Abstract:
1. A first radio communication apparatus, comprising: a storage unit that stores a first radio communication setting for a first radio network, and a second radio communication setting for a second radio network which is different from the first radio network; a radio communication unit that (a) starts radio communication with a second radio communication apparatus using the first radio communication setting, (b) transmits, to the second radio communication apparatus, a request for switching the first radio communication setting to the second radio communication setting, (c) receives, from the second radio communication apparatus, a response corresponding to the request for switching the first radio communication setting to the second radio communication setting, (d) starts radio communication with the second radio communication apparatus using the second radio communication setting after the response corresponding to the request for switching the first radio communication setting to the second radio communication setting is received from the second radio communication apparatus, (e) transmits a print request to the second radio communication apparatus after radio communication with the second radio communication apparatus using the second radio communication setting is started, and (f) starts radio communication with the second radio communication apparatus using the first radio communication setting after completing an operation corresponding to the print request transmitted to the second radio communication apparatus; and a wired communication unit that receives the first radio communication setting and the second radio communication setting from the second radio communication apparatus before radio communication with the second radio communication apparatus using the first radio communication setting is started and before the request for switching the first radio communication setting to the second radio communication setting is transmitted to the second radio communication apparatus.
