Image processing apparatus, information processing apparatus, and image processing method for processing a print job transmitted from the information processing apparatus to the image forming apparatus via communication protocol

摘要

An image processing system may be configured to perform a connection information transmission process in which connection information used for establishment of communication using a communication protocol is transmitted. Portions of the system may further perform a process by which communication is changed from another communication protocol to the communication protocol in which the connection information is transmitted. Additionally, a job transmission process in which a job is transmitted from an information processing apparatus to an image processing apparatus via the communication protocol may be performed. Based on the job information, an execution process, in which image processing is executed, may be performed.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a first communication device configured to process communications according to a first communication protocol; a second communication device configured to process communications according to a second communication protocol; a processor; and memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the image processing apparatus to:
receive information from an information processing apparatus through the first communication device using the first communication protocol, the information relating to an image processing function and including a setting value for the image processing function;determine whether the setting value is compatible with the image processing apparatus; andin response to determining that the setting value is compatible with the image processing apparatus:
transmit, to the information processing apparatus, connection information required to establish communication with the image processing apparatus through the second communication device using the second communication protocol;establish a connection with the information processing apparatus through the second communication device using the second communication protocol;receive image processing data from the information processing apparatus through the second communication device using the second communication protocol; andexecute the image processing function based on the image processing data; andin response to determining that the setting value is incompatible with the image processing apparatus, determining that the image processing apparatus is unavailable to establish the connection with the information processing apparatus.
