Abstract
A communication device includes a control unit that establishes a wireless communication between a communication unit and an external device by using setting data received from the external device. The device also includes a data processing unit that stores the setting data in a storage unit before the wireless communication is released. Further, the device includes a power input unit that receives power from outside. A communication releasing unit releases the wireless communication between the communication unit and the external device. The control unit uses the setting data stored in the storage unit at a time of re-performing a wireless communication between the communication unit and the external device. The communication releasing unit does not release the wireless communication when the power is being supplied via the power input unit even when a predetermined time has passed.
