Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A client device may cause an information memory to store communication information related to whether or not two devices are capable of directly communicating, and decide a specific communication path using the communication information. The specific communication path may be a path capable of supplying print data to a print device. The client device may send a print indication to a first device that is to perform a process performed first among one or more processes performed sequentially for realizing a print. In a case where a data format of target data is not a data format which the print device is capable of interpreting, the client device may decide the specific communication path such that the converting device is present on the specific communication path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A client device used in a system comprising a plurality of devices including a print device for performing a print of a target image represented by target data of a print target, a converting device for generating print data by performing a converting process on the target data, and the client device for performing print indication for causing the print device to perform the print of the target image, the client device comprising: a processor; and an…
