Abstract
A device is disclosed. A reader is adapted to optically read contents described on a medium as an image and converting the image into image data. A network interface is adapted to be connected to a network. A communicator communicates data with a mating device through the network interface in accordance with setting information of a prescribed protocol. An acquirer acquires the setting information from the image data. A setter sets the acquired setting information to the communicator.
