Management device, communication system, and recording medium

A communication system comprising:

• an image processing apparatus that executes a job;
• and
• a management device,
• wherein:
• the management device includes a hardware processor and a communication interface,
• the communication interface transmits and receives a job to be executed in the image processing apparatus,
• the hardware processor:
• before transmission and reception of a job, transmits data on a communication path of the job for measuring a communication speed to obtain information representing a communication speed of a communication path for the job transmitted and received by the communication interface;
• and
• sets a timeout time of the image processing apparatus that executes the job, based on the obtained information representing a communication speed,
• the communication interface relays transmission and reception of a job between (i) an outside of a LAN (Local Area Network) to which the image processing apparatus belongs and (ii) the image processing apparatus, and
• the hardware processor obtains information representing a communication speed outside the LAN as information representing a communication speed of a communication path of the job.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein a program executed by a computer configured to set a timeout time in an image processing apparatus which transmits and receives a job, the program causing the computer to:

• before transmission and reception of a job, transmit data on a communication path of the job for measuring a communication speed to obtain information representing a communication speed of a communication path for the job transmitted and received;
• and
• set a timeout time of the image processing apparatus that executes the job, based on the obtained information representing a communication speed,
• wherein program further causes the computer to:
• relay transmission and reception of a job between (i) an outside of a LAN (Local Area Network) to which the image processing apparatus belongs and (ii) the image processing apparatus, and
• obtain information representing a communication speed outside the LAN as information representing a communication speed of a communication path of the job.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• before transmission and reception of a job, transmitting data on a communication path of the job for measuring a communication speed to obtain information representing a communication speed of a communication path for the job transmitted and received;
• and
• setting a timeout time of an image processing apparatus that executes the job, based on the obtained information representing a communication speed,
• wherein the method further comprises relaying transmission and reception of a job between (i) an outside of a LAN (Local Area Network) to which the image processing apparatus belongs and (ii) the image processing apparatus, and
• obtaining information representing a communication speed outside the LAN as information representing a communication speed of a communication path of the job.
