<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an output device to correctly output data output by an application program and also reduce management loads in the output device and means controlling the same. <P>SOLUTION: A host computer 30 comprises: a CO (Control Object) 44 for outputting output data which is common to a plurality of types of printers 10 on the basis of data including a Unicode character code output by a POS application 42; an SO (Service Object) 45 for generating character data for output font information 13A stored in the printers 10 on the basis of the Unicode character code included in the output data; and a wrapper SO 46 which, when the output font information 13A supports a character code set different from Unicode, mediates between the CO 44 and the SO 45, converts the Unicode character code included in the output data into a character code of the character code set supported by the output font information 13A, and outputs the character code to the SO 45. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
