Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes a print engine, a sensor, a controller, and a memory. The print engine is configured to record an image on a recording medium. The sensor is configured to detect whether the image recording apparatus is moved. The memory is configured to store particular information. The memory stores instructions, the instructions, when executed by the controller, causing the controller to perform: a first deletion process of, in response to determining that a first condition is satisfied, deleting the particular information stored in the memory, the first condition being that movement of the image recording apparatus is detected by the sensor.
Claims20
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a print engine configured to record an image on a recording medium;
- a sensor configured to detect whether the image recording apparatus is moved;
- a controller;
- and
- a memory configured to store particular information, the memory storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by the controller, causing the controller to perform:
- a first deletion process of, in response to determining that a first condition is satisfied, deleting the particular information stored in the memory, the first condition being that movement of the image recording apparatus is detected by the sensor,
- wherein the particular information includes job data;
- wherein the memory stores secure job data including a password and data relating to a secure job;
- and
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- permit execution of the secure job in response to determining that the password included in the secure job data stored in the memory is inputted correctly;
- and
- perform the first deletion process in response to determining that the first condition and a second condition are satisfied, the second condition being that no correct password is inputted for executing the secure job after detecting the movement.

An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a print engine configured to record an image on a recording medium;
- a sensor configured to detect whether the image recording apparatus is moved;
- a controller;
- and
- a memory configured to store particular information, the memory storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by the controller, causing the controller to perform:
- a first deletion process of, in response to determining that a first condition is satisfied, deleting the particular information stored in the memory, the first condition being that movement of the image recording apparatus is detected by the sensor,
- wherein, in the first deletion process, the controller is configured to delete all of the particular information stored in the memory;
- wherein, in response to determining that the first condition is satisfied, depending on a result of an operation input by a user after detecting the movement, the controller is configured to selectively perform one of:
- the first deletion process;
- and
- a second deletion process of keeping, in the memory, partial information that is a part of the particular information and deleting the particular information other than the partial information;
- wherein the particular information includes job data;
- and
- wherein the controller is configured to perform the first deletion process in response to determining that a user having transmitted the job data before detecting the movement does not transmit new job data within a reference period after detecting the movement.
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a print engine configured to record an image on a recording medium;
- a communication interface configured to be connected to a communication network;
- a controller;
- and
- a memory configured to store particular information, the memory storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by the controller, causing the controller to perform:
- in response to detecting a change of a connection state of the communication interface to the communication network, storing, in the memory, information indicating that the connection state of the network changes and time data at which the connection state of the network changes;
- and
- in response to determining that a continuation period of change of the connection state of the communication network exceeds a particular determination period, deleting the particular information stored in the memory.
