Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a driver. The driver includes a switching unit and has a dedicated mode and a standard mode, the dedicated mode making it possible to use all functions of a predetermined image forming apparatus, the standard mode making it possible to use a function common for plural image forming apparatuses. The switching unit performs switching from the dedicated mode to the standard mode in a case where it is determined that the dedicated mode is inapplicable after the dedicated mode has been started up.

Abstract: The present invention provides a processing mode specifying information conversion method. The method includes: acquiring first information for specifying a processing mode of a first process in a first program by acquiring means, converting the acquired first information into second information for specifying a processing mode of a second process in a second program, which is different from the first program in a method of expressing information for specifying a processing mode, by converting means, and setting the converted second information by setting means.

Abstract: A font substitution printer serving as a character output device includes a substitute font generation section, a storage section and other sections. The storage section includes a font attribute data base consisting of the font names, typeface names, encoding names and metrics names of loaded fonts and usable fonts, a typeface attribute base, and a substitute encoding data base storing therein information as to a relationship between encodings and other encodings which substitute for the former encodings.
