Communication apparatus and method of controlling the same

A method for controlling a communication apparatus operable to provide a communication parameter to an external apparatus, the method comprising:

• generating a first image that is used in a first setting scheme for providing a communication parameter and in which information including a communication parameter is encoded;
• generating a second image that is used in a second setting scheme for providing a communication parameter and in which information that does not include the communication parameter and that does include authentication information for performing an authentication is encoded;
• accepting information used to determine which of the first setting scheme and the second setting scheme to use;
• and
• based on the accepted information, displaying either the first image or the second image.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to function as a communication apparatus operable to provide a communication parameter to an external apparatus, comprising:

• a first generation unit configured to generate a first image that is used in a first setting scheme for providing a communication parameter and in which information including a communication parameter is encoded;
• a second generation unit configured to generate a second image that is used in a second setting scheme for providing a communication parameter and in which information that does not include the communication parameter and that does include authentication information for performing an authentication is encoded;
• an acceptance unit configured to accept information used to determine which of the first setting scheme and the second setting scheme to use;
• and
• a display unit configured to, based on the information accepted by the acceptance unit, display either the first image or the second image.
