Determination of performance of apparatus and network setting

An apparatus which is communicatively connected to a server via a network, and requires a plurality of different settings, the apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus setting section for accepting an input by a first operator, and performing a setting, the setting being at least one of a setting on an operation of the apparatus, and a confirmation on the operation of the apparatus including a test run of the apparatus;
• a network setting section for accepting an input by a second operator different from the first operator, and performing a setting on a connection between the apparatus and the server;
• a setting status monitoring and storing section for monitoring an apparatus setting status representing whether the setting by the apparatus setting section has been performed, and a network setting status representing whether the setting by the network setting section has been performed;
• a setting status display section for displaying the apparatus setting status and the network setting status detected by the setting status monitoring section;
• and
• a setting status information transmitting section for transmitting, to the server, information relating to the apparatus setting status and the network setting status monitored by the setting status monitoring section,
• wherein the setting status information transmitting section judges whether the setting by the network setting section has been performed, and responsive to judging that the setting by the network setting section has been performed, the setting status information transmitting section transmits, to the server, the information relating to the apparatus setting status and the network setting status stored in the setting status monitoring section, and
• the setting status information transmitting section judges whether the setting by the apparatus setting section has been performed, and responsive to judging that the setting by the apparatus setting section has been performed, the setting status information transmitting section transmits, to the server, the information relating to the apparatus setting status and the network setting status stored in the setting status monitoring section.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording thereon an apparatus control program for controlling an apparatus control device to control an apparatus which is communicatively connected to a server via a network, and which requires a plurality of different settings, the apparatus control program causing a computer to function as the following:

• an apparatus setting section for accepting an input by a first operator, and performing a setting, the setting being at least one of a setting on a connection between the apparatus and the apparatus controlling device, and a confirmation on an operation of the apparatus including a test run of the apparatus using the apparatus controlling device;
• a network setting section for accepting an input by a second operator different from the first operator, and performing a setting on a connection between the apparatus controlling device and the server;
• a setting status monitoring section for monitoring and storing an apparatus setting status representing whether the setting by the apparatus setting section has been performed, and a network setting status representing whether the setting by the network setting section has been performed;
• and
• a setting status display section for displaying the apparatus setting status and the network setting status detected by the setting status monitoring section;
• and
• a setting status information transmitting section for transmitting, to the server, information relating to the apparatus setting status and the network setting status monitored by the setting status monitoring section,
• wherein the setting status information transmitting section judges whether the setting by the network setting section has been performed, and responsive to judging that the setting by the network setting section has been performed, the setting status information transmitting section transmits, to the server, the information relating to the apparatus setting status and the network setting status stored in the setting status monitoring section, and
• the setting status information transmitting section judges whether the setting by the apparatus setting section has been performed, and responsive to judging that the setting by the apparatus setting section has been performed, the setting status information transmitting section transmits, to the server, the information relating to the apparatus setting status and the network setting status stored in the setting status monitoring section.
