Print apparatus and control method for obtaining print data when a print instruction is received by audio
First Claim
1. A print apparatus that communicates with an audio control device that receives an instruction by audio,wherein the audio control device executes a first reception process of receiving information on an external access point from a terminal apparatus via a first wireless communication in accordance with Bluetooth and a second reception process of receiving information on the external access point from the terminal apparatus via a second wireless communication different from the first wireless communication,wherein the print apparatus comprises:
- a communication interface configured to perform wireless communication with the external access point, wherein the audio control device connects to the external access point based on information on the external access point received in the first reception process or the second reception process;
at least one memory storing a program;
at least one processor that when executing the program causes the print apparatus to;
cause a server system to register information of the print apparatus based on an instruction provided via an operation screen of the print apparatus, wherein the print apparatus communicates with the server system via the external access point; and
obtain print data, via the external access point, the print data which is generated by the server system based on the audio control device receiving a print instruction by audio; and
a printer engine configured to execute a print process based on the obtained print data.
