, wherein the controller may be configured to: receive a setting command which conforms to TCP; write the setting value included in the setting command to the management information in association with the OID included in the setting command; and send a response command which conforms to the TCP. In a case where the setting command including a first OID and a first setting value is received, the controller may be configured to: write the first setting value to the management information in association with the first OID after the response command has been sent, and send the response command before the first setting value is written to the management information.

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and storage medium storing program

A printing system includes: a first printer; a second printer; a server device; and a client device. The first printer is configured to perform: receiving first authentication information; accessing, in response to determining that first authentication performed according to a first authentication method is successful, the server device using first account information; receiving, from the server device, a print job stored in association with user identification information included in the first authentication information; printing an image based on the print job. The second printer is configured to perform: receiving second authentication information including the user identification information; accessing, in response to determining that second authentication performed according to a second authentication method is successful, the server device using second account information; receiving, from the server device, the print job stored in association with the user identification information; and printing the image based on the print job.

Printing system including server device capable of communicating with printers and client device

A controller is configured to: acquire access information indicating a transmission source of instruction data, a process to be executed by a printer including download printing of downloading a document from a storage on a network and printing the document, a print mode in the download printing including first and second modes, based on the access information, access, via a communication interface, a server that is the transmission source of the instruction data, and receive the instruction data transmitted from the server; and in response to determining that the instruction data includes an execution instruction of the download printing, determine the print mode based on characteristics of the document; and based on the determined print mode, download the document via the communication interface, from a particular storage instructed by the instruction data, thereby receiving the document, and perform printing based on the received document, thereby performing the download printing.

Printer, print system, and storage medium storing program configured to perform download printing by different modes

A printing system includes a printer, a server device, and a client device. The client device receives identification information of a user, and transmits a print job for an image to be printed to the server device. The print job is associated with a computer name. The computer name specifis the client device and is assigned to the received identification information. The server device stores the print job in a specific folder having a name corresponding to the identification information to which the computer name is assigned and which is associated with the print job. The printer searches a folder provided in the server device to find the specific folder, receives selection of a print job from among one or more print jobs stored in the found folder, receives the selected print job from the server device, and prints an image based on the received print job.

Printing system including server and printer printing image based on print job stored in the server

Instruction data is configured to include mode information indicating a print mode in download printing. The print mode includes a first mode and a second mode different from the first mode. The download printing includes: in response to extracting the mode information indicating the first mode, performing the download printing by the first mode, the first mode being a mode of, after completing reception of an entirety of a document, starting printing based on the entirety of the document; and in response to extracting the mode information indicating the second mode, performing the download printing by the second mode, the second mode being a mode of, before completing reception of the entirety of the document, starting printing based on a received portion of the document. The second mode is a mode in which reception of the document and printing based on the document are performed in parallel.
