Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3210571
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily construct an image processing system executing various image processing functions by judging the class of an external equipment so as to recognize the form of a system and controlling data transfer with the external equipment based on the recognizing result.
SOLUTION: First external I/F 104 Constituted as bi-directional parallel I/F is connected with an external equipment 500 through an external I/F connector 305 to be communicable. On the other hand, second external I/F 105 is connected with an external equipment 501 through an external I/F connector 304 to be communicable. In this case a main control part 202 judges the class of the external equipments 500 and 501 connected to the plural external I/F 104 and 105 for bi-directional communication with external equipments and recognizes the form of the system. Then based on the recognizing result, data transfer with each external equipments 500 and 501 is controlled. This is controlled by executing a control program stored in ROM 203 and a control program loaded on RAM 206 from a recording medium by the main control part 202.
