Information processing apparatus, control method for the information processing apparatus, and storage medium

A printing apparatus capable of performing a direct wireless communication with a communication terminal via a wireless local area network (LAN) interface by operating as an access point based on an IEEE802.11 standard, without intermediation of a relay apparatus, the printing apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory that stores set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the instructions to;
• activate a function as the access point to be used in the direct wireless communication;
• control, in a case where the printing apparatus operates in a first mode for receiving setting information regarding a network from the communication terminal by using the direct wireless communication, communication of data with the communication terminal by using a first communication filter;
• and
• control, in a case where the printing apparatus operates in a second mode for receiving print data from the communication terminal by using the direct wireless communication, the communication of the data with the communication terminal by using a second communication filter.

A printing apparatus capable of performing a direct wireless communication with a communication terminal via a wireless local area network (LAN) interface by operating as an access point based on an IEEE802.11 standard, without intermediation of a relay apparatus, the printing apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory that stores set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the instructions to;
• activate a function as the access point to be used in the direct wireless communication;
• wherein a communication filter that is applied in a case where the printing apparatus operates in a first mode for receiving setting information regarding a network from the communication terminal by using the direct wireless communication is different from a communication filter that is applied in a case where the printing apparatus operates in a second mode for receiving print data from the communication terminal by using the direct wireless communication.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that when executed by a computer causes a printing apparatus capable of performing a direct wireless communication with a communication terminal via a wireless local area network (LAN) interface by operating as an access point based on an IEEE802.11 standard, without intermediation of a relay apparatus to execute a control method, the control method comprising:

• activating a function as the access point to be used in the direct wireless communication;
• controlling, in a case where the printing apparatus operates in a first mode for receiving setting information regarding a network from the communication terminal by using the direct wireless communication, communication of data with the communication terminal by using a first communication filter;
• and
• controlling, in a case where the printing apparatus operates in a second mode for receiving print data from the communication terminal by using the direct wireless communication, the communication of the data with the communication terminal by using a second communication filter.
