Abstract: An output apparatus such as a printer is controlled by a control program. A first control program is stored in a fixed storage medium, and a second control program having a different operation than the first control program is stored in a detachable storage medium. The two control programs are selectively used, based on data received from a host computer.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus for receiving a plurality of data groups, each of which belongs to a different command system of an external apparatus. A data analyzer is included in each command system. A data receiver receives the data from the external apparatus, and a judgment is made as to whether each of the data groups received by the data receiver contains the data analyzer corresponding to the command system of the corresponding data group. A print controller bypasses a data group of a command system judged not to include the data analyzer, and printing is disabled for that data group.

Abstract: An electronic equipment includes a memory for storing information necessary for the execution of control programs and identification information which identify the control programs. A first check determines whether the identification information of the control program to be executed is equal to the identification information stored in the memory. A second check determines whether there is a vacant area in the memory when the decision by the first check indicates non-equality, and a control unit stores the information necessary for the control program to be executed in the memory together with the identification information thereof when the second check detects a vacant area.
