    Abstract: In place of first data stored in a first partition of a storage medium, setting data stored in a second partition of the storage medium is stored in the first partition, the second partition is changed to a partition containing a third partition, the setting data stored in the first partition is stored in the third partition, the first data acquired via an interface is stored in the first partition in place of the setting data stored in the first partition, and producing an electronic apparatus having the third partition. The first data is general-purpose data used in a plurality of electronic apparatuses, but not used for production of the electronic apparatus.

    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a communication section configured to perform wireless communication with a first external device using a first communication mode and with a second external device using a second communication mode, a printing section, a storage section configured to store first communication setting information, second communication setting information related, and print setting information, a detector configured to detect a predetermined input, and a controller. The controller determines a predetermined error state, generates, when the detector detects the predetermined input, based on the second communication setting information, symbol image information, and controls the printing section to print the symbol image information. The controller controls the communication section to perform, based on the second communication setting information, to communicate with the second external device and to transmit, when a request from the second external device is received, the first communication setting information and the print setting information.

    Abstract: A terminal device includes a first acquisition unit acquiring identification information of a target terminal device in a communicable state with a printing apparatus, a second acquisition unit acquiring respective pieces of identification information of one or more search terminal devices searched based on transmission of one or more search signals for searching for the target terminal device, a third acquisition unit acquiring respective pieces of distance information indicating distances to the one or more search terminal devices, and a notification controller. The notification controller causes a notifier to provide a notification of the distance information indicating a distance to the search terminal device identified by a target identification information, that is identification information identical to the identification information of the target terminal device acquired by the first acquisition unit, among the respective pieces of distance information acquired by the third acquisition unit.
