Abstract: An object of the present invention is to permit smooth and proper charge processing by also permitting charging with respect to charging destination other than the user who inputs a job for charge processing. In a peripheral device managing system in which a peripheral device for receiving and processing a job, a client for sending the job to the peripheral device and a server apparatus for managing the peripheral device are interconnected via a network, the server apparatus includes means for issuing a job ticket as a job issue license to the client, the job includes at least the issued job ticket as attribution information, and the peripheral device includes means for interpreting the job ticket included in the attribution information of the job and means for confirming the fact that issuing of the job is allowed by the server apparatus on the basis of the job ticket, thereby permitting the charge processing with respect to allowed agent charging destination.

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.

Abstract: The invention enables the user to designate a start mode even if the driver software, controlling the peripheral device, does not know the start mode (start timing and condition for the job processing) settable in the peripheral device, at the installation.
