Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a speed detecting portion, executed on a processor, configured to perform wireless communications with a communication device in a plurality of predetermined frequency bands and detect communication speeds of the wireless communications that respectively correspond to the plurality of predetermined frequency bands; a communication condition setting portion, executed on the processor, configured to set a frequency band that corresponds to a highest communication speed among the communication speeds detected by the speed detecting portion, as a communication frequency band to be used in wireless communications that are performed to transmit and receive image data to/from the communication device; and a device detecting portion, executed on the processor, configured to detect communication devices that are present in a predetermined communication range, wherein the device detecting portion transmits a beacon signal at regular time intervals to surroundings of the image processing apparatus so as to detect the communication devices that are present in the predetermined communication range; the speed detecting portion detects, at predetermined detection time intervals, communication speeds that respectively correspond to the plurality of predetermined frequency bands, and does not detect a communication speed when a communication device detected by the device detecting portion can communicate only in one frequency band; and the communication condition setting portion sets the communication frequency band for each of the communication devices detected by the device detecting portion, and sets the communication frequency band at the predetermined detection time intervals.
