Abstract
A controller of an image reading device is configured to obtain template data from an information processing device through a communication interface. The template data includes format data, first replacement data, and second replacement data. The controller replaces the first replacement data with identification data of the image recording device, replaces the second replacement data with detailed information, and generates transmission data containing the format data, the identification data, and the detailed information. The controller transmits the generated transmission data to the information processing device through the communication interface.
