Server, control program, and apparatus

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program readable by a computer of a server comprising a communicator communicable with an apparatus configured to perform a scanning operation and a printing operation using an ink-jet head,

• the program being configured to cause the server to perform:
• receiving, from the apparatus, nozzle-check-scan data that is scan data of a nozzle-check printing sheet printed by the ink-jet head in a nozzle-check printing operation instructed by a user of the apparatus;
• determining whether cleaning of the ink-jet head is required, based on the received nozzle-check-scan data;
• transmitting permission information to the apparatus when the server determines that the cleaning of the ink-jet head is required, the permission information indicating permission of the cleaning of the ink-jet head;
• and
• transmitting non-permission information to the apparatus when the server determines that the cleaning of the ink-jet head is not required, the non-permission information indicating non-permission of the cleaning of the ink-jet head.

A server, comprising:

• a communicator communicable with an apparatus configured to perform a scanning operation and a printing operation using an ink-jet head;
• and
• a controller configured to control the server to perform:
• receiving, from the apparatus, scan data representing a printing sheet printed by the ink-jet head;
• determining whether cleaning of the ink-jet head is required, based on the received scan data;
• transmitting permission information to the apparatus when the server determines that the cleaning of the ink-jet head is required, the permission information indicating permission of the cleaning of the ink-jet head;
• and
• transmitting non-permission information to the apparatus when the server determines that the cleaning of the ink-jet head is not required, the non-permission information indicating non-permission of the cleaning of the ink-jet head,
• wherein the controller is further configured to control the server to perform:
• receiving scan data representing the printing sheet on which first identification information for identifying the apparatus is printed, from the apparatus as the scan data;
• receiving second identification information for identifying the apparatus, from the apparatus not as the scan data;
• determining whether a first identified apparatus identified by the first identification information included in the scan data is identical to a second identified apparatus identified by the received second identification information;
• transmitting the permission information to the apparatus when the server determines that the cleaning is required, based on the scan data and when the server determines that the first identified apparatus is identical to the second identified apparatus;
• and
• transmitting the non-permission information to the apparatus when the server determines that the cleaning is required, based on the scan data and when the server determines that the first identified apparatus is not identical to the second identified apparatus.
