Image reading device and communication test method

A communication test method executed by an image reading device including a reading transmission function of transmitting read data, generated by reading an original document, to a storage destination for storing the read data, the storage destination being included in an external device, the method comprising:

• a manual test step for starting a communication test in response to an execution instruction of the communication test from a user, the communication test being performed to determine whether communication with the storage destination is successfully performed;
• an automatic test step for starting the communication test when a starting condition for starting the communication test is satisfied;
• and
• an aborting step for aborting the communication test being executed when any registered storage destination is selected during execution of the communication test.

An image reading device including a reading transmission function of transmitting read data, generated by reading an original document, to a storage destination for storing the read data, the storage destination being included in an external device, the image reading device comprising

• a controller configured to execute a communication test for determining whether communication with the storage destination is successfully performed, wherein
• the controller includes
• a manual test mode for starting the communication test in response to an execution instruction of the communication test from a user and
• an automatic test mode for starting the communication test when a starting condition for starting the communication test is satisfied,
• the starting condition includes a condition that the image reading device transitions to a sleep state, and
• the controller is configured to, when any registered storage destinations is selected during execution of the communication test, abort the communication test being executed.
