Image Recording Apparatus, Server, and Communication System

摘要

An image recording apparatus includes a controller configured to control an image recorder to execute a recording processing in a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the controller controls the image recorder to execute the recording processing when a specific-type cartridge has not been connected to a connecting portion and controls the image recorder not to execute the recording processing when the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion. In the second mode, the controller controls the image recorder to execute the recording processing in any of a case where the specific-type cartridge has not been connected to the connecting portion and a case where the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion. The controller stores first recording information relating to the recording processing executed when the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion.

主权项

1. An image recording apparatus, comprising:
an image recorder configured to cause a recording material to adhere to a recording sheet to record an image; a connecting portion to which at least one cartridge filled with the recording material is to be removably connected, the at least one cartridge each being provided with a storage medium storing identification information relating to each of the at least one cartridge; a reader configured to read the identification information stored in the storage medium provided on each of the at least one cartridge connected to the connecting portion; a storage; and a first controller configured to perform:
controlling the image recorder to execute a recording processing selectively in one of a first mode and a second mode different from the first mode;determining whether a specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion, based on the identification information relating to each of the at least one cartridge which is read by the reader;in the first mode, controlling the image recorder to execute the recording processing when the first controller determines that the specific-type cartridge has not been connected to the connecting portion and controlling the image recorder not to execute the recording processing when the first controller determines that the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion;in the second mode, controlling the image recorder to execute the recording processing in any of a case where the first controller determines that the specific-type cartridge has not been connected to the connecting portion and a case where the first controller determines that the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion; andstoring, into the storage, first recording information relating to the recording processing executed when the first controller determines that the specific-type cartridge has been connected to the connecting portion.
