A function executing device is configured to send a wireless identifier to a communication device via a first type of wireless communication interface for setting up a wireless connection. The function executing device is configured to determine whether the function executing device is in an error state and, if not, to establish the wireless connection via a second type of wireless communication interface. The function executing device operates in a parent state in the wireless connection. Additionally, print data may be received from the communication device. However, if the function executing device is in an error state the wireless connection is not established via the second type of wireless communication interface.

Function executing device with two types of wireless communication interfaces

A communication device may execute a wireless communication of object data with a mobile device via a first target network using a second type of interface after executing a sending process of sending a wireless setting, for causing the mobile device to belong to the first target network, to the mobile device using a first type of interface in a case where the communication device is determined as currently belonging to the first target network. The communication device may execute the wireless communication of the object data with the mobile device via a second target network using the second type of interface after executing a specific process of causing both the communication device and the mobile device to belong to the second target network in a case where the communication device is determined as currently not belonging to the target network.

Communication device

A communication device may include a first type of interface and a second type of interface. The communication device may execute the communication of object data with a mobile device using the second type of interface after executing a specific process for causing the communication device to shift to a communication-enabled state, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is not currently in the communication-enabled state. Also, the communication device may execute the communication of the object data with the mobile device using the second type of interface without executing the specific process, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is currently in the communication-enabled state.

A communication device may comprise: a controller; wherein the controller may be configured to: receive a first request from a first terminal device via a first-type communication path; in a case where the first request is received from the first terminal device, execute user authentication using a first authentication method; receive a second request from a second terminal device via a second-type communication path different from the first-type communication path; in a case where the second request is received from the second terminal device, execute the user authentication using a second authentication method different from the first authentication method; and in a case where the user authentication is successful, execute a predetermined process.

Communication device and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for communication device

A control device may include a controller which: obtain second policy information from a memory which stores first policy information and the second policy information, wherein the first policy information corresponds to a specific setting item, and the second policy information corresponds to the specific setting item and is newer than the first policy information; determine whether an image processing device has used a specific set value which is set for the specific setting item; and in a case where it is determined that the image processing device has not used the specific set value, change the specific set value from a current set value to a new set value which conforms to the second policy information, wherein in a case where it is determined that the image processing device has used the specific set value, the specific set value is maintained at the current set value.

Control device, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for control device, and control method for control device

A function executing device may comprise a first wireless interface according to a Bluetooth Low Energy scheme being capable of repeatedly sending an advertising signal. The function executing device may after a first advertising signal in which a first radio field intensity is used has been sent from the first wireless interface, receive a specific signal via the first wireless interface from a terminal device, change a radio field intensity used for sending the advertising signal from the first radio field intensity to a second radio field intensity lower than the first radio field intensity, and after a second advertising signal in which the second radio field intensity is used has been sent from the first wireless interface, establish a first wireless connection with the terminal device via the first wireless interface.

Function executing device and terminal device for executing wireless communication according to Bluetooth low energy

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.

Communication device, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for communication device, and method performed by communication device

A communication device may cause a first wireless interface of the communication device to send a first signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a respondent state. The respondent state may be a state in which a Wi-Fi connection is able to be established between the communication device and a terminal device. The first signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before a Bluetooth connection is established between the communication device and a terminal device. The communication device may cause the first wireless interface to send a second signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a non-respondent state. The non-respondent state may be a state in which the Wi-Fi connection is not able to be established. The second signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before the Bluetooth connection is established.

Communication device and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for terminal device

A communication device may execute a specific wireless communication of object data via a first wireless network with a mobile device using a second type of interface after executing a specific process of sending a first wireless setting for causing the mobile device to belong to the first wireless network using a first type of interface in a first case where the communication device operates in a first state which is a parent station state or a child station state in the first wireless network and execute the specific wireless communication of the object data with the mobile device using the second type of interface after executing another process different from the specific process in a second case where the communication device operates in a second state which is different from the first state.

A communication device, in a case where a changing request is inputted by a specific user under a situation where a memory stores a first password used by a plurality of users, send first information to each of a plurality of destinations, the changing request being for changing the first password to another password; and in a case where the first information is used in a first destination among the plurality of destinations and an instruction for changing the first password to the another password according to the changing request is provided by a first user after the first information has been sent to each of the plurality of destinations, store a second password in the memory instead of the first password.
