Abstract:
1. A setting apparatus comprising: a computer-readable memory configured to store computer-executable process steps; and a processor configured to execute the computer-executable process steps stored in the memory, wherein the process steps stored in the memory cause the processor to create a list of printer ports for display, and include computer-executable process steps to: judge whether a plurality of logical communication ports exists for a printer; exclude a network interface port of the printer before displaying the list of printer ports so as to select a local interface port of the printer if it is judged that the plurality of logical communication ports exists for the printer; and create the list of printer ports with the selected local interface port if it is judged that the plurality of logical communication ports exists for the printer, such that a user cannot select the network interface port from the list, or creating a list of printer ports without a selection of the local interface port if it is judged that the plurality of logical communication ports does not exist for the printer.
