Abstract

A printing apparatus which performs printing processing based on print data, and has a direct wireless communication function, includes a wired interface, a wireless interface, and a control unit. The wired interface receives print data. The wireless interface receives print data by a wireless communication by the direct wireless communication function. The control unit applies, as a condition of a port which can be used in a communication including receiving of print data, a first port condition to a communication by the wired interface, and applies a second port condition to a wireless communication by the direct wireless communication function.

Claims

1. A printing apparatus which performs printing processing based on print data, and has a Wi-Fi Direct function, the printing apparatus comprising:

a wired interface;

a wireless interface that performs a communication by the Wi-Fi Direct function;

a memory that stores programs; and

a processor that executes the programs to;

set both a first permitted port number and a second permitted port number,

wherein the first permitted port number is a port number that is permitted to be used both in the communication by the Wi-Fi Direct function and in a communication by the wired interface, and

wherein the second permitted port number is a port number that is permitted to be used in the communication by the Wi-Fi Direct function and not permitted to be used in the communication by the wired interface.

2. The printing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a display that displays a setting screen for a user to set both of the first permitted port number and the second permitted port number.
