Summary:To provide an image forming apparatus that, when there is a change in selection whether to use wireless LAN communication as a main line or to use as a sub line, automatically connects to an access point based on the connection history at the start-up to eliminate a failure in connection with a target access point.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus performs communication through wireless LAN via access points, and when there is a change in selection whether to use the wireless LAN as a main line or to use as a sub line, causes a user to set an access point again. When storing the connection history of access points with which communication connection is successfully established, the image forming apparatus deletes the connection history.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】無線LAN通信を主回線として使用するか、副回線として使用するかの選択に変更があった場合、起動時に接続履歴に基づいたアクセスポイントと自動接続することで、目的のアクセスポイントと接続できないことがない画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】アクセスポイントを介して無線LANによる通信を行う画像形成装置において、無線LANを主回線として使用するか、副回線として使用するかの選択に変更があった場合、アクセスポイントをユーザーに再設定させる。また、通信接続を成功したアクセスポイントとの接続履歴を管理している場合は、その接続履歴を削除する。【選択図】図5
