Image processing system, image processing device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium therefor

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for a computer which is configured to be connected to an image processing device through a network, the image processing device having an image processing engine to perform image processing and a capability information repository storing capability information concerning capabilities of the image processing device, the recording medium storing computer-executable instructions that cause, when executed, the computer to perform:

• retrieving the capability information stored in the capability information repository of the image processing device;
• determining whether the capability information includes second communication implementation information indicating that the image processing device is capable of performing a second communication which is different from a first communication;
• when the capability information includes the second communication implementation information, designating a port to perform the second communication and causing the image processing device to perform data communication for the image processing in accordance with the second communication, and
• when the capability information does not include the second communication implementation information, not designating a port to perform the second communication.

An image processing device, comprising:

• a first communication port for a first communication to be implemented by a first program such that the image processing device is connectable to a computer through a network;
• a second communication port for a second communication to be implemented by a second program such that the image processing device is connectable to the computer through the network, the second program being different from the first program;
• an image processing engine configured to perform image processing;
• and
• a capability information repository configured to store capability information concerning capabilities the image processing device has,
• wherein the capability information contains second communication implementation information indicating that the image processing device has a capability of the second communication.
