Communicating apparatus, communication method, and storage medium storing program

摘要

A communicating apparatus receives a request command which requires a response, and determines whether the communication mode of a partner apparatus corresponding to the request command matches a communication mode executed by the self communicating apparatus. If it is determined that the communication mode of the partner apparatus matches the communication mode executed by the self communicating apparatus, the communicating apparatus transmits a response command to the request command. If it is determined that the communication mode of the partner apparatus does not match the communication mode executed by the self communicating apparatus, the communicating apparatus transmits no response command to the request command.

主权项

1. A communicating apparatus having an image forming unit comprising;
a reception unit configured to receive a request command which requires a response, wherein a partner apparatus transmits the request command; a determination unit configured to determine based on the request command received by said reception unit whether a communication mode of the partner apparatus matches a communication mode executed by said communicating apparatus; and a response control unit configured to generate, in a case where the determination unit determines that the communication mode of the partner apparatus matches the communication mode of the communicating apparatus, a response command corresponding to the request command from the partner apparatus, wherein the response control unit, in a case where the determination unit determines that the communication mode of the partner apparatus does not match the communication mode of the communicating apparatus, does not generate the response command corresponding to the request command from the partner apparatus, and one or more of the reception unit, the determination unit, or the response control unit is implemented by a processor and a memory.
