A distance information acquisition section acquires distance information representing the distance between a terminal apparatus and an electronic instrument through short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. A direction information acquisition section acquires first direction information representing the direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus through the short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. A correction section carries out the process of correcting the first direction information based on the distance information in such a way that the first direction information indicates the direction toward a target position on the electronic instrument. A display control section causes a display section to display the direction toward the target position based on the corrected first direction information.

A distance information acquisition unit acquires distance information representing a distance between a terminal device and an image processing device, based on a radio wave arriving from the terminal device. A direction information acquisition unit acquires direction information representing a direction of the terminal device in relation to the image processing device, based on the radio wave arriving from the terminal device. A controller performs processing to perform image processing, based on the distance information and the direction information. The controller performs processing to perform image processing, when a position of the terminal device is within a predetermined range in relation to the image processing device and a rate of change in at least one of the distance from the terminal device and the direction of the terminal device is equal to or lower than a threshold.

An image processing device is communicatively connected to a terminal device. An operation panel accepts an operation from a user. A communication unit has a plurality of antennas and is used to communicate with the terminal device. A controller performs control according to direction information representing a direction of the terminal device in relation to the image processing device, acquired based on a radio wave transmitted between the terminal device and the communication unit. The communication unit is provided within a range corresponding to the operation panel, in a left-right direction as viewed from a front face side where the operation panel can be operated, of side faces of the image processing device.

A distance information acquisition section acquires distance information representing the distance between a terminal apparatus and an electronic instrument through short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. A direction information acquisition section acquires first direction information representing the direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus through the short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. When the distance to the electronic instrument based on the distance information is greater than or equal to a threshold, the display controller causes a display to display a first screen containing a direction display that displays the direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus based on the acquired first direction information. On the other hand, when the distance to the electronic instrument is not greater than or equal to the threshold, the display controller causes the display to display a second screen different from the first screen.

An image processing device includes a display, an input section, a print section that executes printing by using a consumption material, and a controller, in which the controller calculates an index value of an index relating to the consumption material consumed by the print section to display the index and the index value by the display, displays a setting item relating to the index by the display, when input indicating that the index is selected is detected by the input section, and controls the print section to execute printing based on setting of the setting item, when input indicating that the setting item is set is detected by the input section.
