  • Patent number: 11494196
    Abstract: In an information-processing device a controller executes a storage process to store a command program in a memory. The command program supports the target device and outputs commands to the target device. In a case where the memory does not store the command program, an OS executes a plug and play process for a target device triggered by connection of the target device to the communication interface, and records in the memory unspecified device information indicating that the target device is unknown. In a case where the memory stores the unspecified device information, the OS does not complete a setup process even if the memory stores the command program. The controller executes, after executing the storage process, a deletion process to delete the unspecified device information from the memory so that the OS can complete the setup process.

  • Patent number: 11487486
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores instructions. The instructions cause the information processing apparatus to perform operations. The operations including: displaying a preview screen that indicates a print media having a certain width in a first direction; receiving a first input for designating a first object, the first object having a first object width in the first direction; disposing the first object in the preview screen; receiving a second input for designating a second object, the second object having a second object width in the first direction; comparing the second object width with a difference between the certain width and the first object width; in response to the comparing, modifying each of the first object and the second object such that sum of the first object width and the second object width corresponds to the certain width.
