Operation terminal, method and system for obtaining information from an output device by a first communication method and sending an output request for outputting a file by a second communication method

A method comprising:

• displaying a file list on a monitor of an operation terminal;
• receiving a selection of a file, at the operation terminal, from the file list;
• displaying, on the monitor, a screen (i) including a preview image of the file selected from the file list, and (ii) indicating a first communication method;
• the first communication method for obtaining information for connecting the operation terminal to an output device via a second communication method different than the first communication method;
• obtaining the information from the output device by the first communication method;
• and
• sending, from the operation terminal to the output device, by the second communication method, an output request for outputting the file selected from the file list, without reception of a user operation on the monitor.

A system comprising:

• an operation terminal;
• and
• an output device;
• wherein the operation terminal includes:
• a first processor;
• a monitor;
• and
• a first memory storing first instructions, which when executed, cause the first processor to:
• display a file list on the monitor;
• receive a selection of a file, at the operation terminal, from the file list;
• display, on the monitor, a screen (i) including a preview image of the file selected from the file list, and (ii) indicating a first communication method;
• the first communication method for obtaining information for connecting the operation terminal to the output device via a second communication method different than the first communication method;
• obtain the information from the output device by the first communication method;
• and
• send, to the output device, by the second communication method, an output request for outputting the file selected from the file list, without reception of a user operation on the monitor;
• and
• wherein the output device includes:
• a second processor;
• and
• a second memory storing second instructions, which when executed, cause the second processor to:
• receive, from the operation terminal, the output request;
• and
• output based on the output request.
