1. A printer comprising:
a Wi-Fi interface configured to perform a wireless communication according to a Wi-Fi scheme;
a Bluetooth interface configured to perform a wireless communication according to a Bluetooth scheme;
a print performing unit;
a processor, and
a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the printer to perform:
after a Scan Request signal has been communicated between the printer and a terminal device, sending a first connection information to the terminal device via the Bluetooth interface, the first connection information including a first SSID and a first password corresponding to the first SSID, the first connection information being used for establishing a first wireless connection according to the Wi-Fi scheme;
receiving a first wireless connection request including the first connection information from the terminal device via the Wi-Fi interface;
in response to receiving the first wireless connection request from the terminal device, establishing the first wireless connection via the Wi-Fi interface with the terminal device;
receiving first image data from the terminal device by using the established first wireless connection via the Wi-Fi interface;
causing the print performing unit to print an image according to the received first image data;
after the first wireless connection has been disconnected, sending a second connection information to the terminal device via the Bluetooth interface, the second connection information including a second SSID different from the first SSID and a second password corresponding to the second SSID, the second connection information being used for establishing a second wireless connection according to the Wi-Fi scheme;
receiving a second wireless connection request including the second connection information from the terminal device via the Wi-Fi interface;
in response to receiving the second wireless connection request from the terminal device, establishing the second wireless connection via the Wi-Fi interface with the terminal device;
receiving second image data from the terminal device by using the established second wireless connection via the Wi-Fi interface; and
causing the print performing unit to print an image according to the received second image data.
