Abstract:
1. A configuring apparatus for configuring a data processing apparatus, comprising: a communication control unit which controls wireless communication between the configuring apparatus and the data processing apparatus connected to the configuring apparatus; a detection unit which detects status of a connection with the data processing apparatus, wherein the communication control unit controls the configuring apparatus to receive information about the data processing apparatus from the data processing apparatus if the detection unit has detected establishment of a first connection with the data processing apparatus; and a display control unit which displays, on a display unit, a configuration screen to input configurations of a data process in the data processing apparatus based on the information about the data processing apparatus if the detection unit has detected disconnection of the first connection, wherein after the configurations of the data process have been input via the configuration screen, and the detection unit has detected establishment of a second connection with the data processing apparatus, the communication control unit controls the configuring apparatus to transmit, to the data processing apparatus, information based on the configurations of the data process input via the configuration screen, and if the detection unit has not detected disconnection of the first connection after reception of the information about the data processing apparatus, configurations of the data process via the configuration screen is restricted.
