Abstract
When there are a plurality of kinds of starting modes in which conditions to start a process of a job are different, a device driver of an information processing apparatus can recognize the starting modes which can be designated by a peripheral apparatus.
Claims13
A data processing apparatus for processing a job from an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- attribute value holding means for holding attribute values showing one or a plurality of starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus among a plurality of kinds of starting modes in which conditions to start the process of the job are different;
- and
- returning means for returning the attribute values held in said attribute value holding means and showing one or the plurality of starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus to said information processing apparatus on the basis of an attribute value obtaining request from said information processing apparatus.
A job processing method of processing a job from an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a reading step of reading out attribute values from a memory which holds the attribute values showing one or a plurality of starting modes which can be designated by a data processing apparatus among a plurality of kinds of starting modes in which conditions to start the process of the job are different;
- and
- a returning step of returning the attribute values held in said memory and showing one or the plurality of starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus to said information processing apparatus on the basis of an attribute value obtaining request from said information processing apparatus.
An information processing apparatus which can communicate with a data processing apparatus for processing a job, comprising:
- attribute value obtaining means for obtaining attribute values showing one or a plurality of starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus among a plurality of kinds of starting modes in which conditions to start the process of the job are different from said data processing apparatus;
- and
- display control means for displaying a list of the starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus to a display unit on the basis of the attribute values obtained by said attribute value obtaining means.
An information processing method which is executed by an information processing apparatus which can communicate with a data processing apparatus for processing a job, comprising:
- an attribute value obtaining step of obtaining attribute values showing one or a plurality of starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus among a plurality of kinds of starting modes in which conditions to start the process of the job are different from said data processing apparatus;
- and
- a list displaying step of displaying a list of the starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus on the basis of the attribute values obtained by said attribute value obtaining step.
A program for controlling an information processing apparatus which can communicate with a data processing apparatus for processing a job, wherein said program allows a computer to execute:
- an attribute value obtaining step of obtaining attribute values showing one or a plurality of starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus among a plurality of kinds of starting modes in which conditions to start the process of the job are different from said data processing apparatus;
- and
- a list displaying step of displaying a list of the starting modes which can be designated by said data processing apparatus on the basis of the attribute values obtained by said attribute value obtaining step.
