    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a reception part that receives specification of a print mode and specification of a sheet type to be used for printing; a sheet supply part that sends a sheet to a sheet conveyance path; a detection part that detects a type of a sheet sent to the sheet conveyance path; and a hardware processor that controls a printing operation, wherein when a sheet type received by the reception part is a type for which printing in the print mode received by the reception part is allowed, the sheet supply part sends a sheet to the sheet conveyance path, the hardware processor determines whether or not the print mode received by the reception part is a prohibition mode, when it is determined that the print mode is the prohibition mode, the detection part detects a type of a sheet sent to the sheet conveyance path.

    Abstract: A mobile terminal capable of communication with at least one image forming apparatus for transmitting waves for short-distance wireless communication includes a detection unit that detects, on the basis of the waves, a connection candidate device that is an image forming apparatus as a connection destination candidate in short-distance wireless communication, and a determination unit that determines a pairing mode of short-distance wireless communication in accordance with the number of connection candidate devices detected. When a single connection candidate device is detected as a connection candidate device, the determination unit determines, as the pairing mode, a first mode that does not involve an authentication operation in which a user of the mobile terminal authenticates a connection destination device for short-distance wireless communication, and when multiple connection candidate devices are detected as connection candidate devices, the determination unit determines a second mode that involves the authentication operation as the pairing mode.

    Abstract: A communication device capable of performing wireless communication measures an actual time from a first timing (at which a communication request instructing to perform communication with a specific device is informed from an application program on the communication device to an OS (Operating System) on the communication device) to a second timing (at which reply information in response to the communication request is informed from the OS to the application program). When the actual time is greater than a predetermined threshold, the communication device determines that an associating process has been performed by the OS in a specific period from the first timing to the second timing, the associating process previously registering the communication device and the specific device in association with each other. When the actual time is smaller than the predetermined threshold, the communication device determines that the associating process has not been performed in the specific period.
