Printer and server
One of a plurality of setting screens corresponding to a plurality of printers may be generated based on original data stored in a server. Each of the plurality of setting screens may be for permitting designation of a content of each setting item matching a print condition that a corresponding printer is capable of performing. The server may acquire specific printer identification information for identifying a specific printer from a terminal device, store target data of a print target and supply specific data, which is for representing a specific setting screen corresponding to the specific printer, to the terminal device. The server may acquire setting information indicating a designated content of each setting item designated via the specific setting screen and supply to the specific printer print data according to the target data and the designated content of each setting item indicated by the setting information.

a medium storage unit for storing a print medium of a specific medium size,
wherein the specific print condition includes a function for printing on a print medium of the specific medium size, and
in a case where a print medium in the medium storage unit runs out, the candidate condition in the printer is changed from the first candidate condition to the second candidate condition.
7. The printer as in claim 1 , wherein
the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the printer to:
supply third printer information to the server after supplying the second printer information to the server, the third printer information including third candidate condition information and the printer identification information, the third candidate condition information indicating a third candidate condition which is different from the second candidate condition, the third candidate condition information being configured to a third setting screen supplied from the server to the terminal device, the third setting screen being for setting the usage print condition, wherein the third candidate condition includes the specific print condition, and the specific print condition is capable of being set as the usage print condition in the third setting screen.
8. The printer as in claim 1 , wherein
the first printer information is supplied to the server in a case where the printer is turned on.
9. The printer as in claim 1 , wherein
the first setting screen includes an option for designating a content of a specific setting item included in the specific print condition, and
the second setting screen does not include an option for designating a content of the specific setting item.
10. The printer as in claim 1 , wherein
the first setting screen includes a specific setting item included in the specific print condition, and
the second setting screen does not include the specific setting item.
11. The printer as in claim 1 , wherein
the first setting screen is configured by using model information corresponding to the printer identification information and the first candidate condition information, and
the second setting screen is configured by using the model information and the second candidate condition information.
12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions for a server,
the computer-readable instructions, when executed by a processor of the server, cause the server to:
acquire first printer information from a printer, the first printer information including first candidate condition information and printer identification information, the first candidate condition information indicating a first candidate condition being a candidate of a print condition that the printer is capable of using, the printer identification information being for identifying the printer, the first candidate condition including a specific print condition;
supply a first setting screen to a terminal device by using the first printer information after acquiring the first printer information from the printer, the first setting screen corresponding to the printer and being for setting a usage print condition being a print condition to be used for printing, wherein the specific print condition is capable of being set as the usage print condition in the first setting screen;
acquire second printer information from the printer after acquiring the first printer information from the printer, the second printer information including second candidate condition information and the printer identification information, the second candidate condition information indicating a second candidate condition which is different from the first candidate condition, the second candidate condition not including the specific print condition;
supply a second setting screen to the terminal device by using the second printer information after acquiring the second printer information from the printer, the second setting screen corresponding to the printer and being for setting the usage print condition, wherein the specific print condition is not capable of being set as the usage print condition in the second setting screen;
acquire the usage print condition being set in the second setting screen from the terminal device after supplying the second setting screen to the terminal device;
generate print data corresponding to the usage print condition after acquiring the usage print condition from the terminal device; and
supply the print data to the printer.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 12 , wherein
the second printer information is acquired from the server in response to a candidate condition in the printer being changed from the first candidate condition to the second candidate condition.
