Patent number: 9189431Abstract: A network system enables monitoring the status of peripheral devices from computers without concentrating a load on the network. A specific device driver that runs on a specific computer connected to the network has an initialization command transmission unit that sends a first initialization command to the specific printer when a process command is sent to a specific printer, and an operating status monitoring unit that, after initialization based on the first initialization command is completed, monitors the operating status of the specific printer until the printer power turns off. Because the specific computer does not initialize and does not monitor the operating status of the specific printer until the computer sends a process command, concentrating a load on the network is avoided when the network system starts up.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Yasuhiro Takeuchi, Hiroyuki Nagasawa

Patent number: 9098779Abstract: A host computer is connected to a printer that prints text according to settings specifying a text printing format. Using a function of a driver setup program, the host computer acquires a file set including an MOT file (recording device settings data) and a corresponding INF file (control device settings data) that are configured to produce the same or substantially the same printout as a printer with different printing format specifications, and configures settings stored in a registry that is referenced by a printer driver based on the acquired INF file. Using a function of a firmware setup program, the host computer generates or updates settings based on the MOT file.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Hisashi Hirayama, Hiroyuki Nagasawa, Yasuhiro Takeuchi, Nobuhiko Nishimura
