Image processing apparatus and method for configuring communication settings

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a first communication interface configured to perform communication in a first communication system;
• a second communication interface configured to perform communication in a second communication system different from the first communication system;
• and
• a controller configured to perform a setting process to establish a connection with an information processing device via the first communication interface;
• wherein the printing apparatus complies with a particular setting protocol including a procedure to receive setting information for the first communication system originally from an OS of the information processing device;
• the setting process comprising:
• transmitting a request for setting information for the first communication system, to the information processing device via the second communication interface after receiving first compliance information from the information processing device via the second communication interface, the first compliance information representing that the OS of the information processing device complies with the particular setting protocol;
• in response to transmitting the request for the setting information, receiving the setting information originally from the OS of the information processing device via the second communication interface in accordance with the particular setting protocol;
• and
• based on the setting information received originally from the OS of the information processing device, configuring the settings for the first communication system.

A method implementable on a controller of a printing apparatus comprising a first communication interface configured to perform communication in a first communication system, and a second communication interface configured to perform communication in a second communication system different from the first communication system, wherein the printing apparatus complies with a particular setting protocol including a procedure to receive setting information for the first communication system originally from an OS of an information processing device, the method comprising:

• receiving first compliance information from the information processing device via the second communication interface, the first compliance information representing that the OS of the information processing device complies with the particular setting protocol;
• transmitting second compliance information to the information processing device via the second communication interface, the second compliance information representing that the printing apparatus complies with the particular setting protocol;
• after sharing mutual compliance recognition with the information processing device through receiving the first compliance information and transmitting the second compliance information, receiving the setting information originally from the OS of the information processing device via the second communication interface in accordance with the particular setting protocol, the shared mutual compliance recognition causing both the printing apparatus and the information processing device to recognize that both the printing apparatus and the OS of the information processing device comply with the particular setting protocol;
• and
• based on the setting information originally received from the OS of the information processing device, configuring settings for the first communication system.
