1. An image processing device, comprising:
circuitry that includes an internal access point, wherein
the circuitry is configured to:
establish a first wireless connection with a terminal device via the internal access point in a direct connection mode;
generate a first two-dimensional code based on the established first wireless connection;
output the first two-dimensional code to the terminal device based on the established first wireless connection, wherein
the first two-dimensional code includes address information corresponding to a network setting page,
the network setting page is displayable by a browser in the terminal device based on the output of the first two-dimensional code,
the network setting page is for execution of a network setting with the image processing device, and
the network setting page includes connection system information that specifies one of the direct connection mode or an infrastructure mode;
change the direct connection mode to the infrastructure mode based on a user input;
establish a second wireless connection with the terminal device via an external access point in the infrastructure mode,
determine a specific user operation;
generate a second two-dimensional code, based on the established second wireless connection with the terminal device via the external access point and the specific user operation; and
output the second two-dimensional code, based on the established second wireless connection with the terminal device and the specific user operation.
