US 10,455,630 B2 · Communication apparatus that communicates with another communication apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium

Abstract

An image forming apparatus 100 that can prevent an unnecessary deterioration of data transmission performance. The image forming apparatus 100 has a MTU value input screen 600 including options representing different MTU values each of which can be selected. When it is determined that a present communication mode is a second communication mode realized without directly connecting the image forming apparatus 100 and the external apparatus, the selected MTU value is set as an acceptable amount of the data to be transmitted in a communication between the image forming apparatus 100 and the external apparatus. When it is determined that the present communication mode is a first communication mode realized by directly connecting the image forming apparatus 100 and the external apparatus, a maximum transmittable amount of the data in the first communication mode is set as the acceptable amount of the data to be transmitted.

Dependent claims

A communication apparatus comprising:

a display device configured to display information;
a wireless LAN interface capable of being used in a wireless LAN communication;
and
at least one controller configured to function as:
a unit configured to cause the display device to display a first screen thereon through which one communication mode can be selected from among a plurality of communication modes including a first communication mode and a second communication mode, the first communication mode being a communication mode in which the communication apparatus directly communicates with an external apparatus using the wireless LAN interface via no another apparatus, the second communication mode being a communication mode in which the communication apparatus communicates with the external apparatus using the wireless LAN interface via at least another apparatus providing an access point;
a unit configured to cause the display device to display a second screen thereon through which setting of a maximum data size indicating a unit which can be transmitted at once via the wireless LAN interface can be accepted;
and
a unit configured to cause the communication apparatus to communicate with external apparatus in accordance with the maximum data size set through the second screen in a case where the second communication mode is selected and cause the communication apparatus to communicate with external apparatus in accordance with a maximum data size other than the maximum data size set through the second screen in a case where the first communication mode is selected.
