A communication device includes a determining unit and a sending unit. The determining unit determines, when setting information related to a predetermined item is received from a predetermined apparatus, whether another piece of setting information related to the predetermined item is newly received from the predetermined apparatus before a predetermined time period elapses after the setting information is received. The sending unit sends, when the determining unit determines that the another piece of setting information is not newly received from the predetermined apparatus before the predetermined time period elapses, the setting information to a server device.
