Abstract:
An image forming apparatus that supports a near field communication (NFC) function includes an NFC tag for storing installation information of an application; a wireless communication module for receiving a profile including wireless configuration data from a mobile device, wherein the wireless configuration data is input by a user in execution of the application that is installed in the mobile device by using the installation information; and a control unit for forming wireless configuration based on the profile.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a speed of an Ethernet connection in a power-save mode of an image forming apparatus includes turning off a print engine when the image forming apparatus enters the power save mode, reducing the speed of the Ethernet connection between the image forming apparatus and an external device, detecting an attempt to transmit printing data via the Ethernet connection from the external device, determining a necessity of increasing the speed of the Ethernet connection based on the printing data, and receiving and outputting the printing data, wherein the receiving and outputting the printing data comprises, when it is not necessary to increase the speed of the Ethernet connection as a result of the determining, receiving and outputting the printing data after turning on the print engine, without changing the speed of the Ethernet connection.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of forming an image for image-forming data includes connecting the image-forming apparatus to a device by using a wireless communication, receiving image-forming data from the connected device; adjusting a priority order of the image-forming data that is received from the device, according to a type of the device or a mode in which the image-forming apparatus is connected to the device, and based on the adjusted priority of the image-forming data, forming an image for the image-forming data.
