The communication device may execute the wireless communication of the object data with the mobile device via a second target network using the second type of interface after executing a specific process of causing both the communication device and the mobile device to belong to the second target network in a case where the communication device is determined as currently not belonging to the target network. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A communication device comprising: a first type of interface configured to execute a wireless communication with a mobile device; a second type of interface configured to execute a wireless communication with the mobile device; a processor; and a memory that stores computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the communication device to: execute a wireless communication of object data with the mobile device via a first target network using the second type of interface after executing a sending of a first wireless setting, for causing the mobile device to belong to the first target network, to the mobile device using the first type of interface in a first case where the communication device is in a first mode in which the wireless communication using the first target network is executable; and execute a wireless communication of object data with the mobile device via a second target network which is different from the first target network, using the second type of interface after executing a sending of a second wireless setting which is different from the first wireless setting, for causing the mobile device to belong to the second target network, to the mobile device using the first type of interface in a second case where the communication device is in a second mode in which the wireless communication using the first target network is not executable. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The communication device as in claim 1, wherein the first target network is a Wi-Fi Direct network. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The communication device as in claim 1, wherein the first wireless setting comprises Service Set Identifier. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The communication device as in claim 1, wherein the second wireless setting comprises Service Set Identifier. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The communication device as in claim 1, wherein the first mode is a mode in which a wireless communication according to a specific system is executable. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The communication device as in claim 5, wherein the specific system is Wi-Fi Direct system. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The communication device as in claim 1, wherein the first type of interface is an interface configured to execute a wireless communication according to a Near Field Communication system. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The communication device as in claim 1, further comprising: a printer configured to execute a print process using the object data. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The communication device as in claim 1, further comprising: a scanner configured to scan a document and create the object data. ### Claim 10 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions for a communication device comprising a first type of interface configured to execute a wireless communication with a mobile device and a second type of interface configured to execute a wireless communication with the mobile device, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by a processor mounted on the communication device, causing the communication device to: execute a wireless communication of object data with the mobile device via a first target network using the second type of interface after executing a sending of a first wireless setting, for causing the mobile device to belong to the first target network, to the mobile device using the first type of interface in a first case where the communication device is in a first mode in which the wireless communication using the first target network can be executed; and execute a wireless communication of object data with the mobile device via a second target network which is different from the first target network, using the second type of interface after executing a sending of a second wireless setting which is different from the first wireless setting, for causing the mobile device to belong to the second target network, to the mobile device using the first type of interface in a second case where the communication device is in a second mode in which the wireless communication using the first target network cannot be executed. ### Claim 11 A method of executing a wireless communication by a communication device comprising a first type of interface configured to execute the wireless communication with a mobile device and a second type of interface configured to execute the wireless communication with the mobile device, the method comprising: executing a wireless communication of object data with the mobile device via a first target network using the second type of interface after executing a sending of a first wireless setting, for causing the mobile device to belong to the first target network, to the mobile device using the first type of interface in a first case where the communication device is in a first mode in which the wireless communication using the first target network can be executed; and execute a wireless communication of object data with the mobile device via a second type of interface after executing a sending of a second wireless setting which is different from the first wireless setting, for causing the mobile device to belong to a second target network, to the mobile device using the first type of interface in a second case where the communication device is in a second mode in which the wireless communication using the first target network cannot be executed.
