Information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an image recording unit configured to perform image recording of recording an image onto a recording medium;
• an interface to which an external memory is detachably attached;
• an input unit configured to receive an instruction of a user;
• a storage unit configured to store at least one of a recording driver of controlling the image recording unit and a recording driver-command of acquiring the recording driver from an external;
• and
• a control unit configured to:
• receive, from the input unit, a recording instruction controlling the image recording unit to record an image according to the image data, which is stored in the external memory attached to the interface, onto a recording medium;
• and
• perform a recording driver-data storing process of storing at least one of the recording driver and the recording driver-command in the external memory attached to the interface.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an image reading unit configured to perform image reading of reading an image formed on a document;
• an image recording unit configured to perform image recording of recording an image onto a recording medium;
• an interface, to which an external memory is detachably attached;
• an input unit configured to receive an instruction of a user;
• a storage unit configured to store:
• at least one of a reading driver of controlling the image reading unit, and a reading driver-command of acquiring the reading driver from an external;
• and at least one of a recording driver of controlling the image recording unit and a recording driver-command of acquiring the recording driver from an external;
• and
• a control unit, configured to
• receive, from the input unit, a reading instruction of storing the image data, which is acquired by performing image reading, in the external memory attached to the interface;
• perform, when receiving the reading instruction of storing the image data, a reading driver-data storing process of storing both the image data and at least one of the reading driver and the reading driver-command in the external memory attached to the interface;
• receive, from the input unit, a recording instruction controlling the image recording unit to record an image according to the image data, which is stored in the external memory attached to the interface, onto a recording medium;
• and
• perform a recording driver-data storing process of storing at least one of the recording driver and the recording driver-command in the external memory attached to the interface.
