  • Communication program, method of installing image processing apparatus control program and image processing apparatus
    Patent number: 8243306
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and a host apparatus are connected to a network. Before the host apparatus uses the image processing apparatus for the first time, a communication program and information describing the image processing apparatus and its network address are transferred from the image processing apparatus to the host apparatus, and the host apparatus runs the communication program. On the basis of the transferred information, the communication program accesses a driver server through the network, downloads an image processing apparatus control program, installs the image processing apparatus control program in the host apparatus, and makes necessary settings. An up-to-date version of the control program for the image processing apparatus is thereby installed in the host apparatus without the need for input from the user.
