Abstract
An objective is to notify a user that a password is not set yet and to provide the user with necessary information for setting a password, when connected to a network. An information processing device includes a communication interface, a printer, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to (i) acquire setting information and address information from a server on the network via the communication interface when the communication interface is connected to the network where (a) the setting information includes a password setting state and (b) the address information includes information for accessing a password setting screen for setting the password, (ii) check the password setting state of the password based on the setting information; and (iii) control the printer to print a guide including the address information to direct the user to the password setting screen in response to the password not being set.
