SCANNERS THAT DISPLAY SETTING SCREENS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEMS COMPRISING SUCH SCANNERS, AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING SUCH SCANNERS
Abstract:
A scanner includes a scanning device, a display, and a control device. The scanning device scans a document, The control device obtains at least one of specification information and status information corresponding to a connection-target device. The specification information may comprise information identifying available functions of the connection-target device. The status information may comprise information indicating a current status of the connection-target device. The control device controls the display to display a setting screen for a scanning and printing process, in which the scanning device scans an image on a document and sends image data corresponding to the image on the document to the connection-target device for printing, when the connection-target device is a printer. The control device determines available options for setting items displayed on the setting screen for the scanning and printing process, based on the obtained at least one of the specification information and the status information.
