发明名称 Communication apparatus
摘要 Aspects of the disclosure provide a communication apparatus that can use preferable settings regardless of which of communication in a near-field wireless communication method and communication in a wireless communication method different from the near-field wireless communication method is used as a trigger to start a function. The communication apparatus may include a controller. The controller may, if communication carried out in a near-field wireless communication method, transmit at least one of first setting table and data created based on the first setting table to an external device, and, if communication is carried out in the wireless communication method, transmit at least one of second setting table and data created based on the second setting table to the external device.

主权项 1. A communication apparatus comprising: a first communication unit communicable with an external device using a near-field wireless communication method; a second communication unit communicable with an external device using a wireless communication method that differs from the near-field wireless communication method; a storage storing: a first setting table that includes a first setting used for a function to be started by the external device, the function including a print function, the function to be started in response to a first trigger comprising communication with the external device through the first communication unit using the near-field wireless communication method, anda second setting table that includes a second setting used for the function to be started by the external device, the function to be started in response to a second trigger comprising communication with the external device through the second communication unit using the wireless communication method; and a controller comprising at least one processor, the controller configured to: store, in the storage, as the first setting table, a first printing setting used for the external device, the external device performing printing processing in a first printing method;store a second printing setting used for the external device, the external device performing printing processing in a second printing method that differs from the first printing method; andif the first trigger comprising the communication with the external device through the first communication unit using the near-field wireless communication method is carried out: obtain, through one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit, information identifying the second printing method,determine, based on the information identifying the second printing method, whether a printing method executed by the external device is the first printing method or the second printing method,if the printing method executed by the external device is the first printing method, transmit, as first execution data, a combination of data to be printed and at least one of the first setting table and data created based on the first setting table, to the external device through one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit,if the printing method executed by the external device is the second printing method, transmit, as second execution data, a combination of the data to be printed and at least one of the second setting table and data created based on the second setting table, to the external device through one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit, andif the second trigger comprising the communication with the external device through the second communication unit using the wireless communication method is carried out, transmit, as second execution data, the combination of the data to be printed and the at least one of the second setting table and the data created based on the second setting table, to the external device through the second communication unit.
