A communication apparatus capable of communicating with an information processing apparatus and an access point includes an establishment unit configured to establish connection between the access point and the communication apparatus, and a control unit configured to execute, based on a fact that an authentication method used for connection between the communication apparatus and the access point is a predetermined authentication method, predetermined processing to inhibit at least part of communication between the communication apparatus and the information processing apparatus without interposing the access point.

Communication apparatus, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

It is made possible to print an image stored in an image processing apparatus by a printing apparatus without requiring a complicated operation. By a printing apparatus operating as a first access point by fixed authentication information, in the case where the communication is controlled in a first mode for performing a wireless LAN connection with an image processing apparatus storing the fixed authentication information, a beacon signal including a specific SSID included in the fixed authentication information is transmitted, and in the case where the image processing apparatus receives printing instructions, a connection without intervention of a second access point different from the printing apparatus and the image processing apparatus is established with the printing apparatus by using the fixed authentication information and an image to be printed is transmitted to the printing apparatus on a condition that a beacon signal including the specific SSID is detected.

Image printing system, method in image processing apparatus, and storage medium

This invention has as its object to provide an image processing apparatus and method which can reliably and appropriately insert a page break by a simple process. To accomplish this, it is checked if the number of lines transferred to a printer is smaller than a page break reference line count N. N is a value equal to or smaller than a value obtained by subtracting the number of vertical dots of a maximum font that a browse task can rasterize from a maximum recordable line count Max. When data for the page break reference line count N or more have been transferred to the printer, it is checked if data of the transferred line has the same color. If the data for one line have the same color, it can be determined that the line does not contain any character (the spacing between neighboring lines). Hence, if a page break is inserted at that line, characters can be prevented from being printed across two pages.

Apparatus and method for controlling page break position

Wireless mode between a scanner and an image communication apparatus is changed when the scanner completes read of an image, when the image is sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus by the operation of the scanner, or depending on presence or absence of read original, and for example, low power consumption mode and communication mode are switched to each other.

An image processing system includes an input unit, a selecting unit, a determining unit and a control unit. The input unit inputs one of a color image and a monochrome image, and the selecting unit selects either a normal recording mode for recording an image on a recording material at a predetermined recording density, and a decimation recording mode for recording the image on the recording material at a recording density lower than that of the normal recording mode. The determining unit determines if the input image is a color image or a monochrome image, and the control unit changes to the normal recording mode, when the decimation recording mode is selected and the input image is determined to be a color image.

Image processing apparatus and method selectively utilizing lower than normal image recording density

Even in an apparatus connected to another apparatus which periodically transmits a command, a mode transition such as transition to a power saving stand-by mode can be performed. A mode change for Bluetooth communications and a mode change in a stand-by state are performed in cooperation with each other to efficiently switch between stand-by modes.

Apparatus with communication function, method of controlling apparatus, and storage medium storing program for controlling apparatus

There is provided a communication apparatus, with which it is possible to prevent the conventional problem that in the case where an incoming call arrives, not a name registered by a user but a caller's name informed from a switching system is displayed and therefore user's confusion is caused. The communication apparatus is connected to a communication line that provides a service for informing of caller's information. A display device performs displaying related to an opposite party. Registered contents, in which a plurality of opposite parties's IDs and a plurality of opposite parties's names are associated with each other are searched for an opposite party's ID matching an opposite party's ID contained in the caller's information when the caller's information is detected at the time of arrival of an incoming call. An opposite party's name registered in association with the matching opposite party's ID in the registered contents is displayed on the display device when the matching opposite party's ID is found. A caller's name contained in the caller's information is on the display device when the matching opposite party's ID is not found.
