发明名称 Computer capable of setting new environment for using new electronic device
摘要 A computer allowing a user to use, even when the printing device is changed, a new printing device in a state close to a familiar environment of use is provided. The computer includes a determining unit determining whether an existing environment for using another electronic device used for the same usage as the new electronic device has been set in the computer. The computer further includes a setting unit selectively executing a process for setting an environment for using the new electronic device in the computer using the existing environment as a reference, and a process for setting a default setting for using the new electronic device in the computer, depending on a result of determination.

主权项 1. A computer capable of setting a new environment close to a familiar environment for using a new electronic device, comprising: a first determining unit for determining whether or not a familiar environment for using a familiar electronic device used for the same usage as said new electronic device has been set in said computer; and a setting unit, for selectively executing, depending on a result of determination by said first determining unit, a process for setting a new environment for using said new electronic device in said computer using the familiar environment for using said familiar electronic device as a reference, and a process for setting a default environment for using said new electronic device in said computer, depending on a result of determination by said first determining unit; wherein the setting of new environment involves determination of a format of an operation screen image for setting operation conditions of a driver program; thereby simplifying use of the new electronic device for a user; said setting unit includes: a second determining unit for determining, in response to a determination by said first determining unit that said familiar environment has been set in said computer, whether two or more familiar environments are set in said computer, a selecting unit for selecting, in response to a determination that two or more familiar environments are set, an environment set as a default environment in said computer, a first setting unit for setting a new environment for using said new electronic device in said computer, using said default environment selected by said selecting unit as a reference, and a second setting unit for setting, in response to a determination by said first determining unit that said familiar environment has not been set in said computer, a predetermined default environment for said new electronic device in said computer.
