Abstract
An image forming system comprising an information terminal device and a printing device that is connected to the information terminal device through a network and a local connection and performs a printing process of image data sent from the information terminal device, in which the information terminal device includes a network identifier acquisition unit that obtains through the local connection a network identifier of the printing device on the network at the time of the local connection between the information terminal device and the printing device, and a data communication unit that performs data communications with the printing device through the network according to the network identifier obtained by the network identifier acquisition unit.
Claims14
An image forming system comprising an information terminal device and a printing device that is connected to the information terminal device through a network and a local connection and performs a printing process of image data sent from the information terminal device, wherein:
- the information terminal device comprises:
- a network identifier acquisition unit that obtains through the local connection a network identifier of the printing device on the network at the time of the local connection between the information terminal device and the printing device;
- and
- a data communication unit that performs data communications with the printing device through the network according to the network identifier obtained by the network identifier acquisition unit.
An image forming method using an information terminal device and a printing device, the printing device being connected to the information terminal device through a network and a local connection, for performing a printing process of image data sent from the information terminal device, comprising:
- obtaining in the information terminal device by a network identifier acquisition unit through the local connection a network identifier of the printing device on the network at the time of the local connection between the information terminal device and the printing device;
- and
- performing data communication with the printing device through the network according to the network identifier obtained by the network identifier acquisition unit.
An information terminal device that is connected to a printing device through a network and a local connection and sends image data to the printing device to give a printing instruction, comprising:
- a network identifier acquisition unit that obtains through the local connection a network identifier of the printing device on the network at the time of the local connection between the information terminal device and the printing device;
- and
- a data communication unit that performs data communications with the printing device through the network on the basis of the network identifier obtained by the network identifier acquisition unit.
